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!

Healthy Granola Cookie Dough Bars

Snack + dessert – this cool treat just knocked both categories out of the park. These healthy granola cookie dough bars are the perfect combo of crunchy and creamy, but sweetened naturally with all ‘good-for-you’, natural ingredients. SO easy to make and even easier to eat.

I can be kind of a nag. I can be kind of a control freak. Those two personality traits combined mean I’m pretty much the wife of my husband’s dreams (SARCASM). I can’t help it, I just can’t stop being in control of like, everything.
I got a little taste of what he goes through when I posted a sneak peak of these healthy granola cookie dough bars on Instagram. You guys were like ALL over me from that point on.

Messages after messages poured in, “WHEN ARE YOU POSTING THOSE COOKIE DOUGH BARS!?!?” “I NEED THAT RECIPE NOW” “BARS.WANT.HURRY”
I love you all something fierce, but your persistence on Instagram is relentless. When you want a dessert recipe, nothing must stand in your way. I can’t truly blame you though – I’m the same way about how my underwear is folded, ALL dishes (clean or dirty) must be off the countertops, the pantry arranged in a specific order, and all the details of the week recorded on the fridge calendar. Things need be done in a timely and certain way.
But dessert is a whole other beast. It’s important. I do understand, I do.
Especially a dessert of epic portions like a honey granola top with almonds, cashews, and coconut. Especially a dessert with a healthy cookie dough base complete with mini chocolate chips. Especially these no bake healthy granola cookie dough bars.

I wasn’t planning on posting these healthy granola cookie dough bars for a few more weeks but the demandsquestions kept pouring in about these beautiful treats. And I have to admit, rearranging my set-in-stone, highly organized editorial calendar wasn’t easy for me, but I did it for you. I do it all for you…
So here they are in all their glory. A decadent cookie dough base made of chickpeas and almond butter, topped with a simple honey granola nut mixture and frozen to perfect. Yep, these bars must be served cold. And they taste SO amazing as a cool summer treat – seriously favorite.

Just make them. I’m certain you won’t regret it. Plus throwing a bunch of stuff in a food processor then layering is an epically easy way to make an epically delicious treat. I couldn’t not love these healthy granola cookie dough bars more if I tried.
Feeling adventures? You can also flip these and the granola layer the bottom layer too!
Nutty dessert bars kind of your gig? Then you also have to try these paleo key lime pie energy balls, no bake chocolate mango bars, and these flourless peanut butter & strawberry chia bars.
