Lightning Talk: Constraining Automated Trading Risk with Linux Signals - Max Huddleston - CppCon 2023
github.com/CppCon/CppCon2023
Correct signal handling is a basic but important aspect of Linux applications. I'll give a brief overview of Linux signals, expand on why process management is a risk for a trading firm like Optiver, and how we've used Linux signals in our core control applications to mitigate that risk.

I'm not sure what I expected from a 5 minute talk, but this was quite underwhelming.

What is otherwise a pretty important part of trading risk control is so poorly covered in this talk. Might as well not have bothered.
