A trader’s first responsibility is not finding opportunity.
It is understanding exposure.
Most people define exposure only in terms of price movement. Long, short, leveraged, unleveraged.

Exposure also exists in the systems surrounding the trade.
Custody exposure.
Execution exposure.
Counterparty exposure.
Access exposure.
These risks are often invisible until they become relevant.
