Solid Returns- What would you do

I've averaged about 2-3% trading equities and options over the past 22 months. I'm 34, work in an unrelated field in sales.

My strategy revolves around holdings that last 3 to 50 days, and are very consistent. I've spent 8000 hours and was not very good when I started trading, but never stopped learning and now I am consistent.

Curious on what you would do or what I should do?

My account size is in the low 6 figures, so I am not trading a 3k account.

Any advice would be appreciated.
