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!

cookie dough brownie cake

cookie dough brownie cake
You know when you make an awesome dessert, take it to your Mom’s house for Sunday dinner, and only eat a tiny piece because you’re too full from dinner to eat more? And then you find yourself sitting on the couch at 9pm wishing you brought a piece home with you?
I’m there.
I ALWAYS do that. I’m all like, “Nah, I don’t need a big piece of cake, I’m good with one little bite.” And then at 9pm I’m trying to figure out what my parents would do if I barged into their kitchen like it was 1989 again. Especially since I’d have to wake my kids up to make the trip. I think the biggest problem is that this doesn’t sound terribly irrational to me…
Speaking of which, can you believe that 1989 was 25 years ago? Because I was curious, I looked up the top 100 Billboard songs of 1989. It included “My Prerogative,” “Wind Beneath my Wings,” “Every Rose Has It’s Thorn,” and “Straight Up.”
I now feel old.
So, now I feel old and I wish I had cake. Cookie Dough Brownie Cake, to be precise.
As far as layer cakes go, this one is pretty easy. A simple brownie recipe is baked into three 8-inch layers, and it’s filled with my favorite cookie dough frosting then doused in a layer of chocolate ganache. It’s messy, rich, dense and hits the spot with a big dollop of whipped cream on top.
If you want to be extra fancy, double your ganache recipe and drizzle it over the slices after you serve it. Or, serve this with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, it it will taste exactly like a brownie sundae made with cookie dough frosting.
If that’s your thing, that is.
Which is should be. Your thing. This cake should be your thing, ’cause it’s just darn good.
Oh – and one more thing. You may have notice a bit of a new look around here. I’m doing a bit of updating, so I hope you like the changes so far! I have plenty more to do, but should have everything completed in the next few weeks.
Hope you love this recipe. Enjoy!
Cookie Dough Brownie Cake
Prep time 45 mins
Rich and decadent, this three-layer brownie cake is filled with cookie dough frosting and topped with a silky chocolate ganache. Recipe source: Adapted from Life Love and Sugar
Serves: 12-16 servings

Ingredients
Brownie Cake:
  • 1 and ½ cups vegetable oil
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 and ½ cups flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Cookie Dough Filling:
  • 3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 and ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Ganache Frosting:
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped (or use chocolate chips)
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Extra chocolate chips, for garnish
Instructions
Brownies:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (F).
  2. Prepare three 8-inch round baking pans with cooking spray and parchment.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sugar and oil. Stir with a large wooden spoon until completely combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, stirring and incorporating each completely before adding another.
  5. Add vanilla, stir to combine.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.) Whisk to combine.
  7. Add dry ingredients a little bit at a time, stirring until just absorbed each time. I added mine in 3 batches. Do not over-mix, just stir until dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
  8. Pour batter evenly into three prepared pans.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with wet crumbs.
  10. Cool completely, then remove from pans and set aside.
  11. Prepare filling.
Cookie Dough Filling:
  1. In a large bowl (I used my stand mixer) beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add confectioners' sugar, and beat to combine.
  3. Add flour and sugar, beat until combined.
  4. Add milk and vanilla, beat until light and fully.
Ganache Frosting:
  1. In a medium glass bowl, heat heavy cream in the microwave until steaming hot but not boiling, about 45 seconds. (Microwaves vary, so just watch yours carefully.)
  2. Remove hot cream from microwave, and pour chocolate chips into the cream.
  3. Allow to sit for 30 seconds, then slowly stir with a rubber spatula until cream and chocolate fully combine, and chocolate melts completely.
  4. Stir in corn syrup and vanilla, and again stir until completely combined. Set aside while you assemble the cake.
Assembly:
  1. Place one layer of brownie cake on your serving platter. Spoon about 1 cup of frosting over the top of the cooled cake, and spread just to the edge of the cake.
  2. Place another layer on top of the first. Press down slightly to secure.
  3. Spoon another 1 cup of frosting over the top of the layer, and spread just to the edges of the cake.
  4. Spoon remaining frosting into a piping bag with a star tip for decorating.
  5. Place top layer of cake over the frosting. Press down slightly to secure.
  6. Place cake in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove chilled cake from refrigerator. Slowly pour about ½ cup of ganache over the top of the cake, and using an offset spatula, slowly spread it to the sides of the cake, just barely pushing it over the edge. Add more ganache until you reach your desired coverage.
  8. Place cake back in refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow ganache to firm up.
  9. Pipe decorations around cake, sprinkle with chocolate chips and drizzle with leftover ganache.
  10. Enjoy!
