People DM me asking what it takes to be that top 5% successful day trader
I always refer to 5 dimension trading techniques, never published anywhere: Now you have it.
1st Dim: Price action 15M with volume - chart analysis, pattern recognition, trend analysis, major S/R levels
Jim's 2 books on Market profiles - must read for anybody who is serious about day-trading as well as swing trading.
Great tools to spot the large institutional trading fingerprint & intentions, combining with volume profile would pinpoint perfect intraday S/R
It would take about at least 1 year screen time to paper trade profitably before trading the real account.
So, please do not ask me about which tools are better. Actually, I have no idea.
However, I have followed #ticktool for a while, it seemed to be a good starting point
Absolutely not promoting anything, just answer some DM questions
Hint: Liquidity Moves Market
Below is an important old post about what moves the market?
We have talked about the Sentiment extremes moves market, evidenced by the extreme Fear to extreme Greed $VIX Mean Reversion strategy (see pinned posts)
The MMs, large institutions, hedge funds & speculators all trying to make the most liquidity in the market to work in their favor.
Some fading the crowd, liquidity hunting all day, fake break-outs and break-downs etc. dis/acc

I need to make one thing clear

1 Your bias, market blogs, commentaries, forums, market gurus, tweets, divergences etc CANNOT move price in any direction
2 Liquidity, sentiments & bid/ask volume made by market participants move market
3 $VIX strategy trades sentiment extremes
And what is the easiest way to find the most liquidity in the market?
1 - Major S/R levels - including trend-line, month/week/daily MP and Fib lvls.

We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi

"I really want to break into Product Management"
make products.
"If only someone would tell me how I can get a startup to notice me."
Make Products.
"I guess it's impossible and I'll never break into the industry."
MAKE PRODUCTS.
Courtesy of @edbrisson's wonderful thread on breaking into comics – https://t.co/TgNblNSCBj – here is why the same applies to Product Management, too.
There is no better way of learning the craft of product, or proving your potential to employers, than just doing it.
You do not need anybody's permission. We don't have diplomas, nor doctorates. We can barely agree on a single standard of what a Product Manager is supposed to do.
But – there is at least one blindingly obvious industry consensus – a Product Manager makes Products.
And they don't need to be kept at the exact right temperature, given endless resource, or carefully protected in order to do this.
They find their own way.
