Volatility Intelligence and Strategic Opportunity Radar
VISOR is a patent-pending AI system that transforms how algorithmic trading strategies identify opportunities, manage risk, and generate alpha in volatile markets.
By systematically identifying the most volatile markets and translating complex market intelligence into precise trading instructions, VISOR provides The Amplitude Fund with a measurable competitive advantage in capturing volatility-driven returns.

The Challenge VISOR Solves
Algorithmic trading faces a fundamental problem: how do you systematically identify which markets will be volatile enough to trade profitably, and how do you translate complex market intelligence—news, analyst reports, policy shifts—into precise trading instructions?
Traditional Approaches Fall Short
• Purely quantitative systems ignore qualitative intelligence
• Human judgement lacks consistency and auditability
• Single-scenario forecasts force premature commitment
• No systematic adversarial validation prevents overconfident deployments

Alpha Generation Through Systematic Market Intelligence
Superior Market Selection:
The Harvestable Volatility Signature systematically ranks markets across five dimensions—Catalyst Density, Information Landscape, Microstructure Liquidity, Cross-Asset Spillover, and Options Surface Tension—ensuring capital is deployed where volatility opportunities are most favourable.
Early Positioning Advantages
Cross-asset entanglement networks identify leading indicators (e.g., Bitcoin funding rates predicting NASDAQ volatility 12 hours ahead), enabling proactive positioning before conventional systems react.
Reduced Drawdowns:
The Devil's Advocate Agent provides adversarial validation, vetoing trades with elevated confidence penalties. Theoretical backtesting suggests 15-20% smaller maximum drawdowns compared to unguided systems.
Regime-Aware Adaptation:
VISOR continuously classifies market regimes (Normal, Transition, Stress) and adjusts trading parameters accordingly, capturing volatility expansion whilst managing tail risks.

VISOR
Patent-Pending Innovation
Superior Market Selection:
VISOR's technical architecture represents genuine innovation in algorithmic trading systems, protected by patent filing GB2516800.6 at the UK Intellectual Property Office.
Financial Value Vectors (FVVs)
Structured framework converting qualitative narratives into machine-readable vectors with normalised components: Impact Potential, Resource Structure, Timeline Horizon, and Risk-Adjusted Value.
Quantum Value Vectors (QVVs)
The Devil's Advocate Agent provides adversarial validation, vetoing trades with elevated confidence penalties. Theoretical backtesting suggests 15-20% smaller maximum drawdowns compared to unguided systems.
Devil's Advocate Agent
Adversarial AI agent with veto powers, providing counterfactual simulation and confidence penalty assessment to prevent overconfident allocations based on low-quality information.
Cross-Asset Entanglement Network
Method for representing and automatically propagating probability updates across interdependent assets using entanglement coefficients and lead-lag relationships.
Dual-Cadence Architecture
Two-tier system operating on strategic (quarterly/monthly) and tactical (daily/intraday) timescales with feedback synchronisation, balancing responsiveness with strategic discipline.
Harvestable Volatility Signature
Composite metric systematically ranking markets for volatility-harvesting suitability, ensuring optimal deployment of trading capital across the opportunity set.
How VISOR Works: The Dual Cadence
VISOR operates on two complementary timescales, ensuring both strategic discipline and tactical responsiveness.
Strategic Layer (Quarterly/Monthly)
Deep Market Analysis & Pre-Deployment
• Analyses macroeconomic trends, policy outlooks, and structural market shifts
• Ranks all tradable markets using the Harvestable Volatility Signature
• Selects top ~20 markets and pre-deploys Wraithbot algorithms to broker platforms
• Sets strategic risk budgets and baseline parameters
This ensures we're "fishing in the right ponds"—the markets with the most favourable volatility characteristics.
Tactical Layer
(Daily/Intraday)
Real-Time Allocation & Activation
• Ingests overnight news, regime shifts, and breaking catalysts
• Updates Quantum Value Vectors with new probability distributions
• Generates allocation weights (e.g., "15% to NASDAQ, 8% to Bitcoin, 12% to Gold")
• Issues VISOR Card with specific
instructions and evidence-based rationale
The Wraithbot algorithms are already deployed and waiting. VISOR simply activates them and adjusts position sizing based on current conditions.

VISOR
Integration with the Wraithbot Trading System
VISOR doesn’t replace the Wraithbot—it directs it. Think of the Wraithbot as a precision instrument and VISOR as the targeting system.
The Wraithbot: Execution Excellence
The Wraithbot is a dual-confirmation oscillator-breakout strategy licenced to The Amplitude Fund. It uses the Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) oscillator combined with volume confirmation and dynamic stop-loss/take-profit levels. It's brilliant at harvesting volatility when it appears—but it needs to know where and when to trade.
Strategic Layer
VISOR identifies the 20 markets that suit the Wraithbot's volatility-harvesting approach and pre-deploys the algorithms with market-specific parameters (STC thresholds, volume multiples, stop/target levels), optimised through Wraith's backtesting system.
Tactical Layer
Each day, VISOR issues allocation weights (e.g., "15% to NASDAQ 1-hour, 8% to Bitcoin 2-hour, 12% to Gold 1-hour") and activation gates. The Wraithbot algorithms are already in place; VISOR simply turns them on and adjusts position sizing.
Feedback Loop
Daily performance metrics feed back into VISOR's learning modules, refining agent weights and parameter mappings. The system improves continuously based on what actually works in live markets.
VISOR
Regulatory Compliance & Transparency
VISOR is designed from the ground up to meet institutional governance standards and regulatory requirements.
Full Auditability
Every decision is documented with evidence-based rationale. VISOR generates daily "VISOR Cards" explaining both the "How" (specific trading instructions) and the "Why" (evidence-based rationale).
Semantic Versioning
All parameter sets are versioned with immutable hashes, creating complete audit trails that satisfy FCA and MiFID II requirements for algorithmic trading systems.
Decision Provenance
Regulators can trace every decision back to its evidence base, understanding exactly what information drove each allocation and how the system responded to market events.
