adsv
it's not actively trading, per se
just one or two trades a day on the 10 day chart
but those are big trades, 1, 2 million shares
and the ten day chart shows a base, then a rally
and now it's coming back down
that is just what i'm looking for, actually
the base is at 5/100ths of a cent
the rally is to 12/100ths of a cent
maybe i can buy it at .0005 on monday
a $100 purchase would be 200,000 shares

trading a little
a look at the 2 year chart shows a complete pattern
i wonder if the last two (or was it 3) had complete patterns in the daily charts?
but checking that takes so long
and, who care is they do?
i'd still have to wait days to see results in trades
i'm too impatient for that
what if i can find intraday charts with vibrant patterns?
will i see some, if i keep working on this list?

i want to look at examples of very recent sharp rallies, with lots of trading
let's see if i can set up a scan for that

i'm looking at an example of a foot, a wide double low, followed by a steep little rally. can i put this chart somewhere where it'll be useful to me in the future?
i put it in a new folder, examplesofbottoms, and named it 000001.

food ...
Though my life is quite scary, I return, at intervals during the day, to a kind of bedrock in food. My life may be barely holding together, maybe, but I can have a very civilized meal.
There's a certain art in putting that together. I'm not saying I'm such a master, I'm not saying it's the only way, it's just the way I'm approaching it ... and it gives me a sensation of having succeeded.
I'm not even saying I completely succeed. There were some flaws in the meal we just had. I see evidence of people doing better. But, I partly succeeded. I can record the merits of the meal, and its shortcomings.
We had bagels and lox for breakfast. Except, I neglected to buy bagels. Instead, I bought rolls. So we had rolls and lox, or, as the girl said, lox and rolls, baby.
The rolls was a part I got right, though. So, OK, I'm out on errands the other day, and I'm at the starbucks on, what is it, 56th and ray?, and there's a fancy grocery there, so I decide to go in for a couple of things. I asked the guy at the bakery counter (who hates my guts) to put four rolls in a paper bag for me. $1.45, or something.
So, what's right about that is, they're rolls, simple, straight up, bakery baked crusty rolls ... and they've never been touched by anything made of plastic. They came home in a paper sack. That is proper.
True, the fancy food store uses a heavy sack, which is heavy on paper, heavy on pulp, heavy on the forest. In my ideal world, my fantasy world, maybe they'd use a very light sack for something like rolls ... or ask if I've got my own. I do have my own sacks, and I use them over and over. I'm talking about paper bags, here. There's a funny thing about that: while plastic bags get slimy, and you have to wash them, the paper in a paper bag kind of absorbs the oils and whatever from the food, and becomes like an oiled paper ... remaining basically, and profoundly, clean and nice.
In my fantasy world, we have delis that ask if you brought your own bags. They ask if you brought your own paper sacks for baked goods.
By the way, sometimes a bag gets sticky or otherwise too grody stuff on it. Then it goes in the compost. And, by the way, a light bag would be easier to compost than a heavy one is. But, a heavy one is literally infinitely better than a plastic bag.
Next, I went to the deli counter, and got lox. But they only had plastic bags. Drat. Maybe I can bring my own paper bag, next time. Then they'll truly hate me! (I can also go to the real deli, where they do wrap the lox in paper. I should do that. But it's a bit out of the way. In my fantasy world, there's a real deli just up the street. I can walk there, and get everything, bagels, lox, cream cheese, sliced vegetables, all wrapped in paper.)
The thing is, I'm out on errands, and, though I don't really want to go into a store, the store is there, so I'm thinking, "what can I do, that's just a little thing, but it makes a contribution. I'll get some baked goods, and some lox." And, as a result of taking that small step, we had lox and eggs yesterday, and lox and rolls today.
I bought the cream cheese a couple of weeks ago. I don't go to Trader Joe's very much, any more, even though I love them, because everything is in plastic. But I decided to try their cream cheese. It's in a box, but, inside, the wrapper is aluminized plastic. Yuk. Very disappointing.
So, that's my imperfect pantry for the morning. Proper rolls, improper lox (but nice, in paper inside its plastic bag), and improper cream cheese - but at least I have it. I got up first, this Saturday morning, and got some stuff together. Put the lox on fresh parchment paper on a plate, and back in the fridge, made a pot of tea, washed the table on the gazebo, and put the salt and pepper out there.
See, there's proper and not proper for something simple like making tea, even, and for washing the table, and for salt and pepper. I boil the water in a simple, stainless kettle, a classic form, out of Arabia, or India. Now whistle ... you've just got to watch it. Then I make the tea in a Chinese pot that we've had for ever, and drink it from a cup with a saucer ...

I'm saving charts for what could be called more conservative stocks ... mostly because the prices are higher ... I don't put a lot of stock in that, no pun intended. But the charts are more normal.
I'm placing complete emphasis on saving the charts. I've been experimenting continuously with methods for that. My latest insight is that the charts are valuable only if I review them regularly. I'm combining the functions of saving charts and maintaining a list of stocks to watch. Charts are saved as image files in a folder, named 1, 2, 3, etc., in the order they are saved, with symbol and date now added to the chart itself. Every chart reviewed is saved. When I review them, I'll assess whether I need the latest data, chart by chart. If I do, I'll go to the web for it.
Most of the stocks I'm looking at are in some kind of buying position. It's not surprising, because the screen is for stocks that are down. But just being down, and likely to go up, is not enough. A true fast method requires that the stock be ready to go up immediately. I'm not sure that any of the stocks I looked at today (30 of them) are actually in that position, but a few of them are nearly so.

product ... !
I finally have something for sale at the web site!
I can't entirely recommend it, until I've tested it, as explained. I have no question it's a lovely product ... maybe, even, in it's own way, economical ... it's just that the goal is to buy plastic free products, and I won't know if it's plastic free until the box I ordered yesterday arrives.
This post is about process, about getting things done, how I do it, as a person who struggles with that.
I had the goal in mind, for weeks, of posting product links. I wasn't getting links posted, so I revised the goal to posting a link. The other day, I got the code for a link, just saved it in a file. Yesterday, I just did it, just posted it. Suddenly, it was just easy enough to get it done ... not easy, but just easy enough. I used some of what I've been developing, design-wise, building other kinds of pages.

I'm engaged in a very, very slow process of saving charts. Each saved chart takes many minutes, but the result is, or feels, hugely productive, because I'm saving them in a way that will make them very usefully accessible.
It has to do with that system I was writing about a while back, of creating categories. I'm now putting each saved chart in some very specific group, carefully linked in with the other members of that group. What it looks like I'm developing is a reference tool, which will allow me, when I see a pattern, to inspect all similar patterns I've seen (or recorded) before.
This catalog is built with html, and css. Another iteration of it is at atempenote.

how i can ...
This project of getting things to happen by writing on the blog is going a bit slower than I'd like. Here's an obvious notion: let me try applying the method.
How can I accelerate my work with this method, dear Angel of the Magic of Words?
Well, what is it I want to get done? I want my web site to fill up faster, and be very interesting to visit. I want, also, to get out and run some errands. Oh, I want to have neater hair. I want work done on the house, and to get work done on the house. I want powerful access to CAD. I want an active social life. I want to write about travel.
I'm completely satisfied with this list! It's something to work from. In that sense (and maybe not that sense alone) it feels powerful. I was going to write about how my feeling is this them can't go too far, for reasons I won't even discuss. But I wasn't going to give that feeling too much authority. I was going to persist, regardless.

OK, here's a new statement of purpose for the blog.
The purpose of the blog is to discuss making the human world a green, natural, harmonious world using business methods.

That may be the last of that kind of post, where I'm listing stocks and trying to keep track of the research, here.
I've been setting up a container theory web site on the hard drive, for recording research results and trades. It's working perfectly. I can display charts, with notes, just the way I want.
I have to do that on the hard drive, not on line, because I don't have the rights to the charts. I just need it for my own reference, though. (If I get to publish it, someday, maybe I can get permission to use the charts.)
It's time to move on. Doing just this stocks stuff is, as noted, embarrassing.

this is good!
I might not be able to execute a trade, today, but this is good. I'll know in a couple of days, I think, whether my analysis is correct. There's constant active trading in the stock. And I have two of them on my list, after only going through a little of it.

probably shouldn't, but the idea is to reserve this for the down 50 in 4 list
and make notesalphabetically - color coded

wow, it's another good one, heat
cnr, a cool down wave, really fast, but thinly traded
ccme, another great down wave, with a foot, and steady trading
cnwd, nothing

this is a classic day trading situation, i think
