PULSE: Leverage converts market noise into account risk
Quantitative execution, market-microstructure, and risk-control research from XTRSK.
The dangerous trading system is not always the slow one. It is often the fast one whose risk state is wrong.

The research behind this lesson
This paper explains Andrew Lo's lectures build risk analysis from return distributions and statistical measures, rather than treating one realised result as a complete description of risk.
Applied to this XCore lesson: For a fast strategy, median latency or average fill quality is not enough. The review has to include tail delays, stale-order frequency and the loss distribution when cancellation or routing behaves abnormally.
