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!

Baked Salmon Bites

Baked Salmon Bites
These baked salmon bites are my first of what I hope to be a series of kid-friendly / family-friendly fish recipes. I started so well with fish and my little ones and have then fallen somewhat off the bandwagon, but I’m trying to get right back on it as fish is so good for adults and kids alike, particularly oily fish like I’ve used in my baked salmon bites.
As far as fish-eating goes in our house, it is either feast or famine. In the summer we eat loads of fish as we are lucky enough to do a lot of fishing here in the NZ summer, but over the winter our fish intake drops way down. Partly due to price, and also partly as when it comes to buying fish I have no idea!
I actually find the fishmonger a little intimidating, as I’m not familiar with all the fish, don’t know what is a good price for the fish I’m not familiar with, all the ones I do know are crazy expensive and then I worry about sustainability etc too, so I pretty much over think everything standing in line, then abort the process before I even make a purchase!
Cooking fish is something I find not too tricky though, so I thought I would go back through my old pre-kids recipes and try out some with the kids.
How to make Grain-Free Baked Salmon Bites
The trick is the crumb, I don’t use breadcrumbs I use almonds, and instead of the process of flouring and egging the fish first, I use mayonnaise. It’s a trick I used to do years ago. Take a salmon fillet, spread generously with whole grain mustard and mayonnaise, then top with ground almond or almond meal and bake!
As I’m just getting my kids back into fish eating, I have made my old recipe a little more kid-friendly by: Cutting the fish into bite-sized pieces, goujons if you will. Dropping the mustard and just using mayonnaise, and covering the whole fish bite in the almond so it looks like a little nugget rather than just a crust on the top (which I did for my more adult version)

You can either make your own mayonnaise (I have a 60-second recipe on my site) or use a good quality store-bought mayonnaise, it works just as well.
Are Baked Salmon Bites Keto and Paleo Friendly?
This recipe does happen to be both keto and paleo friendly. I don’t set out to necessarily create either keto or paleo recipes, we aren’t a carb-free zone in our house… But I do try to cut down on processed grains and make sure my kids are getting could dose of healthy fats, so sometimes my recipes just happen to fit the requirements for both paleo and keto diet followers. But please do not think I’m raising my kids as keto kids or cave kids, I definitely am not.
If you are on the hunt for other grain free nugget type recipes, then my easy coconut chicken nuggets and my popcorn chicken tenders might be worth a look.

Healthy Baked Salmon Bites an easy 3 ingredient recipe that is kids-friendly grain-free, quick, paleo and keto friendly 
Ingredients
  • 200g salmon fillet 
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/3 Cup ground almond or almond meal
Instructions
  1. De-bone the salmon fillet and remove bones
  2. Cut into bite-sized chunks
  3. Place the salmon in a bowl and add the mayonnaise. Roll the salmon pieces around in the mayo until they are well coated
  4. Place the ground almond or almond meal in a second bowl, roll the salmon pieces in the ground almond so they are completely coated
  5. Place the bites on a baking paper lined tray
  6. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes, use tongs to turn the bites over and bake for a further 5 minutes, allow to cool a little, as the coating stays on better when they have cooled a little, serve

Notes
I like serving these with steamed edamame beans, rice and other green veggies, but you can serve them however you like
Don't panic too much about the measurements for the mayo and ground almond, you just want to make sure the salmon bites are well coated
Adding a good dollop of wholegrain mustard to the mayo brings a great flavour to this recipe, I prefer it but my kids like it sans mustard!
