1) Foundations: The Unified Stop Model
In the GATS Quantum Narrative, every trade is a particle of intention entering the market’s probabilistic field. To maximize its life expectancy, we unify stop logic on the daily timeframe.
- Unified Initial Stop:
DS = DAATS = 16 × ATR-256 (M1440) - Break-Even (BE%) Rule: When unrealized profit ≥
7.8125%of the initial DAATS (i.e.,1/16), move stop to entry. The trade becomes risk-free. - Post-BE Trailing: Trail at a fixed gap equal to
7.8125%of the initial DAATS (i.e.,1/16 Ă— DAATSâ‚€), ratcheting only tighter.
Interpretation: The initial unified stop grants maximum breathing room; the BE% flips exposure to “house money;” the fixed trail preserves trend participation without choking on noise.
2) The Global Structural Channel (GSC)
The GSC is the structural “potential well” system built on ATR-256 (M1440). Multipliers define discrete energy states (“wells”) that price can traverse:
Wells: Ă—3, Ă—6, Ă—9, Ă—12, Ă—15, Ă—16, Ă—18, Ă—21
Quantum narrative: Each well is a quantized state. As price tunnels from one well to the next, it releases energy. The protocol banks profit at specific wells to recycle capital efficiently.
3) Profit-Banking Overlay (PBO) Rules
Bank profits at structural wells while letting a final fraction ride for asymmetry. Percentages are applied to the remaining open size at each checkpoint.
| GSC Well | Banking Action | Quantum Narrative |
|---|---|---|
| ×3 | No banking | Ground state — energy not yet proven. |
| ×6 | Bank 25% of position | First quantum leap — release partial energy. |
| ×9 | Bank 25% of remaining (cumulative 50%) | Stable orbit — harvest more energy. |
| ×12 | Bank 25% of remaining (cumulative 75%) | Deep resonance — most energy secured. |
| ×15–×21 | Let final 25% run until trail or exhaustion | Asymmetry zone — the fragment may transcend to higher wells. |
Implementation Notes:
- BE% trigger =
0.078125 Ă— DAATSâ‚€; post-BE trail gap =0.078125 Ă— DAATSâ‚€. - All position sizes are calculated on
DS = DAATS = 16 Ă— ATR-256 (M1440). - Partial closes execute at market on well touch/close confirmation per desk rules.
- Trailing stop continues to ratchet regardless of banking actions.
4) Lifecycle of a Trade (Quantum Metaphor)
- Birth: Trade launches with
DS = DAATS = 16 Ă— ATR-256; sized on DS risk. - Adolescence: At
+7.8125% × DAATS₀, stop moves to entry — risk collapses to zero. - Maturity: Price tunnels the GSC wells; profit is banked at ×6, ×9, ×12.
- Old Age: Final 25% rides deeper wells (×15–×21) or until the trail captures it.
- Death/Rebirth: Trail exit recycles the last fragment back to equity for redeployment.
5) Risk Tiers (M60 Governance)
- Level 1: 0.05% of equity (test particles)
- Level 2: 0.5% of equity (standard resonances)
- Level 3: 5% of equity (high-energy state; strict gating)
Sizing Principle: Position size = (Dollar risk) Ă· (DS distance). With unified initial stop, DS distance = 16 Ă— ATR-256 (M1440).
6) Portfolio Guardrails
- Concurrent Level-3 cap: Max 2 Level-3 positions at any time.
- Total crypto DS-risk cap: ≤ 10% of free equity.
- Correlation buckets: One active trade per cluster (BTC cluster, ETH cluster, ALT cluster).
- No Level-3 pyramids: Adds allowed only at sub-Level-3 risk and sized on current DS.
- Slippage buffer: Pad DS distance by average spread + conservative slippage in sizing.
7) Strategic Benefits
- Maximum life expectancy: Unified DS=DAATS avoids premature stop-outs.
- Capital recycling: Banking overlays repatriate capital at structural wells.
- Asymmetry: Final 25% rides deep trends for outsized payoff tails.
- Simplicity: One volatility anchor, one set of rules.
- Resilience: BE% + fixed trail ensure trades cannot revert to loss after early move.
8) Closing Quantum Narrative
In GATS, each trade is a quantum traveler—anchored by unified DS=DAATS, ascending through structural wells, releasing measured profit-energy, and preserving a fragment for transcendence. The portfolio becomes a living wavefunction: breathing, expanding, and recycling capital energy through cycles of death and rebirth.
