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!

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole has all of the great flavor of homemade chicken cordon bleu, but it is much easier to make with rotisserie chicken. This easy and delicious casserole is prepped, cooked and ready to serve in under an hour!

Tender pieces of chicken, ham, and melted Swiss cheese are covered with a savory crumb topping and then smothered in a Dijon cream sauce. This easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is the kind of dinner your entire family will love!




My family loves it when I make hearty casseroles like Cheeseburger Casserole and Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Casserole for dinner. I knew this Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole would not only be a hit with the entire family, because they already love my original Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe, but I knew I would love making it because it is a super easy casserole.


This recipe is so easy, in fact, that it almost feels like a cheat. You see, the most difficult part of making Chicken Cordon Bleu is the fact that you have to pound the raw chicken breasts and roll them around ham and Swiss. Not a lot of people enjoy handling raw chicken and the technique of stuffing the chicken breasts can be a bit challenging.

Next time you’re grocery shopping, just pick up a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Everyone knows they taste fantastic on their own, but when you combine them with a few other ingredients to make this easy casserole, your mouth won’t stop watering!

You could make the same kind of easy casserole for a traditional chicken parmesan recipe. Instead of using raw chicken, you could pick up a rotisserie chicken and have yourself an easy dinner casserole using similar ingredients!






WHAT IS CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CASSEROLE?

Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is basically Chicken Cordon Bleu, deconstructed. I knew I wanted to use the same ingredients as my original Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe, and I wanted it to have the same crispy topping and creamy sauce as well.

The basic Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe consists of chicken wrapped around ham and Swiss cheese, then coated with some kind of bread crumb topping, and baked to perfection. The cream sauce is optional, but if you ask me I think it’s a must.

For whatever reasons, the saltiness of the ham and the meltiness of the Swiss cheese perfectly compliment the chicken. I guarantee that if you make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole for dinner, your entire family will love it and want you to add it to your regular rotation.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole has all of the great flavor of homemade chicken cordon blue, but it is much easier to make with rotisserie chicken.

INGREDIENTS

1 whole rotisserie chicken
8 oz ham sliced thin
6 oz swiss cheese sliced thin
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
4 T butter melted
1 tsp garlic herb blend
SAUCE:
1 T butter
1 T flour
1 1/4 cup milk
2 T Dijon mustard
3 T parmesan cheese grated
1 tsp thyme

INSTRUCTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove chicken from bones and shred. Combine chicken with ham, swiss cheese, and chicken broth in large casserole dish.

In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, melted butter and garlic herb seasonings. Sprinkle over chicken. Cover and bake until heated through and cheese has melted, about 20 minutes.

While the casserole is cooking, make the sauce. In a saucepan melt the butter, then add the flour and whisk together. Cook for several minutes while continually whisking to avoid burning.

Gradually whisk in milk. Continue to heat until the milk bubbles and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in dijon, parmesan, and thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste.
