Throttle Control Panel — Smart Capacity
How MARS uses this
Before any fresh trade, MARS subtracts summed live stop-distance from the gate-authorized pool and converts the remainder into a concrete directive: how many trades, at what per-trade risk. The arithmetic runs while the operator is calm; under pressure the panel is obeyed, not renegotiated.
How it benefits you
You never size the next trade as if the open ones don't exist - the most common leak in discretionary risk. Open exposure visibly consumes capacity, break-even positions stop masquerading as free, and the account never quietly stacks past its authorized posture.
The exposure-pressure chain: authorized pool, minus live open risk, equals fresh capacity - resolved into one deployment directive.

Executed in order, every cycle:
What it prevents
Without the chain, a trader holding two open positions deploys four fresh trades at full size and quietly runs six positions of risk against a four-position pool. The chain makes that arithmetic visible before deployment — and resizes or reduces fresh trades so total active risk stays inside the authorized pool.
Worked arithmetic
Pool minus open risk, divided by per-trade risk, floored to whole trades, bounded by mode — the chain contains no term for conviction, streaks, or how close the last trade came. That absence is the design: the formula's indifference is what makes its output obeyable when the operator's own arithmetic would have bent.
Doctrine
Further illustration
The benchmark models how often each tier should be used given the gate history. MARS compares live tier deployment against that expectation each review cycle, reading over-use of high tiers as aggression drift and under-use as unmonetized authority - both invisible in raw P&L.

It always fits inside the pool. That does not make four trades at token size a cycle worth running.
