# Alpha Tilt

**Alpha Tilt** skews the execution schedule, **front-loading or back-loading trades** based on market expectations. This setting modifies **order distribution over time** without changing the underlying execution trajectory.

#### **How It Works**

* **Positive Alpha Tilt (1)** – **Front-loads execution**, executing **more aggressively early** and slowing down later.
* **Negative Alpha Tilt (-1)** – **Back-loads execution**, starting **slowly** and accelerating towards the end.
* **Neutral Alpha Tilt (0)** – Maintains **even execution** throughout the order duration.

#### **Considerations**

**Positive Alpha Tilt (1) – Front-Loaded Execution**

* Best for **news-driven trading** or **price reversion strategies** where early execution is critical.

**Negative Alpha Tilt (-1) – Back-Loaded Execution**

* Ideal for **trading into liquidity events** or **momentum-driven strategies** where later execution is preferred.

**Neutral Alpha Tilt (0) – Even Execution**

* Suitable for **balanced execution**, ensuring steady participation over time.

This setting allows traders to **fine-tune execution timing**, optimizing for early or late fills based on **market conditions and strategy objectives**.
