QT's Responsibility: Risk Management

QT turns approved signals into live positions. Every QT decision answers one question: how do you deploy a strategy without taking risk you didn't intend?

Pillar 1

Risk Sizing

How large a position given the edge and the portfolio? How much capital does the signal warrant?

Pillar 2

Position Limits

Maximum per-position size. Sector, asset-class, and gross/net concentration caps.

Pillar 3

Portfolio Fit

Does this strategy diversify or concentrate risk against the live book? Correlation with existing strategies.

Pillar 4

Execution

Can we execute at scale without moving the market? Order types, slippage, market impact.
