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!

PASTA WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE

PASTA WITH TOMATO CREAM SAUCE
This amazing pasta is going to be your new best friend! It comes together in a flash and oh those tomatoes, cream and pasta…..topped with a dusting of cheese. It’s perfect in its simple little way.
Sometimes, a cuppa cream has gotta hit the pan. I mean how much chicken and veggies can one girl eat?
If I am going to splurge on a bowl of pasta, you can bet it’s going to have tomatoes and cream in it. The simple combo just leaves me all happy and stuff. (I did have broccoli on the side BTW, it’s all about balance :).
Saute some onions and garlic in a little butter and olive oil. Toss in the tomato sauce, let it cook down a bit…then hit it with the cream. Not half and half my friends, cream. Make up those 40 calories somewhere else. CREAM for this one my friends.
Besides being incredibly easy to make, this makes a ton of pasta. I’m gonna be knocking on neighbors doors giving this stuff away. My neighbors really, really like me.
I used linguine because I figured it was ‘thinner’ and lower in calories than fettuccine. The rational of a chub-o is an amazing thing. You don’t wanna be in this head….
TIPS TO MAKE PASTA IN TOMATO CREAM SAUCE:
You can use tomato sauce, marinara or crushed tomatoes in this recipe. ( I really like the simple flavor of the tomato sauce).
Use any kind of pasta you like, this is all about the sauce.
Add chicken or sausage if you need a protein.
Taste test, adding salt and pepper as you go. This should go without saying, but I forget all the time and it can make or break a dish. Also salt your pasta water.
