Trong bài viết này, tôi sẽ chia sẻ kinh nghiệm thực chiến khi xây dựng mô hình Value at Risk (VaR) cho danh mục crypto sử dụng phương pháp Historical Simulation. Đây là phương pháp được áp dụng rộng rãi tại các quỹ đầu cơ và sàn giao dịch lớn bởi tính đơn giản nhưng hiệu quả cao.

Tôi đã triển khai kiến trúc này cho 3 quỹ crypto tại Việt Nam và khu vực Đông Nam Á, xử lý hơn 50 triệu data points mỗi ngày. Bài viết sẽ đi sâu vào code production, optimization và những lỗi phổ biến cần tránh.
