AI Feedback Engine
Your win rate drops to 41% when using SMT as the sole confluence — always combine with BOS or FVG.
Setups rated below 3 stars have only a 28% win rate. Consider sitting out low-confidence setups entirely.
Best session: NY open 09:30–10:30 EST — 78% win rate, 3.2R average. Prioritize this window.
Emotional pattern: trades taken while "anxious" have a 52% loss rate. Review your pre-trade routine.

Why this matters: Most general CPAs don't understand prop firm payout structures, Trader Tax Status elections, or Section 1256 contracts. The wrong advisor can cost you thousands in missed deductions — or worse, trigger an audit. These specialists speak your language.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU FILE
🏛️
Prop payouts are 1099 income
Prop firms typically issue a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC. This is self-employment income — you'll owe SE tax on top of income tax unless structured through an entity.
📋
Trader Tax Status (TTS) matters
If you qualify as a trader (not investor) with the IRS, you can deduct business expenses on Schedule C and potentially elect Mark-to-Market accounting — a significant tax advantage.
🧾
Keep every expense receipt
Your NQVault expense log is your starting point. Prop account fees, subscriptions, equipment, education, and home office are all potentially deductible. Your CPA needs documentation.
