To stay within the 3.0x gross leverage cap and the max 2 trades/run constraint, rotate out of MLCO (which has already materially mean-reverted and is a natural profit-take) and redeploy a fixed $3k unit into ZS, the most oversold/high-conviction candidate for a 2–10 day rebound. All other positions are held due to lack of new risk information and to minimize churn."
