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!

LEMON MOUSSE

This easy Lemon Mousse is the perfect way to welcome spring! Light, fluffy mouse infused with the sweet flavor of lemon…this sweet treat is delicious all on its own or topped with fresh berries. Whether you’re looking for a last minute Easter dessert or the perfect dessert for spring showers, this 5-ingredient Lemon Mousse is sure to be a hit!

I’ll never forget the first time I hosted a baby shower. It was back when I was 28, and living in our first house, and pregnant with our second child. It was for a friend who was due just weeks apart from me, and even though I was super pregnant at the time, all I remember was how much fun I had.
Probably because I was hosting it with another friend, and the two of us together were a bit unstoppable. We pulled out ALL the bells and whistles to make it feel special….and we were ALL about sticking to our blue & yellow color scheme. Right down to the food. Meaning lots of blueberry and lemon desserts. Because….she was having a boy! And….it just made sense!
The truth is, blueberry and lemon is one of those combos that ALWAYS makes sense. Especially in spring. And this Lemon Mousse, while delicious all on its own, is even better topped with fresh blueberries. Or raspberries. Or blackberries. Or ALL THE BERRIES.

WHAT IS MOUSSE?

Mousse is a rich dessert made with heavy whipping cream that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. It can either be light and fluffy or creamy and thick, depending on how it is prepared. Lemon Mousse is a lighter twist on the popular Chocolate Mousse and is perfect for the warmer seasons of spring and summer.
Not only is this Lemon Mousse delicious, and impressive, but it’s also SO easy to make. Almost too easy. All you need is 5 ingredients (okay, 5 ingredients plus water), a cold mixing bowl, and 10 minutes. Max. And voila….you have yourself a light, fluffy, lemony mousse that really is the perfect spring treat.


HOW DO YOU MAKE MOUSSE?

Mousse is surprisingly easy to make, usually with just a handful of ingredients. Here are the important things to know:
  1. Gather all of the equipment you will need, including one small mixing bowl, one large mixing bowl, a hand mixer, a spatula, and 4-6 individual serving dishes.
  2. Gather all of your ingredients, including both cold water and boiling water, before you start mixing.
  3. Chill the whipping cream, large mixing bowl, and beaters for 10 minutes.
  4. Begin by blooming your gelatin in cold water, then dissolving it in boiling water.
  5. Combine the sugar, lemon juice, lemon extract, and whipping cream in your cold mixing bowl and begin mixing at medium speed until stiff peaks form.
  6. Add your gelatin mixture and beat at medium-high speed until well-blended.
  7. Spoon or pipe mousse into individual serving dishes.
  8. Refrigerate, covered, about 1 hour or until ready to serve.

This Lemon Mousse would be ideal for Easter, baby showers, wedding showers, you name it. Not just because it’s spring, and lemon desserts were MADE for spring, but because who doesn’t love a single-serving dessert they can have all to themselves!?
Speaking of…there are a few important things to consider when portioning out this Lemon Mousse. First, think about who you’re serving and how much they’re likely to eat. Even though this mousse is light and fluffy, it’s also on the rich side. This recipe will typically serve 4-6, but could also be stretched to serve 8 as more of a bite-sized dessert.
Second, think about presentation. What type of dish do you want to use for serving? Do you want to spoon or pipe your mousse? How do you want to garnish it? There’s no right or wrong….only endless possibilities!

These days, I’m not hosting many baby showers. Or wedding showers, for that matter. But! This Lemon Mousse isn’t just for baby showers. And to be honest, it’s not just for special occasions, either. It’s easy enough to make for a weeknight treat, picnic dessert, or last minute ladies’ night.
If you love lemon, you’re going to ADORE this mousse. I guarantee it.
