We will now learn how to calculate the VaR of one position and two positions by applying the concept of volatilities and correlations.
The following examples of how to calculate the risk of one and two positions illustrate the basic concept of parametric (delta) VaR estimation for linear instruments.
The general steps for calculating VaR are:
