No. This is sort of an introduction to the most basic risk concepts. They all serve different purposes. Understanding how risk and distribution of returns work is important but I actually do not care that much about them during the development process; I don't even use real market data during that stage. Things like predictiveness of forward returns, trading costs and turnover are far more important to me when coming up with trading ideas. The risk gets controlled at position/portfolio level anyway. It's good that you start at the first posts, throughout the series, you can see how I use them to navigate my way :)
