Then I look for any stock that has more than 10 blocks that size or larger
within a 20 minute period.

what stocks are breaking out.

checked the alarm and up came VIDA. Earlier this week I had set the alarm
that if this stock broke $5.00 to look at it. I then checked my message
board and found a message from a trading buddy that said " Hey buy VIDA " .
This was sent 1/2 hour before the market closed. I most likely wil buy it at
the opening unless to many of you guys out there run it up at the opening.
