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!

ONE-POT BEEF STROGANOFF SOUP

ONE-POT BEEF STROGANOFF SOUP
Classic beef stroganoff is transformed into a hearty, yet light soup. And no need to cook the noodles first, because it’s all made in one pot. Easy weeknight dinner!
Well, my kids were in shorts again this past weekend. I knew I shouldn’t have traded out their summer clothes for pants and sweaters yet. When will I learn? *throws hands up*
But in that full week of rain and cooler temperatures, I went on a soup binge. Some old. And some new…like this one!

There’s a fantastic beef stroganoff recipe in my cookbook that is from my childhood. I adapted that in combination with a BHG soup that inspired me. It turned out wonderfully. And bonus – it’s all done in one pot! No need to cook the noodles first. Huzzah!
We’re so in-love. I’m making this one all winter long!

Course: Soup
Servings: 6

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound beef sirloin , trimmed of fat, thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 ounces sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 1 medium sweet onion , diced
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 cups low-sodium chicken or beef stock
  • 1 1/2 cups dried egg noodles
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • chopped fresh parsley
Directions
  1. In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the meat with some salt and pepper to taste; add to the pot and cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat to a bowl; keep warm.
  2. Add in the mushrooms, onion, and garlic; saute until the vegetables have softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce. Pour in the chicken (or beef) stock and bring to a boil. Add in the noodles. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until al dente.
  3. In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine the sour cream and flour. Whisk in 1 cup of the hot soup; pour mixture back into the pot. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes to thicken. Add cooked meat back to the pot and heat through. Taste, and adjust seasoning with a little more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  4. Serve in individual bowls with some fresh chopped parsley.
