    A daytrader poll … do you trade the Opening Gap?

    Do you mean opg orders? I used to do them based on morning indications but that racket has almost completly dried up.

    Would you fund a trader to help him out?

    I may be able to help or possibly direct you to one of several private firms that may fund you if what you say checks outs. However, I do have some skepticism about your claim of 16,000 hours of logged hours into the craft of trading by the age of 22. Even if you spent 12 hours of a day of...

    TA can't predict that a large order will be placed now and not in 15 min, 1 hour, etc

    TA in conjunction with volume, reading the tape, major levels can be very profitable when used correctly in a proper risk reward setting by a trader however most don't survive long enough to understand this.
