Without any knowledge of probabilities, the reader can fully understand the meaning of these risk indicators and how to use them when faced with real life situations that require risk analysis and decision-making. The authors then show how to marry this simple approach to financial risk with a conduct risk index designed to benchmark the conduct of natural risk-takers like traders, and measure how far these risk-takers are from a responsible behavior. A ready-to-use version of this conduct risk index calculator is provided as an Excel add-in on the book's companion website"-- ER -
