sexy trading geez.. you got this bet.

Thank you Nuke,
My goal was to be at 15k by the end of the first quarter (May 1st), but that may be alittle hard now. We'll see.
Last week I was trading from Las Vegas and I traded too much (I think it's that Vegas air, causes you to gamble).

Hopefully this week I can go back to my regular standards for entries.

I use to trade DIA,SPY.IWM etc. Nowadays
I trade BGU (3XSPY).TNA (3XIWM) QLD (NDX100 X3) .Better bang for the buxk! But have to watch DIA SPY for support /resistance.
