Keep a Rebalance Decision Journal
Store the reason, action, and expected result for each rebalance. This journal helps you audit decision quality over time and improves future execution.
Review Outcomes Monthly
Each month, compare your expected outcome with reality. If your rules create unnecessary trades, widen thresholds. If risk still concentrates, tighten thresholds.
FAQ
What is a practical drift threshold?
Many portfolios use a 2 to 3 percentage-point drift from target before rebalancing.
Should I rebalance on every big gold move?
No. Rebalance on rule triggers, not on each large daily move.
