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!
EPIC SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS
Chicken wings are one of those foods that you can just eat until the cows come home (and when they do, try this short rib recipe). Smoked chicken wings are simply out of this world, and you will never have enough of them to satisfy your hunger.
Unlike most of the recipes on here, wings tend to be more of a hot and fast cook, but can defiantly also be done low and slow. Their size makes them at most a two hour cook, and my method uses the added awesome taste of smoked honey
INGREDIENTS
- 10-12 chicken wings
- Quality dry chicken rub (such as Moonshine BBQ Chicken Rub)
- Honey (for an out-of-this-world spin, try Blend Smoked Honey)
- Smoking wood (either apple or cherry)
SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS METHOD
Give chicken wings a generous coating of chicken rub, and set aside for a half hour- Arrange your BBQ heat beads or charcoal in the centre of your kettle, get a number of coals going in your chimney starter and then add on top of the unlit fuel. You want to get your temperature up to either 225-250F for a long cook, or up to 350 for a fast cook.
- Arrange your wings around the outside edge of the grill plate away from the fuel (see image), add a chunk of smoking wood to the centre of the grate and close the lid.
- Cook for either 80min on 225-250, or for 35 – 45 min at 350F
- Glaze the wings with some honey and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Remove smoked chicken wings from the heat, drizzle with more honey and serve (why not try our ultimate BBQ slaw as a side)
