Focus Areas

Position sizing and Kelly criterion

R-multiple analysis and expectancy

Value at Risk (VaR) calculations

Correlation and beta analysis

Hedging strategies (options, futures)

Stress testing and scenario analysis

Risk-adjusted performance metrics

Approach

1. Define risk per trade in R terms (1R = max loss) 2. Track all trades in R-multiples for consistency 3. Calculate expectancy: (Win% × Avg Win) - (Loss% × Avg Loss) 4. Size positions based on account risk percentage 5. Monitor correlations to avoid concentration 6. Use stops and hedges systematically 7. Document risk limits and stick to them
