Conditional Value At Risk CVaR Model for Paper Trading

Quantitative Framework, Technical Execution Rules, and Diagnostic Journaling

Launch Terminal Paper Trading Journal
Executive Definition & Core Answer

Risk-adjusted return ratios—including the Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, Calmar Ratio, and System Quality Number (SQN)—quantify the excess return generated by a trading system per unit of volatility or downside risk. In paper trading evaluation, these metrics distinguish between genuine institutional alpha and reckless leverage that masks catastrophic tail risk.

This analysis is part of the SlateTick paper trading platform and trade execution journal, designed to calibrate execution discipline, risk modeling, and multi-asset simulation across Equities, Forex, and Crypto without risking live capital.

Precise formula and quantitative position-sizing model

Formulation & Proof $100k Virtual Capital Sizing
Simulated Account: $100,000 virtual balance. Baseline Risk (1.0R): $1,000. Trade Model: Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) Model on Apple Inc. (AAPL). AAPL Quantitative Model Execution: Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) Model - Model Parameters: 50 Trade Historical Sample on AAPL Equities - Baseline Sizing Metric: Fixed-R Model ($1,000 max allowable loss per setup) - Planned Entry Price: $225.50 | Stop Loss: $223.00 ($2.50 risk/share) - Calculated Order Quantity: $1,000 / $2.50 = 400 shares Quantitative Output & Performance Proof: - Model Target (+2.5R / +$6.25): $231.75 - Outcome: Full exit at $231.75 (+6.25 * 400 = +$2,500.00 / +2.50R net gain). Actionable Takeaway: Applying the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) Model protocol prevented over-leveraging and stabilized the equity curve.

By calculating position size strictly based on the distance between your entry price and technical invalidation level, your risk remains fixed at 1.0R ($1,000) regardless of the asset's nominal price. To simulate and log your orders under real-world spread and slippage dynamics, explore the core paper trading simulation workspace.
