Hello lyhung,

Well that is a very deep philosophical question ... are you a 
philosopher by nature ... if not a complete answer would be wasted?

In trading, everything that can cause financial loss is a risk to be 
considered:

- data delay or errors
- broker slippage
- insider manipulation
- events (earnings change, company news etc)
- computer/internet 'error'
- incorrect strategy
- anlytical error 
- correlation
- psychological error
- portfolio diversification
- and many more

All need to be considered and emlinated or contained.

Your capacity to identify and control risk is a measure of your 
trading stature.

Much of that has to be done outside of AB.

However you probably would like a simple definition.

It is your ave loss per trade (based on your stop loss) * the 
probability of losing per trade i.e. if you have a guaranteed stop 
loss of 2% then that is your risk per trade AND the risk to your 
portfolio is based on the probality that you will experience a run of 
losses.
