It's possible to trade profitably on the Forex, the nearly $2 trillion worldwide currency exchange market. But the odds are against you, even more so if you don't prepare and plan your trades. According to a 2014 Bloomberg report, several analyses of retail Forex trading, including one by the National Futures Association (NFA), the industry's regulatory body, concluded that more than two out of three Forex traders lose money. This suggests that self-education and caution are recommended. Here are some approaches that may improve your odds of taking a profit. Prepare Before You Begin Trading Because the Forex market is highly leveraged -- as much as 50 to 1 -- it can have the same appeal as buying a lottery ticket: some small chance of making a killing. This, however, isn't trading; it's gambling, with the odds long against you. A better way of entering the Forex market is to carefully prepare. Beginning with a practice account is helpful and risk-free. While you're trading in your practice account, read the most frequently recommended Forex trading books, among them Currency Forecasting: A Guide to Fundamental and Technical Models of Exchange Rate Determination, by Michael R. Rosenberg is short, not too sweet and highly admired introduction to the Forex market. Forex Strategies: Best Forex Strategies for High Profits and Reduced Risk, by Matthew Maybury is an excellent introduction to Forex trading. The Little Book of Currency Trading: How to Make Big Profits in the World of Forex, by Kathy Lien is another concise introduction that has stood the test of time. All three are available on Amazon. Rosenberg's book, unfortunately, is pricey, but it's widely available in public libraries. "Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude," by Mark Douglas is another good book that's available on Amazon, and, again, somewhat pricey, although the Kindle edition is not. Use the information gained from your reading to plan your trades before plunging in. The more you change your plan, the more you end up in trouble and the less likely that elusive forex profit will end up in your pocket. Diversify and Limit Your Risks Two strategies that belong in every trader's arsenal are: Diversification: Traders who execute many small traders, particularly in different markets where the correlation between markets is low, have a better chance of making a profit. Putting all your money in one big trade is always a bad idea. Familiarize yourself with ways guaranteeing a profit on an already profitable order, such as a trailing stop, and of limiting losses using stop and limit orders. These strategies and more are covered in the recommended books. Novice traders often make the mistake of concentrating on how to win; it's even more important to understand how to limit your losses. Be Patient Forex traders, particularly beginners, are prone to getting nervous if a trade does not go their way immediately, or if the trade goes into a little profit they get itchy to pull the plug and walk away with a small profit that could have been a significant profit with little downside risk using appropriate risk reduction strategies. In "On Any Given Sunday," Al Pacino reminds us that "football is a game of inches." That's a winning attitude in the Forex market as well. Remember that you are going to win some trades and lose others. Take satisfaction in the accumulation of a few more wins than losses. Over time, that could make you rich!

You’re going to love this easy zucchini casserole! Deliciously cheesy, low in carbs and keto friendly, this zucchini bake makes a wonderful summer side dish that even the kids will love. A great way to use up that bounty of summer squash.

You have to laugh, because this zucchini casserole recipe was born of absolute necessity. The necessity of having too much zucchini and not enough ideas of what to do with it! My fellow gardeners, does this happen to you too? Right around this time every year, I start drowning in the long green summer squash. Every year, I have one monster plant that produces and produces and produces. And beside it is a smaller plant that produces and produces and produces. Within the past 2 days, I have harvest 7 large zucchini and I am passing them out to strangers on the street. I am not kidding. Sometimes I leave a box of them on the street corner and by late afternoon, they are all gone.


Things grow big here in Oregon. It’s quite remarkable, really – coming from the east, where things grow rather grudgingly, it blows my mind to watch my garden explode here every year. And we have these gorgeous raised beds in a prime full sun position. The zucchini plants love it and they get so large, I get a little worried they are going to devour my house. I always tell my husband we should plant only one but we end up planting a few zucchini starts in the spring, just in case. And then my sweet, soft-hearted husband can’t bear to pull up a plant that’s doing well. So every year, like clockwork, we drown in zucchini.


Which means I need to up my low carb zucchini recipes game, friends. I have so much to use and not enough ideas to use it all. It was time to create a delicious zucchini side dish that everyone would eat. Because my kiddos are not huge zucchini lovers, I needed a dish that would make everyone happy. This easy and cheesy zucchini casserole is just that dish. The flavor and texture are wonderful and it uses up 2 medium zucchini. Which isn’t nearly enough, but it’s a start!


HOW TO MAKE ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then each half again lengthwise. Chop the quartered zucchini into 1/2 inch slices.
Lightly boil the zucchini before draining. This helps it release excess moisture so your casserole isn’t soupy. It also helps pre-cook it a bit so the casserole is tender.
Drain the zucchini well. It still requires this step and I let mine drain in a colander in the sink for about 15 minutes.
Don’t squeeze the zucchini out. It won’t need it after boiling and draining. You want the pieces of zucchini to hold their shape.
Layer the zucchini in a greased baking pan and pour the eggs, cream, and cheese mixture over top. It will work its way down into the bottom of the pan and bind the casserole together.
Sprinkle the top with more cheese and crushed pork rinds for a delicious cheesy crust. Bake at 350F until bubbly and browned.


I honestly can’t believe how good this is. When this zucchini casserole was baking, my mouth was watering from the delicious smells emanating from my kitchen. It was hard to wait until the rest of the family was home to dig in. To be honest, I didn’t. I snuck a few bites as I was getting photos. It was melt in your mouth delicious!

This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd. Just use a 9×13 pan and enjoy!
