Frank,
I checked historical prices for R8. The vols posted by traders seem too high.
This causes
high VAR numbers.

Frank,
portfolio POWER-NW-LT includes subportfolios EPMI-LT-NW-PR1 and
EPMI-LT-NW-EX1.
The last one has VAR about 29M but when I look at the component VAR for
POWER-NW-LT
there is no VAR corresponding to EPMI-LT-NW-EX1.

This is probably irrelevant to the question we need to resolve: why
backtesting for POWER-NW-LT
does not look that good. Did you check that the prices behavior corresponds
to high vols traders post?
