IBKR Risk Navigator report data refreshes automatically every 10 seconds, and immediately whenever an order executes, for all reports except the Measure by Price Change and Volatility Change. This report uses prices from the close of the previous business day and calculates market outcome risk by advancing the time parameter to the close of the next business day.

The Risk Navigator Allows you to

  • View and assess specific risk slices of your portfolio, such as risk by position, risk by underlying, and risk by industry.

  • View the greek contract and position risk dimensions for each report.

  • Assess Value at Risk and check Margin Sensitivity.

  • Measure your portfolio P&L (from close-to-close) by Price Change/Volatility Change, and measure exposure and the greek position dimensions by Underlying/Maturity.

  • Hypothetically modify your portfolio to test different risk scenarios before making actual changes.

  • Much more!
