Part 3

The Long/Short Game: Portfolio Construction

In this third part, you'll assemble everything into a functioning long/short portfolio. We'll work through the tools needed to manage gross, net, Beta, and sector exposure simultaneously, then tackle asset allocation — combining strategies with opposite payoff profiles to build a smooth, compounding equity curve. The part closes with an AI-powered trading journal that surfaces the subconscious beliefs driving your decisions and turns self-awareness into edge.

This part of the book includes the following chapter:

• Chapter 8, The Long/Short Toolbox
• Chapter 9, Asset Allocation
• Chapter 10, The Trading Journal
