It looks like M&M's melted on the screen.
I commend you for journaling. I actually journal all the Cl journals from nexusfi.com (formerly BMT).
This site is nice for pulling out little tidbits of info to use.
Good luck RH

I got a good laugh out that. It's hard for me to see it that way, but, if I step back, I suppose my 5 min. chart looks like a big colorful mess. Actually, everyone of those colors are in-grained in my brain and they each mean something to me. So, here's my sequence: On the 800 tick chart I am continually updating support and resistance using trendlines (horizontal and sloping), fib retracements, and symmetry projections (as best I can from being in CB's room years ago). This keeps me pretty active all by itself. Once price approaches a zone that I'm interested in, then I need to assimilate a significant amount of contextual information pretty much at a glance, and for me, that means bold colors on the daily, 30 min. and 5 min chart. If I like the context, I switch, for lack of a better term, brain modes and get into trading mode. From reading Vance and Panda, I've become a price action convert and I've still got a lot to learn in that area, but I do that from a full screen clean chart, no indies, not even an moving average, just candles. That's where I am right now, always a work in progress. Attaching a chart for the open:
