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!

Candy Cane Pie
Candy Cane Pie is the only dessert recipe, you’ll need this Christmas! It’s no bake pie with crumbly Oreo crust and white chocolate ganache on top. And the filling is a bomb! It’s combo of cream cheese, whipped cream, instant pudding, butter, chocolate chips and crushed candy canes!
However, there are still a few weeks until Thanksgiving and I’ve already shared a lot of Christmas dessert recipes, too. When it comes to Christmas and New Year, I’m always excited like a kid. And I could hardly wait my favorite holidays to come.
To tell you the truth, I made this Candy Cane Pie for Halloween. You are probably 100% sure that I’m crazy! But wait, I can explain this! On October 31 was my birthday, not just Halloween!
My little boy asked me if we could organize a party at our house. And so we had a party! That was Halloween/birthday party for a few of my closest friends and a bunch of their kids.
But a bunch of kids could eat a bunch of sweets, right?!
Also, that was a great opportunity for me try out some new recipes I’ve planned to share here on my blog before Christmas baking season starts. And the kids are the best taste testers! They will frankly tell you if something is good or bad. Moreover, they will spit it out to your face whether they love or hate yours cakes, too.
However, having a bunch of kids at the party was also a great opportunity to share a lot of cakes and desserts so I won’t stuck with tons of desserts siting in my fridge for days.
Therefore I made this Candy Cane Pie besides my birthday cake. And they are both vanished in a blink of an eye! Kids loved them, they all asked for one more slice.
Let’s get back to this Candy Cane Pie. It’s completely homemade! I wasn’t lazy this time so I made everything from scratch. I haven’t used store bought Oreo crust or Cool Whip. I’ve already used Cool Whip in many recipes because it keep thick texture of the fillings, but many of you hates desserts that are having Cool Whip in it. So this time I keep it 100 % homemade, no artificial stuff!
Don’t let list of ingredients and recipe instructions discourage you. It’s all really simple, I promise! If you try this one, I think you’ll love it, it’s delicious
In next few weeks many melt in your mouth Christmas recipes follow. I want to make sure you are ready in time for this special holiday season. until new recipes arrives, check some of my old Christmas recipes: Christmas Tree Krispie Treat, Homemade Peppermint Patties, Christmas Lasagna, Reese’s Peanut Butter Christmas Trees or Christmas Cranberry Pound Cake.
