    Again made impulsive trades and closed not immediately.
    1-st one UAL- changed routes and terminal send selling order. Question - why I was there?
    2-nd AIG - saw tight range with good volume in at day high and pushed button to buy it. This is not my setup. This was setup from my past. Actually wrong trade.

    I don't see any indicators or higher time frame charts in your analysis. What are you using then to obtain context and general direction of issue?

    Today didn`t find any setups and decides to trade reversals - saw tight consolidation with large volumes in HLT. As I see I come home after 11-45 and can`t find good setups. Maybe I need to add some more setups including consolidations or some local levels with extra volumes.

    Idea - possible reversal on daily chart.

    Wrong trade - small potential + bad enter point. Found that there is some buying and hurried to buy it. Stop was under $82.5 but saw that buying pressure wasn`t enough to break out $82.62.
