Exposure and position size
How large the position is against the account. A good idea on too much size is still a bad risk.

Understand the risk before the trade.
High Risk Evaluations reads a trade or a portfolio and scores the risk behind it, then explains that score in plain language. It is the layer that keeps upside honest about its downside.
The gap it closes
Most tools sell the upside and hide the risk.
A trading idea is easy to make look good. Show the target, draw the line to profit, and leave out the part where the position is too large, the stop is too far, or three open trades all move together. That is where accounts get hurt.
High Risk Evaluations does the opposite. It starts from the risk, measures it the same way every time, and puts a clear grade on it before a decision is made. No promise of profit, just an honest read of what is at stake.
What it measures.
Six inputs, weighed together, that decide how much risk really sits behind a setup.
Leverage
How much borrowed exposure sits behind each unit of capital, and how fast that turns a small move into a large loss.
Stop distance and reward to risk
Where the exit sits and what is risked for what is targeted. A far stop with a thin target is a poor trade at any win rate.
Instrument volatility
How much the market itself moves. The same stop means very different things on a calm pair and a jumpy one.
Correlation across positions
Whether open trades are really one bet in disguise. Three positions that move together carry the risk of one large one.
Drawdown sensitivity
What this trade does to the account if it goes wrong, on top of what is already open, and how long recovery would take.
How it works
From inputs to a grade you can read.
Four steps, run the same way every time, so the same setup always gets the same answer.
1
Inputs
It reads the trade and the account: instrument, size, leverage, stop, target, and everything already open.
2
Model
Each factor is measured on the same scale, weighted, and combined with current market volatility and position correlation.
3
Risk grade
The result lands on one clear grade, from Low to Severe, so the level of risk is obvious at a glance.
4
Plain explanation
It names the reasons behind the grade in words, so the number is never a black box.
One grade, and the reasons behind it.
The scale runs from quiet to loud on purpose. The more the accent shows, the more attention the setup needs.
Low
Modest size, close stop, room in the account.
Elevated
One or two factors running warm. Worth a second look.
High
Size, leverage or correlation are stretched.
Severe
The setup can hurt the account badly if it fails.
Position size
Warm. Uses more of the account than a routine trade.
Reward to risk
Fair. The target pays enough for the distance to the stop.
Correlation
Watch. Moves with another open position, so the real exposure is larger than it looks.
Inside the group
It powers the risk you see in Tradvex.
High Risk Evaluations is the engine behind the risk context in Tradvex. A signal is never shown on its own; it comes with the grade and the reasons, so a user reads the risk at the same moment as the idea.
Risk next to every signal
Each signal in the feed carries its grade, so the downside is as visible as the upside.
A shared standard
Every product in CBI Ventures can score risk the same way, so a High means the same thing everywhere.
Ready for what is next
The engine is built to grade new instruments and new products as CBI Ventures grows.
Principles
Conservative by default, transparent by design.
A risk score is only useful if you can trust it and understand it. These are the rules the engine holds to.
- Transparent
- Every grade comes with the reasons behind it, in words
- Conservative
- When a factor is unclear, it leans toward more caution, not less
- Honest
- It scores risk only, and never promises a profit
- Human in control
- It informs the decision; the person still makes it
Trading involves risk. High Risk Evaluations is a decision-support tool that scores risk for education. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell, and it does not predict outcomes. Trading with leverage can lead to losses greater than your deposit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose, and make your own decisions.
