Sales interview for BB - no technicals after 5 rounds of interviews. Is this normal?

I had an interview for sales & trading after being referred by a trader at the bank. I had a phone interview, passed that, then brought in for a 3 hour superday. none of my interviews had technicals... (the most technical being my view on the market).

Is this normal?

Even in my SA interviews I got tons of brainteasers.

My interview went pretty well, but how do you tell when someone is being just nice, versus there's a click and you're gonna get the job?
