3rd, how you size your bets in relation to how certain you are about direction isn't really covered by technical analysis.
4th) the key insight to fundamental analysis; that a dollar is still worth a dollar regardless of whether you pay 40c, 50c, or w/e, doesn't apply to trading, because timing matters greatly. This is why you'll want to look into standardizing your volatilities.
