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!

CHEESY ZUCCHINI CHICKEN CASSEROLE



CHEESY ZUCCHINI CHICKEN CASSEROLE

GOT ZUCCHINI? MAKE THIS CHEESY ZUCCHINI CHICKEN CASSEROLE FOR DINNER TONIGHT! YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS LOW CARB AND KETO DISH!


Zucchini is in the top five on my favorite vegetables list. I love zucchini in the summer, since it seems to be everywhere. Last night, I needed to use up a bunch of zucchini and I figured I’d make a casserole. Casseroles are awesome for weeknights, because you can throw it all together and bake it.
I ALWAYS HAVE SHREDDED CHICKEN READY TO GO IN THE FRIDGE, TO EASILY ADD TO SALADS AND DISHES JUST LIKE THIS! SEE HOW I PREPARE IT HERE.
PRE COOK AND DRAIN THE ZUCCHINI


Ok, the zucchini needed a little prep before being added to the casserole. Zucchini gets super SUPER watery when baked and it can ruin a casserole. So the zucchini has to be slightly cooked and drained before being added to the casserole.

The easiest way to do this is to steam it for a few minutes and then let it drain for about 15 minutes. Put the water in the pot, add zucchini to the steamer. Once the water starts boiling turn off the heat and let it sit for three minutes. Then remove the steamer and let it drain for 15 minutes. At that point your zucchini will be partially cooked an much of the water will be released.


In a separate bowl, mix together cream cheese, eggs and salt and pepper. Once that is combined stir in onions, cheeses and chicken.


In a greased casserole dish, layer the zucchini on the bottom and pour the chicken and cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle on a little more cheese and bake at 350F for 35 – 40 minutes.


This cheesy zucchini chicken casserole is so delicious! It might be the only way I can get my kiddos to eat zucchini!
