Watch out for

API rate limits can block the run so implement exponential backoff or caching strategies to stay within quota.
Timezone mismatches between Indian and US market hours may cause missed data so explicitly define trading windows in your schedule.
Telegram bot tokens must be kept secret so store them as environment variables rather than hardcoding them in the workflow.
Google Sheets API quotas can be exceeded by frequent writes so batch updates or reduce write frequency to avoid throttling.
