The most of your trading account you choose to have at risk across all open positions at the same time. VSC does not prescribe a universal limit.

If a stop has moved to or above entry, this tool counts the planned entry-to-stop loss as ₹0. Gap risk can still remain.

VSC principle: Per-trade discipline can still create portfolio-level risk. The whole book matters — especially when several positions depend on the same market driver.

How the calculation works

01

Measure each position

For a long position, stop-loss risk is the entry-to-stop distance multiplied by the share quantity.

02

Add the open risk

Sum the stop-loss risk across all active positions. This is the rupee risk currently committed across the book.

03

Compare with account size

Divide total stop-loss risk by trading capital to express the combined risk as total portfolio risk.

Core formulas: Position risk = max(Entry − Stop, 0) × Shares · Total account risk % = Σ Position risk ÷ Account size

Sector / themes are descriptive, not correlation estimates. The optional group field lets you see how much stop-loss risk sits in simple buckets such as “Banks”, “Defence” or “AI/Data Centre”. It does not calculate statistical correlation or diversification benefit.

How to read the result

Total stop-loss risk
The rupee amount you would lose if every open position exited at its stop at the same time. It is the combined loss the book is currently exposed to, not an expected loss.
Total account risk %
That total divided by trading capital. It is the single number to compare against whatever open-risk limit you have set for yourself.
Group concentration
How much of the open risk sits in one bucket you named. Positions in one bucket often move together, so a low total can still hide a single concentrated bet.
Stops at or above entry read as zero
A position whose stop sits at or above entry contributes no downside risk to this total. That is deliberate, and it means the figure understates risk if the stop cannot be filled.
