The Core Strategy Explained: Asset allocation means spreading capital across different futures contracts or related assets. Instead of putting all funds into one symbol you split the exposure. This reduces the need to watch every tiny move. When the market is sideways the spread keeps you from overreacting. Because the plan is set ahead of time you can stick to it even when emotions rise. The weekly horizon lets you review results without daily pressure. (2/4)

Your Trading How-To Guide:
1. List the futures contracts you actually trade.
2. Assign a fixed percentage of your capital to each based on correlation and liquidity.
3. Set a maximum weekly loss limit that matches your moderate risk profile.
4. Only add a new position after the current mix reaches a pre defined balance point.
5. Record every impulse trigger in a simple log and review at week end. (3/4)

Risk Management Notes: Keep position sizes small enough that a single loss does not upset the overall allocation. Use stop orders that respect the weekly swing trading rhythm.

Concluding Thought: This approach lets you trade with discipline while the market moves sideways.
