    Are you good at price action and technical analysis?

    How much to buy? How much to risk? What timeframe? There are hundreds of nuances. You are insulting your own accomplishments by saying it’s as simple as that.

    Are you good at price action and technical analysis?

    Absolutely NOT what I am saying. What I am saying is that saying “KISS” does not explain what edge you have developed over the years. It’s very frustrating to struggling traders to hear “it’s simple - it’s all in the chart” and then not to provide any specifics. There is a thread by @volpri...

    Are you good at price action and technical analysis?

    What kind of stock it is (low float, industry, etc) Why is it moving? What’s the overall market sentiment? How’s level2 and TnS behaving? What’s the time of day? Where is it trading in relation to intra-day and daily pivots?

    Is There a Resource Showing Source of Daily Trades?

    Nasdaq has some service. They claim they make determination based on the publicly available data. I don't think I would trust this, but that's the closest I've found to resemble what you are looking for...

    Its the other way around. McD will take you no matter what. But any reputable employer will be glad to listen to your ideas AFTER you have proven they worked (with exception of college grads). Look at OPs quote regarding hiring educators, why would employers not require the same? Unless they...
