Maintain meticulous records of all trades, expenses, and income to facilitate accurate tax filings. Implement robust risk management protocols to handle larger position sizes and market volatility. Diversify across instruments and timeframes to reduce dependency on single strategies. Allocate capital efficiently between trading, research, and technology infrastructure.
