More experienced traders, what's your take on the use of risk management tools?

Hi Thread, Relatively new to Reddit but find the platform fascinating for insights. Me and my friend, we work in financial services, brokerage and prop trading, in the risk department. We do some trading of our own, and having spent time with relatively novice daytraders and the more sophisticated trade shops, it became clear that risk management or use of risk concepts differs much across the trader community. We were wondering how many of you up here are familiar with concepts of Market Neutral Strategies and to start, for exampe with VaR concepts at portfolio level, and how useful you may find this in your own trading. On my profile there is a link to a medium article we wrote recently on it. We also created a paper on a VaR model and put togther an api for it. As per the policy on this blog, not trying to sell anything. Just curious of your opninion. For full transparency we are trying to see if there is any demand in there for a simple product in this field.
