My 5 minute mental snapshot during the trading day waiting for the setup

My 5 minute mental snapshot during the trading day waiting for the setup

...
I wonder what they are saying on ET
What time is it in Singapore/dubai/Buenos aires/Hawaii right now
Look at yesterday’s head and shoulders formation
That time frame is telling me up but this one is kind of telling down – but wait – there is an up signal forming on it – not perfect – but maybe its good
I wish my girlfriend would stop making so much mental noise because of me ignoring her at this time of the day
Bored – ill check my email
Maybe Bernanke is talking again later that I don’t know about and this is not a good time to be looking for a signal
I’m hungry – wonder what’s for breakfast
Why do I feel so tired
Wait the 5 minute is starting to get back into confluence and price is moving fast
Relax, deep breath, focus – the market is always telling what is happening
Look at that inverted head and shoulders on the one minute- maybe I shouldn’t have ignored it
Focus on breath to eliminate this mental chatter and let in the market data.
That 5 minute chart still doesn’t want to give me a nice pattern
Got out of bed late and missed that 30 pip move this morning
Wonder what’s for lunch
Why is grob so quiet these days?
Maybe I should trade gold instead – I picked the days low yesterday and it’s really moving these days.
-Then a minute of total concentration-
No sugar in my coffee there…and make it a half cup cause i've already had one.
Where am I going to go out tonight?
Two hours and price isn’t going anywhere
Now I’m starting to think it’s either going down again – or its going to happen in 3 or 4 hours time
I wonder if I can map the ebs and flows of mental chatter like I map price on an indicator.

If it's the NZD you are talking about my 5 min mental set up is............ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
 
NZD is just a joke - sKaLpZy where are you?
1 or 2 Yen trades in the morning, 1 or 3 Swissy trades in the afternoon/evening/night/early morning.
