Risk Management
Everything that bounds what a strategy can lose: position sizing, stops, exposure caps, per-order limits, kill switches. Signal research asks 'when am I right?'; risk management asks 'what happens when I'm wrong?' — and the second question decides survival. Automated strategies need automated risk rails, because no one watches every tick.

Backtests are hypothetical, computed by DeployQuant's engine on minute-resolution consolidated US market data (2021-01-04 to 2026-07-17, $10,000 starting capital, no margin, fees and slippage not modeled) and do not guarantee future results. Nothing on this page is investment advice. Live trading involves risk of loss.
