anyway. i think today was a decent day. as much as i want to get involved in those crazy moving stocks, i think it is best for me not too. i don't know how to trade them well. what i think i can do well, is find the stocks that are moving each day. now, i just need to hone in on the trenders. i really like the setups on the 15min chart and i love how it slows everything down. sometimes, i do make an entry from the 5 minute chart, but i get a anxious about it. like i think i am just going to be chopped around. even the crazier mover had a great doji on the 15.

what i also  noticed is, with the doji type candles, i may have to change my "doji" rule of waiting for it to break the high.that works on the 5 minute but maybe not the 15.  i may have enter/exit after it breaks the open/close of the previous candle because waiting for the stock to top over the wick would give way to much risk for me. 

for the music, i can't stop listening to this guy. he is coming to scottsdale while i will be away. the "venue" where the recording takes place is strange. it seems to be some type of interactive concert over the internet. but the recording and sound is stellar.
