Simulation Analysis

A risk measurement technique based on ranges of historical price changes and/or Monte Carlo methods. Typically, the position or portfolio is revalued at each price or set of prices generated by the price generation mechanism. Either the largest absolute loss or a conservative percentile of losses reflecting a confidence interval analysis would be selected as the appropriate measure of the 'worst case' position or portfolio risk. See Worst Case, Scenario Analysis.
