We will have two presentations:

Presentation #1: "What is Risk, Using Risk to Trade": Risk measures can be useful in position sizing and looking for opportunities.  Several risk measures, like beta, are oversimplifications of risk and rely on high correlations to often uncorrelated markets.  This presentation will be light on the conceptual and heavy on actual trading methods.  Topics to be covered: Risk cycles, time frames, end point bias, calculation methods, risk based trading.
