Monte-Carlo VaR for Crypto Derivatives

< 1 min read

In this video we will see how to calculate VaR using Monte-Carlo techniques and our library, DQTools. Using historical market data, we calculate a high-dimensional multivariate distribution based on crypto derivative risk factors,. Then, using samples from that distribution, calculate 95% confidence 1-day VaR and the associated expected-shortfall.
