Execution Rails

How to use (60 seconds)
1. Start here: follow the Action Window.
2. Sells: anything listed under Sells is the model portfolio's exit signal; you choose whether and how to follow it.
3. Buys: optional-if you open a new position, keep it small.
4. Different starting portfolio? Use sells/cash first. If you must fund a buy, rotate from your oldest or weakest non-Top-rank holding; otherwise skip the buy.
5. Sizing guide: 2.5% is about $250 per $10k, 4.5% is about $450 per $10k, 5.0% is about $500 per $10k.
6. Expect variance: signals can be early/late/wrong. Avoid all-in behavior and leverage. Judge results over a full cycle, not a single day.
