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!

Lasagna meets beef stroganoff in this recipe. Once you find out the history behind this dish, you’ll see that it really is Husband’s Delight Casserole!

The Date: July 4th weekend, 2000
The Setting: A tiny little 2 bedroom apartment located in Southeast North Carolina.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go out to eat tonight?” Husband Man asked as he watched me slip out of my black high heel shoes.

I gave him a look of exhaustion as I walked into our tiny little bedroom. I proceeded to change out of my work clothes, into a pair of jeans and a snug t-shirt and replied:

“I had a really long day at work and the last thing I feel like doing is jumping back into the car, driving to a restaurant, and waiting an hour to eat dinner. I’d rather make something here.”

He glanced at me with a hesitant look as he answered, “Ok. Then we’ll eat dinner here. What do you feel like making?” I could sense his mind was preoccupied with something that was bugging him.

I decided not to question it and figured he would tell me if he felt comfortable enough. I smiled as I thought about what I wanted to make for dinner and said, “Your favorite! Husband’s Delight!”

As I proceeded to brown the hamburger meat and mix the spaghetti sauce, he started talking about his day….the good, the bad, and the ugly of being a Specialist in the U.S. Army. I heard it all that evening and part of me wondered if this was the reason why he looked preoccupied earlier.

Unloading about his stressful work day seemed to help, however, I noticed while we were eating that he had a nervous smile on his face. When I asked him if he was ok, he responded with, “Of course! Never been better!”

We did the dishes together then settled down in the living room to watch Everybody Loves Raymond (our favorite show back then) on tv. Half way through the show, he stands up and tells me he has to go out to his truck because he forgot something.

Not giving it a second a thought, I smiled and said, “Ok. Hurry back!” A few minutes later, he came back with that same nervous smile. This time, it was also mixed with a mischievous grin, kind of like “I know something you don’t know” type of grin.

I smiled back, not really understanding why he was acting so strange.

Before I could ask what was going on with him, he kneeled down on the floor in front of the couch, took a tiny black box out of his pocket, opened it and asked, “Will you marry me??”

Shock and happiness spread across my face as I finally realized why he was looking nervous the entire night. I, of course, said yes to his question. How could I not?

He explained minutes afterwards that his original plan was to take me out to dinner and propose then, however, he had to think of other plans because I wanted to stay at home that evening.

It’s an inside joke in our house now that he proposed to me over a plate of this yummy Husband’s Delight Casserole! The name is VERY appropriate!

This casserole is the love child of lasagna and beef stroganoff. When you think about these two dishes together, it doesn’t add up. However, somehow in this recipe, they are perfect together.

My mother found it while looking through a cookbook she purchased from a few fire fighters.

I guess she figured if it’s a recipe from a fire fighter, then it has to be good! She was correct! When I met Husband Man all those years ago, I would make this on occasion for him. It’s been with us for 17 years and we hope it will be a treasured family favorite in your collection as well!
