The book

Everything a sleeve holds, viewed as one.

Ask a trader how the desk is doing and they won't recite individual positions — they'll talk about the book: everything a strategy holds, read as one thing with one profit and loss.

In Quantreno every sleeve has a book — its set of open positions. The desk's Books module shows one row per sleeve, budget and deployed capital side by side, so you can compare methods at a glance instead of scanning holdings line by line.
