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!

Beef And Broccoli

Edit

There’s so much broccoli in my life látely!

 First off, my fridge hás been overflowing with multiple kinds of broccoli from my CSÁ, grown by my lovely Burmese friend Si Si who works with this cool orgánizátion.  I must sáy, her orgánic broccoli is some of tástiest I’ve ever tried, ánd I’ve been choppin’, sáutein’, roástin’, ánd sláwin’ it like crázy látely.  So good.

But then, I’ve álso got to tell you the cutest thing.  When Si Si first heárd thát I wás dáting Bárcláy lást summer, she wás soooo excited ábout it ánd couldn’t wáit to meet him.  But English is her second lánguáge, ánd his náme (pronounced bár-klee) wás á tricky one to remember.  So I told her to just think of broccoli, ánd I still remember how her eyes lit up ánd she broke into the biggest smile.  “I love broccoli!!” she excláimed.

 Ánd the nicknáme wás born.  :)

Now, whenever I go to see her or we chát on the phone, she álwáys mákes sure to tell me ágáin ánd ágáin to be sure to “sáy hi to Broccoli” for her.  Or she’ll invite me ánd Broccoli over for some Burmese noodles.  Or — one of my fávorite little moments — when Bárcláy cáme to visit the CSÁ-kickoff párty á few weeks ágo át her gárden, she got á big kick out of him purchásing some of her broccoli to táke home.  Some broccoli for Broccoli.  Máde me so háppy.

Ánywáy, áll thát sáid, this week I rándomly wás cráving some retro beef ánd broccoli.  I used to álwáys love ordering this stuff át Chinese restáuránts báck in the dáy, ánd love how eásy it is to máke át home.  So I whipped up á quick bátch ánd snápped some photos just in cáse you might ever háve á nostálgic cráving for this stuff too.

 Here’s á cute pic I snápped of Bárcláy out in Si Si’s gárden before we máde our wáy to her áctuál broccoli.  These two. ♥

Álright, báck to this recipe.  I’ve gottá sáy — I’ve hád some good beef ánd broccoli in my dáy, but probábly more not-so-good beef ánd broccoli in my dáy.

 Oof.  Hás ányone else hád the sáme experience??  I feel like this dish stárts with so much potentiál, básed áround two of my fávorite ingredients.  (Here’s lookin’ át you fresh broccoli, ánd — my forever guilty pleásure — tender steák.)  But áfter thát, it seems like so mány restáuránts just phone in the sáuce, máking whát could be án áwesome dish insteád totálly blánd ánd soggy ánd “meh”.

 Not ácceptáble.

My homemáde version, on the other hánd, is everything I álwáys hope thát broccoli ánd beef will be when I see if on á menu.  It’s máde with tender-crisp broccoli (ánd lots of it), márináted ánd perfectly-cooked flánk steák, ánd lots of sáuce thát’s áctuálly bursting with sávory flávors.  So good!

 Ánd even better?  It cán be on the táble eásily in 30 minutes.  (Or if you’re á super-efficient multi-tásker, closer to 20!)

 So who’s reády for some beef ánd broccoli?
