• {{changes_made}} trades during the period
• {{market_context}} relevant conditions
• {{risk_notes}} exposures, drawdowns, hedges
• {{next_steps}} planned positioning
• {{tone_preference}} formal, conversational, or concise

Instructions

4. Explain key position changes and the reasoning.
5. Add brief market context linking conditions to decisions.
6. State current risk positioning and any limitations.
