Frequently asked questions

What is an R-multiple in allocations?

R is the desk’s unit of risk capital. Allocations cap how many R each trader can deploy, independent of notional position size on any single trade.

How does this relate to Team Pulse allocation sub-tab?

Team Pulse shows a live preview of allocation state during the session. The Allocations tab is where caps are managed, history is reviewed, and rebalances are approved.
