Risk before speed
Build a first-class refusal path with exposure reservations, controlled shutdown, and evidence-based recovery.
READING COLLECTION / CATEGORY
RISK & OPERATIONS.
Treat permission to trade, refusal to trade, and recovery as equally important parts of an HFT API. This collection focuses on explicit control ownership and the evidence needed to understand outstanding exposure.
How to use this collection
Begin with the full risk-controls article, then use the linked operational checklist to turn policies into scenario tests. Read the architecture and derivatives guides for complementary discussions of reservations and residual positions. An engineering checklist supports review; it does not replace provider requirements or qualified legal and compliance advice.
Connect these readings with the HFT API blueprint, the market tracks, and the technical glossary. Each full article links to a primary reference for its documented example. Consult current provider specifications before applying the ideas to an actual integration.
