Football history

March 17, 2006

is in the making, or at least it will be for the romanians… our two teams qualified in UEFA Cup quarter final s are playing eachother..
so on 30.04 Rapid Buc. will host Steaua Buc.,

i remember last few years when i saw spanish or english clubs meeting in an european competition i only dreamed about the moment when two romanians clubs will do the same; and now that moment is here.

this is why football is no. 1 sport in the world.

One of those days

March 16, 2006

..well it was yesterday one very good day for the romanian football, and for Rapid Buc. especially, they managed to secure their place in UEFA Cup quarter finals after a hard match away at Hamburg SV. At home Rapid won 2-0 and everyone was pretty confident about the qualification but the germans wanted to have the last word and so they did, they won 3-1 after leading 2-0 at half time but Rapid goes further because of the away goal.

Tonite the other romanian team in the competition Steaua is playing at Betis Seville after 0-0 in the first match, we’ll see how that goes; but to have 2 teams already this far in an european competition is proof enough that romanian football is heading in the right direction..pretty soon we’ll have two in the Champions League hopefully, altho’ we haven’t played in the CL groups for quite some time now.

added the usdjpy to the mix and considering removing the gbp crosses, the spread is just to high for a 10 pip target

10 pip set and forget

March 1, 2006

For some time now i’m toying with the ideea of set and forgett orders and i’m ready to give it a go. going to start with 10 pip targets and an equal SL on euro/usd, gbp/usd, usd/chf, gbb/chf and gbp/jpy….i guess i could try more pairs bur 5 are enough for now.

This is how is going to happen: every day at around 8-8.30 GMT will post 1 buy and one sell on every pair, ocasionaly will do the same for the US session.
Just to be clear i’d like to say that i didn’t come up with this system and for now is just something under tests we’ll see how the results stack up and decide after if it’s something worth trading real $$$.
