Having the comfort level to exit positions, go to cash, raise cash when you need to be, but then also get back into the market when your signals turn." ~ @ManishKhattaMain Takeaways Buy high and sell higher, whatever the asset class. For quantitative investors, their strategy only involves looking at the price without external factors such as climate change, earnings, etc. Conquering risk is all about avoiding the maximum drawdown.

Constrained only deals with minor adjustments, while unconstrained is freer, without any limitations.
