FAQPage Schema
How do I detect drift between my backtested strategy and live trading performance?

Drift detection between backtested expectations and live trading performance is identified using CUSUM statistical analysis and rolling metrics. The system compares live results against backtest benchmarks and alerts on discrepancies.

Can I set up automated kill switches for my live trading strategy?

Automated kill switches can be configured with scaled response levels to protect capital during live trading. The system executes independent kill-switch actions when performance breaches predefined threshold-based alert levels.

Does live trading monitoring support equities, futures, options, and crypto?

Live trading monitoring supports daily reconciliation and drift detection across equities, futures, options, and crypto asset classes. The system applies CUSUM drift detection and rolling metrics to all supported instruments.

What is CUSUM drift detection and when do I need it for trading?

CUSUM drift detection is a statistical method used to identify cumulative performance deviations between backtested and live trading results. It is needed when deployed strategies require real-time surveillance to prevent unnoticed degradation.

How do I configure threshold-based alerts for live trading risk monitoring?

Threshold-based alerts for live trading risk monitoring are configured by setting automated trigger levels for P&L and exposure metrics. The system activates scaled risk controls and dashboards when these thresholds are breached.
