SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE DATA. Not investment advice. Do not use it for trading, orders or financial decisions.
What this example is
A project-authored synthetic energy book of six linear legs. The values were not sampled from a market, no position is real, and the P&L sample is a draw from a heavy-tailed distribution rather than an observed history. It is an example of the reporting, not evidence about any book.

not degradedsynthetic inputs
Input source: Synthetic energy book, not market data. Values are already in USD; the TTF leg was converted from EUR at 1.08 USD per EUR. Two hand-chosen shapes, neither fitted to a dated episode, neither carrying a probability, neither a forecast. Supply dislocation: European and Asian gas rise far more than North American gas, crude rises moderately, power follows gas by less. Demand collapse: every benchmark falls, crude and European gas furthest, power least.
Sign convention. Positive VaR and Expected Shortfall denote loss; a negative value denotes a gain and is not floored at zero. Stress P&L is signed, and loss is its negation, so a negative loss is a scenario the book gains in. P&L observations on the tail chart are profit-positive, which is why the VaR and ES markers sit on the negative side of that axis. Exposure market values are signed: a negative net value is a short position and is drawn on the short side of the zero line, while gross counts absolute values before any offsetting, so a share of gross is never negative.
Linear portfolio exposure
Method: signed base-currency linear position exposure. Gross counts absolute position values before offsetting; net does not. Leverage divides by the supplied NAV.

Exposure input source: Synthetic energy book, not market data. Signed market values are already translated into USD: crude and Henry Hub legs are quoted in USD; the TTF leg was converted from EUR at 1.08 USD per EUR; the JKM-linked cargo and the power forward are stated in USD. No position is an option or a spread instrument.
Method: linear full-position scenario revaluation. No probability is attached to any scenario. The stressed NAV column is the supplied NAV moved by the scenario P&L.

Tail input source: Synthetic daily P&L for the example energy book, not market data. Reproduce with numpy.random.default_rng(7).standard_t(4, 1000) * 180000, rounded to whole USD. It is a drawn sample from a heavy-tailed distribution, not an observed history, and it carries no claim about any real book. Each sample already spans the one-day horizon.
Assumptions carried from the inputs
Shocks are simple asset returns; all assets must have explicit shocks.
No probability is attached to a scenario. Derivatives and financing costs are outside this model.
Market values are signed and already translated into the stated currency.
Gross concentration uses absolute position values before offsetting; leverage divides by supplied NAV.
Positions are linear assets; derivative Greeks and counterparty netting are separate calculations.
Each P&L sample already spans the stated horizon; no square-root-of-time scaling.
Equally weighted empirical distribution; sample dependence and forecast validity are not tested.
Loss is positive; negative VaR or ES denotes a gain. Values are not floored at zero.
VaR uses skfolio's empirical order statistic; ES integrates fractional tail mass.
