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!

Spinach and Gruyere Cheese Quiche with a Hash Brown Crust



Spinach and Gruyere Cheese Quiche with a Hash Brown Crust

Eggs, spinach, onions and peppers and nutty glorious Gruyere cheese all nestled in a hash brown crust. What’s not to like?
There is no need to feel guilty slicing into this no matter how beautiful it is. I used 6 egg whites and 4 eggs to cut down on the cholesterol which let me add some cheese into this. If I had used all eggs I would have omitted the cheese but Gruyere cheese pairs perfectly with spinach and I really wanted it in this quiche.

It’s fairly simple to make this crust too.
First, grab yourself a springform pan. Pour a tiny bit of oil and brush is around and then line it with parchment paper and grease the top of the paper too.


2. Next you want to get all those glorious hashbrowns partially cooked through so they are crispy and not soggy.

Tip! You can use real potatoes or frozen hash browns for the crust. Either way, you’ll want to make sure they are completely thawed and then s-q-u-e-e-z-e out any moisture that’s in the potatoes. Don’t skip this step or you’ll have a soggy mess.

Then just push them in the pan and up the sides.


3. Get that in a preheated oven at 350 for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes look crispy.

4. As that’s cooking, grab a small sauté pan and cook the onions, peppers and garlic over low heat for about 8-10 minutes or until they are soft. Add an entire container of spinach, yes the whole thing, because as it wilts it cooks down to almost nothing.


5. While that is cooling on the stove, mix up your eggs, Canadian bacon, milk, salt and pepper and cheese in a bowl. Add the cooled veggies and pour it all into your hash brown crust.


6. Bake it in a preheated oven at 350 for 45 min.


7. And you end up with this B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L quiche!!
