XCore HFT / Trading Lab
PULSE: Arbitrage is exposed between the legs
Quantitative execution, market-microstructure, and risk-control research from XTRSK.
A strategy does not trade a chart. It trades through queues, limits, acknowledgements and a finite capital budget.
A compact operating checklist is: 1) define hedge, cancel and reroute thresholds; 2) model partial fills and venue-specific minimum sizes; 3) measure completion-time distributions.
How does your desk distinguish a temporary execution problem from evidence that the underlying edge has changed?

The research behind this lesson
This paper explains The seminar frames electronic markets as price-time-priority queues. It separates queue value into spread capture versus adverse-selection cost and the option value of retaining a place in line.
Applied to this XCore lesson: An order lifetime therefore cannot be based on elapsed time alone: the system must reassess whether its queue position, expected spread and adverse-selection risk still justify keeping the order alive.
