Pro Tips

  1. Review trades after limit orders fill - Verify you got the price you expected

  2. Track your average entry on scaled positions - Multiple buys at different prices shift your cost basis

  3. Use trade history for tax reporting - Every buy and sell is a taxable event with a cost basis

  4. Spot patterns - Are you consistently buying high and selling low? The data will show it

  5. Compare entry price to resolution - After markets resolve, review whether your entries were well-timed

  6. Keep track of total capital deployed - Know how much of your balance is actively at risk
