What is Risk?
While I use common market risk techniques, that is too simple. After all, there is no single observable phenomenon called risk because risk is latent and specific to the end user.

I measure risk by the two main market risk measures, Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall, at the 99% one day horizon, were the portfolio value is 100. Risk is estimated with estimated by the five most common statistical methods, with an estimation window of thousand days.
