Portfolio Risk

Portfolio risk is the combined exposure to loss across all open positions taken together, not each one in isolation. Currency-pair correlations are central: correlated positions (e.g. long EUR/USD and long GBP/USD) stack the same underlying risk, so true exposure can exceed the sum of individual stop-losses.
