I'm having some frustrations with this platform in regards to risk management, and was hoping someone could help me understand or shed some light. I have implemented a handful of different risk management systems, including framework algo's with a risk management model and non-framework algo's with hard systems of UnrealizedProfitLoss targets or stops and others. My problem is my target risk is almost always blown out of the water (ie. frequent 10%-18% losses when the target was 2%). And I'm not sure what to do about this. I really like QC and I've spent a decent amount of time learning how to implement things, I just cant justify using this platform if I cant properly control risk. I was just curious how users commonly manage risk with live trading?
