Are you good at price action and technical analysis?

Please take my quiz. I'm looking to collect data on what the average hit rate looks like for PA and technical traders:

It's a basic quiz with charts... T stands for trading day. It's not super robust and is only 15 questions, but it's the start of a larger analysis I'm conducting.

Not sharing data with anyone, nor will I be spamming you. Email is to limit quiz to 1 participant. I'll publish the findings on this thread. Thank you!

Current average: ~27%

if you did not use time based charts i could take the test. this perfectly illustrates the fallacy of injecting time into a dynamic data series. what does time have to do with anything, it's the price you trade.

do you mean a non-candle? what kind of chart do you use? i can build a quiz off of that too.

I don't mind the time based charts but I'd like to see volume and a couple more time frames.
5 minute chart is noise.

He means a non-time-based bar, such as tick, range or renko. A bar that does not change because of a fixed-time interval.

would love to get people to take the quiz just to collect data on what the average hit rate looks like on a 5-min basis. can do additional quizzes after with feedback from respondents

It would only be a wild assed guess. I have no idea what is going to happen in the next 5 minutes.
I use price action or TA to look for repeating patterns to determin if I will take a trade. Without seeing volume or more info (higher time frame) I can't make that decision. Maybe some of the day traders can.

Kase Range bars - there are several ways to build them. I use fixed point size so every bar is the same size and represents a range of trading action like 5 points on ES regardless of how long it takes to form the bar. i trade almost every bar long short or trend. typical time in trade 1-120 seconds.
