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!

Cinnamon Maple Sugar Cookies

Cinnamon maple sugar cookies are tender and cinnamon-spiced, with a hint of maple flavor in the dough. Top with an easy, quick-setting cinnamon glaze and these are ready to serve!


This recipe for cinnamon maple sugar cookies in particular is based off of a family recipe, which is on the tender side that yields cookies that puff up as they bake. They’re airy and light (in texture, I’m making no claims as for their nutritional value) and stay soft for days.

You’ll notice maple extract is used as the maple flavoring here instead of maple syrup. Maple extract, much like vanilla extract, only requires a little bit to be used, and doesn’t throw off the dry to wet ingredient ratio or add additional sugar like using syrup would.

Cinnamon Maple Sugar Cookies Recipe

Cinnamon maple sugar cookies are tender and cinnamon-spiced, with a hint of maple flavor in the dough. Top with an easy, quick-setting cinnamon glaze and these are ready to serve!


Ingredients
For the cookies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract (see note)
  • 3/4 tsp maple extract (see note)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tbsp water (potentially more)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
For the cookies:

  • Cream together butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add vanilla and maple extracts and mix until combined. Add eggs and mix until smooth.
  • Whisk together flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Slowly add dry ingredients to the bowl with the butter mixture and mix until just combined. The dough should be in a ball shape and just a little bit sticky. If dough is too sticky, add additional flour 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Once chilled, preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet or two with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Roll dough out onto a floured work surface until it's about 1/8" thick. Cut cookies with cookie cutters and place about 1 - 1 1/2" apart from one another on the prepared baking sheets, rerolling any scraps and repeating until all of the dough is used.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden brown on the edges. Let cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.

For the glaze:

  • Whisk together all ingredients in a bowl and see how you like the consistency. If you'd like the glaze to be thinner, add additional water a very small amount (1 tsp) at a time and whisk. Spread glaze on cookies, and allow glaze to harden before stacking or storing.
