Baits cut too early Thursday

General notes
As the title suggest I was cutting my baits (both CMI and PCAR) too early, as I was rushing out of office and had a quite stressful day at the office. Ok, these are just excuses. But the learning point is that I better not make a trade when I am not in the right mood.

Filtered Trade Candidates for the Day
GAPHV: SCHN (best of the crop nice light pull-back turned already nourth, good if volume arrives) CENX (nice turn around) TEF (nice volume spike at NH) AL (light sliding) BHP (earlier trade in pull-back mood) CROX (light sliding) PCLN (light sliding)
