The problem when doing tactics trainer and chess tempo, you solve random tactics puzzle. No time to recognize tactical pattern recognition. Better study tactics books like Winning Chess Tactics by Seirawan or Learn Tactics by Nunn. You learn different tactical motiffs in each chapter. After reading one of the books, expect improvement in your tactics.

My observation is when I go over master games in my chessbase reader and play a game up next I play relatively incredible moves.
But after doing some tactics training when I play I look for tactics all over the game and even hang pieces.
So what is going on here?Does tactics trainer's really teach something or they are the test of our positional sense we already have?In chesstempo I dont see any IM,GM-s up in the rating list.
According to kramnik he go over 10k games every month(chessquote.com)
What do you think on chess intuition?How were the old master's trained when we dont had modern computer's?
