Portfolio Stress Test & Risk Diagnostics โ€‹

TickerForge turns a raw broker import or balance snapshot into clear, actionable portfolio risk diagnostics โ€” focused on risk structure (concentration, exposure, drawdown behavior), not hype or prediction.

Import your portfolio from IBKR or via CSV and get four structured reports: a health score snapshot, a full portfolio health check, downside and upside stress tests, and sector allocation analysis. Each report answers a specific question about your portfolio's real risk exposure.


See it in Action ๐ŸŽฌ โ€‹

Here is a quick look at how you can import your portfolio via a simple IBKR screenshot and get an instant institutional-grade portfolio risk analysis.

Educational simulation; not investment advice.


Report 1 โ€” Portfolio Snapshot: Instant Risk Overview โ€‹

A one-screen view of your portfolio's structure: scores, exposure, concentration, and primary stress driver.

What does a portfolio snapshot tell you? โ€‹

  • How healthy is my portfolio right now?
  • Am I diversified โ€” or just feeling diversified?
  • What's the single biggest structural risk?

Example output highlights

  • Equity / Cash / Breadth
  • Composite scores (Overall / TickerForge / Piotroski)
  • Risk profile (e.g., Moderate)
  • Concentration (top name / top sector / cyclical tilt)
  • Stress scenario summary (ฮฒ-based) + primary driver

Report 2 โ€” Portfolio Health Check: Full Risk Audit โ€‹

A structured portfolio health analysis that explains why your score looks the way it does and what to fix next.

What does a portfolio health check reveal? โ€‹

  • What's penalizing my portfolio health score?
  • What are the biggest risk flags in my current holdings?
  • What specific actions would improve my portfolio structure?

Example output highlights

  • Net liquidation, gross exposure, net exposure (long/short aware)
  • Good / Warning sections (human-readable)
  • Action list (single-name cap, sector balancing, cash policy, etc.)

Report 3A โ€” Portfolio Stress Test: Downside Scenario โ€‹

A downside portfolio stress test using beta-weighted impact analysis:

position shock = ฮฒ ร— index shock

This helps you understand portfolio drawdown behavior and which positions drive losses (or hedging gains) when markets fall.

What does a downside portfolio stress test show? โ€‹

  • What happens to my portfolio if the market drops 10%?
  • Do my short positions actually hedge my long book?
  • Which holdings contribute most to my portfolio drawdown?

Example output highlights

  • Equity now vs stressed equity, drawdown %, net dollar impact
  • Long book impact vs short hedge impact
  • Gross exposure (stressed) + required equity heuristic
  • Top position impacts table ranked by loss contribution

Report 3B โ€” Portfolio Stress Test: Upside + Margin Call Risk โ€‹

The mirror scenario: when markets rise sharply, short positions can lose quickly and trigger a margin call.

This stress test adds a practical constraint โ€” a maintenance margin heuristic โ€” to flag when your portfolio could hit a margin call in an upside shock.

What does an upside stress test reveal? โ€‹

  • How fragile is my short book in a +20% market move?
  • Is my gross exposure too high relative to my equity?
  • Which short positions are the main margin call risk drivers?

Example output highlights

  • Equity now vs stressed equity, net dollar impact
  • Long vs short position impacts under upside shock
  • Gross exposure stressed + required equity heuristic
  • Margin call triggered status + top impact positions

Report 4 โ€” Sector Allocation Analysis: Is Your Diversification Real? โ€‹

A gross-aware sector allocation view (long/short compatible) that shows true sector concentration and whether your diversification is structural or just cosmetic.

What does sector allocation analysis tell you? โ€‹

  • Which sector actually dominates my portfolio risk?
  • Am I balanced โ€” or dangerously tilted toward one area?
  • Are my short positions masking real sector exposure?

Typical output

  • Top sectors by gross exposure
  • Net exposure by sector (longs vs shorts)
  • Cyclical tilt diagnostics
  • Concentration risk flags
