Curriculum pillar

Portfolio Risk Management

The control system that integrates the first three pillars into a complete trading process. You'll learn how to build portfolios that express your macro views (Pillar 1), with fundamentally strong long and short ideas (Pillar 2), each structured with attractive risk-reward characteristics (Pillar 3). Portfolio Level Risk management is a disciplined framework covering position sizing, options expiry management and preemptive and reactive risk management techniques. The focus is on generating superior risk-adjusted returns. Without this systematic framework, it's almost impossible to scale a trading account consistently. Great traders are, above all else, exceptional risk managers. This is the skill set that transforms trading from a hobby into a business.

Outcomes

This pillar will allow you to understand what risk-adjusted returns really means, thus allowing you to tune out the market noise. You will understand that successful trading is not about getting a better crystal ball — it is revelling in the fact that you don't need one.
