Software bug which caused one of our strategies to see its AUM reduced to 0 so it immediately started trading out of all positions. Eventually caught by a turnover limit in the risk layer.https://twitter.com/ellegist/status/1358141733230567424 …

Yep, also I'm guessing this is based off Black-Scholes so probably something to account for it dictating fractions in the hedging.

As far as I remember it was even ditzier, smth like a function that should have rounded toward zero actually rounded away from zero? Net exposure is 0.7 so sell 1 contract to bring your net to -0.3, but then system thinks you need to buy 1, which brings you back to 0.7 etc...
