What Do Hedge Funds Think of Technical Analysis?

At any rate man, continue to trade well. This conversation has just gone on too long without any value being generated. So think I'll wrap it up here on my end.
 
Hedge funds are trading the same tickers in both directions at the same time, both long and short. TA doesn't move stocks, market confidence does, so they are constantly working the direction of the overall market more than anything.

No you don’t need an isda but you do need sales coverage if you’re trading with meaningful size (10k+ shares).

What do you mean by "you need sales coverage if trading >10k shares"?
Need to phone up brokers etc to "get a good deal"?

Would you mind expanding on this?

That's 3.3333333333 years each, assuming you've been to: (1 bank x +3y) + (1 hedge fund x +3y) + (1 asset manager x +3y)

Aah. Would love to get a foot in there to see how it all works. Though I suspect I'm too old and I would be better off to leverage my >10y of software/platform eng experience in the retail/trading-on-my-own/quant-ish-maybe space :)
