Threshold rebalancing

Returning to target weights only once a class has left its allowed band: the trigger is the size of the drift, not the arrival of a date.

It caps the deviation rather than the time between trades: the portfolio cannot wander further from plan than the band allows, however long a rally lasts.

When the metric lies
