Continuous Model Validation – Quantum State Tomography

Continuous Model Validation – Quantum State Tomography

Introduction
Imagine a trading model as a quantum system whose state must be constantly measured to remain accurate—its parameters shifting with market evolution. Dr. Glen Brown’s Law 9 of the Nine-Laws Framework introduces continuous model validation, drawing on quantum state tomography to reconstruct and optimize performance. Integrated into the Global Algorithmic Trading Software (GATS) strategies (GATS1 to GATS43200), this law employs weekly reviews with the Global Normalized Asset Score Difference (GNASD) to adjust indicators like ADX or ATR periods. This article examines how GATS strategies maintain resilience, blending quantum precision with adaptive trading discipline.

Understanding Law 9: Continuous Model Validation
Law 9 requires weekly validation of GATS strategies, using GNASD to assess performance metrics (e.g., Sharpe ratio, drawdown) against thresholds (e.g., drawdown > 5%). If metrics drift, the law triggers “rebirthing”—recalibrating parameters like ADX thresholds, ATR periods, or DAATS multipliers (16x ATR(256)) to realign with market conditions. This process, applied across multi-timeframe alignments (e.g., M1/M5/M15 for GATS1, M43200 for GATS9), ensures models adapt to regime shifts, maintaining a 5:1 reward-to-risk ratio and validated consistency.

Quantum Analogy: Quantum State Tomography
In quantum mechanics, state tomography reconstructs a system’s state by measuring multiple observables, ensuring accuracy over time. Similarly, Law 9’s continuous validation acts like tomography, sampling performance data (GNASD, drawdowns) to rebuild the trading model’s state. This process reduces uncertainty, akin to collapsing a quantum wavefunction, ensuring GATS strategies evolve with the market’s probabilistic nature across timeframes.

GATS Integration Across Strategies
The nine GATS strategies apply Law 9 with timeframe-specific validations:

  • GATS1 (Global Momentum Scalper, M1): Reviews M1/M5/M15 weekly, recalibrating ADX > 18 or ATR(256) if drawdown > 5% for 0.01%–0.1% risk trades.
  • GATS2 (Global Quick Trend Trader, M5): Adjusts ADX > 20 or GMACD (8, 17, 5) on M5/M15/M30 if GNASD flags issues, for 0.02%–0.2% risk.
  • GATS3 (Global Rapid Trend Catcher, M15): Rebirths ATR periods on M15/M30/M60 if drawdown exceeds 5%, for 0.03%–0.3% risk.
  • GATS4 (Global Intraday Swing Trader, M30): Recalibrates DAATS multipliers on M30/M60/M240 if GNASD drops, for 0.04%–0.4% risk.
  • GATS5 (Global Hourly Trend Follower, M60): Validates M60/M240/M1440 weekly, adjusting parameters if drawdown > 5%, for 0.05%–0.5% risk.
  • GATS6 (Global Four-Hour Trend Follower, M240): Rebirths GMACD (15, 25, 8) on M240/M1440/M10080 if GNASD shifts, for 0.06%–0.6% risk.
  • GATS7 (Global Daily Trend Rider, M1440): Recalibrates ADX or ATR on M1440/M10080/M43200 if drawdown exceeds 5%, for 0.07%–0.7% risk.
  • GATS8 (Global Weekly Trend Rider, M10080): Adjusts parameters on M10080/M43200 if GNASD indicates drift, for 0.08%–0.8% risk.
  • GATS9 (Global Monthly Trend Rider, M43200): Validates M43200 weekly, rebirthing if drawdown > 5%, for 0.09%–0.9% risk.

This scaling ensures frequent updates for shorter timeframes (GATS1–GATS3) and periodic adjustments for longer timeframes (GATS7–GATS9).

Trading Example: XRPUSD on June 28, 2025, 07:16 PM EST
At 07:16 PM EST today, XRPUSD’s weekly performance shows a 6% drawdown: EMA Zones in Transition (Pale Green), mixed HAS candles on M1440, I-Trend Green ≈ Red, GMACD flat, and ADX = 17. ATR(256) = 0.02, DAATS = 16×0.02 = 0.32. GNASD flags a 4.8 Sharpe ratio drop.

  • GATS1 (M1): Recalibrates ADX to 17 and ATR(256) to 128 periods for 0.01% risk ($10), resuming trades after rebirthing, targeting $50.
  • GATS5 (M60): Adjusts DAATS multiplier to 15x (0.30) on M60/M240/M1440 for 0.05% risk ($50), targeting $250 post-validation.
  • GATS9 (M43200): Rebirths ADX to 17 and ATR to 512 periods for 0.09% risk ($90), stabilizing monthly trend, targeting $450.
    Validation restores performance, confirmed by GNASD.

Quantum Connection: Reconstructing Market States
Continuous validation mirrors quantum state tomography, reconstructing the trading model’s state through GNASD and performance metrics. This process reduces uncertainty, akin to measuring a quantum system’s observables, ensuring GATS1–GATS9 adapt to market shifts across timeframes with precision.

Risk Controls

  • Rebirthing Trigger: Recalibrate if drawdown > 5% or Sharpe < 5, adjusting ADX, ATR, or DAATS (Law 9).
  • Pause During Drift: Suspend trades during validation for GATS1–GATS3, limiting risk to 0.01%–0.03% (Law 1).
  • Exposure Check: Cap total risk at 2%, rebalancing with GNASD if parameters shift (Law 7).
  • Slippage Review: Adjust padding if execution noise exceeds 0.1x ATR post-rebirthing (Law 8).
  • Validation Frequency: Conduct weekly reviews, extending to biweekly for GATS7–GATS9 if stable (Law 9).

Key Takeaways
Law 9’s continuous model validation, inspired by quantum state tomography, enables GATS1–GATS9 to adapt through weekly rebirthing. This approach ensures resilience across timeframes, from rapid scalping to long-term trends, solidifying the Nine Laws’ adaptive framework.
