What you say may work for you, and if so, I applaud you for sharing your method....but to say with certainty that an expert will see such-and-such is, in my view, an incorrect conclusion.
With respect, you may see seven clear trades on a chart, someone else may see 3, someone else might see 5, and someone else might see 1 or none at all. I look at your chart and think "too much information" and it's not a chart I would use. But that's just me, and I probably 'read' the markets differently than you, and vice-versa. That's how it should be!
Each of us needs to be an "expert" in our own system/style/method/timeframe of trading -- what works comfortably for you may not work for me or someone else.
The only things that make an 'expert' trader in my view are their ability to read the markets, execute controlled trades, and appropriately control risks once in a position. How they do that, and what tools/techniques they use, is entirely up to them -- they're neither right or wrong, just different.

I was going to imply something like this, but:
10,000 hours in front of the screen, price/volume analysis, and some automation may get you there.
It's that simple.
