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!

Korean Dumpling (Mandoo)






Korean dumplings, known as mandoo or mandu, are a traditional, easy-to-make traditional food that can be prepared in large quantities in advance and stored in the freezer for future use.
These little dumplings are stuffed with a mixture of meat and/or vegetables and can be deep-fried, boiled, pan-fried or baked in the oven. In fact, there are almost as many variations of mandoo as there are cooks in Korea.
Mandoo is often prepared by families as part of Korean Lunar New Year festivities and is considered a symbol of good luck for the coming year. 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean​ ground beef or pork
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage (about 1/2 of a small cabbage head), parboiled
  • 1/2 cup tofu (1 cake), chopped
  • 4 ounces​ mung bean noodles or sweet potato noodles, soaked and then chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 package circular mandoo wrappers (or​ Japanese gyozaor​ Chinese wonton wrappers)

Steps to Make It

1.   In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef or ground pork, onion, cabbage, tofu and noodles.
2.   In a separate small bowl, combine garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
3.   Pour seasoning mixture over meat and vegetables and mix with hands to combine.
4.   Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of dumpling wrapper.
5.   Dip your finger in water and wet the perimeter of half of the wrapper.
6.   Fold the wrapper in half, pressing to seal and then crimp the edges.
7.   Repeat until the filling is gone.
8.   You can steam, boil, fry, or sauté the dumplings as you wish.
9.   Serve with basic dipping sauce or a spicy sauce.
Note: If you have extra dumpling wrappers, you can just cut them into slices and use them to make noodle soup. 
·         If you want to prepare a lot of dumplings in advance, steam the dumplings, wait for them to cool, and then freeze them on a parchment-lined tray. When fully frozen, transfer them to a zip-top bag for longer storage.
·         You can then use them anytime straight from the freezer without defrosting, whether you want to fry, sauté, steam, or use them in soup.
·         Korean dumplings are traditionally made with a beef or pork filling, but chicken and vegetarian dumplings also are popular. 
·         Mandoo can be added to soup made with beef broth or anchovy broth (mandu guk) that also can be served with a traditional cylindrical rice cake (tteok manu guk).
·         Versatile and delicious, mandoo are substantial enough for a main dish but also are good as snack/appetizer dishes or a mess-free lunch.
