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!

BROWN SUGAR-GLAZED CARROTS

 These Brown Sugar-Glazed Carrots take carrots to a whole new level! Made with just 4 delicious ingredients, they come together quickly and make the perfect holiday side dish!

 Can we talk for a minute about carrots? In particular, cooked carrots? For the life of me, I cannot get my kids to eat them! Or, I should say, I couldn’t get my kids to eat them…..until now.  I think it has something to do with the flavor. And the texture. And the fact that I’m convinced I’ve been preparing them wrong for years.

I happened to be thinking about this right around the time I got my newAnolon cookware….and in between admiring my new pans and contemplating carrots, suddenly it hit me. I had been treating my carrots too much like green beans, when in reality, they’re much more like sweet potatoes! It was a lightbulb moment.

 Before I get into the specifics of the recipe, I feel like I need to tell you how much I LOVE my new pans. They’re part of the Anolon Advanced Umber Collection, and when it comes to cookware, they’re top notch. Not only are they durable and so easy to clean, but they also feature SureGrip™ handles, making them extremely comfortable to cook with. And on top of it all, they’re a beautiful umber color that is perfect for the holiday season.

I’m not sure what it is about new (gorgeous) pans….but since I’ve had them, I’ve been inspired to get more creative in the kitchen! I think it has to do with the fact that they’re the perfect sizes, and durable enough to handle whatever I might throw their way. (The fact that clean-up is a cinch definitely doesn’t hurt, either!) I’m actually thinking of expanding my collection for Christmas, because the Anolon gourmet collections are vast. And when you find a product that inspires you in the kitchen, you need as many of them as you can get! (Am I right??)

Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots

 Okay. Now that I’ve expressed my undying love for Anolon cookware, let’s talk about this recipe. My kids actually ate it….and loved it! Let’s just say it’s already on the menu for Christmas. These Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots couldn’t be more simple – just carrots, butter, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice – but the end result is beyond delicious. Sweet and buttery with a touch of winter spice. The way cooked carrots were meant to be.




These Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots soar to a whole new level! Made with just 4 ingredients, they come together quickly and make the perfect holiday side dish!
