Value at Risk (VaR) Calculator — Portfolio Risk
Fincai's Value at Risk calculator estimates the potential downside of your stock and options positions, so you can put a concrete number on the loss you might face over a given horizon and confidence level. It turns a portfolio of positions into a single, comparable risk figure.
Use it to size positions responsibly, compare the risk of different strategies side by side, and make sure a single trade or a correlated cluster of trades does not put more of your capital on the line than you intend.
The calculator is part of Fincai's broker-independent pricing and risk engine, alongside the options pricing services, the Greeks tools, and the position sizing calculator. Expressing risk as one number over a chosen horizon and confidence level makes it easy to weigh a new trade against your existing exposure and to see when a cluster of correlated positions concentrates more risk than any single line suggests.
VaR is an estimate, not a ceiling: real losses can exceed a Value at Risk figure, especially in fast or illiquid markets, and the estimate depends on its assumptions and inputs. Use it as one input among several — combined with disciplined position sizing, defined stop-loss rules, and your own judgment — rather than as a guarantee about how much you can lose.
