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!

CREAMY SWEET POTATO DAUPHINOISE

I CAN’T BELIEVE I DIDN’T THINK OF MAKING SWEET POTATO DAUPHINOISE BEFORE. AFTER ALL, REGULAR POTATO DAUPHINOISE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY DISHES. BAKED IN A HEAVY CREAM, GARLIC AND PARMESAN SAUCE THIS IS ONE SIDE DISH THAT SHOULD BE ON YOUR MENU!


I just had another thought, how amazing would it be to use purple potatoes! Those might be showing up here soon, but for now, let’s talk about these slow baked sweet potatoes. Each layer of sweet potato is seasoned, sprinkled with grated Parmesan and then doused in a creamy garlic sauce. Bake them in the oven for about an hour and a half and you’ll end up with a pan full of cheesy, creamy awesomeness.
Because sweet potatoes can be really weird shapes, you’ll end up with some slices being way smaller than the pieces cut more towards the center of the potato. Don’t worry, they’ll all come together in the end but when you buy them try and pick the fatter ones rather than the long skinny kind.

 PREPARING YOUR SWEET POTATO DAUPHINOISE!

I rarely peel my potatoes after reading how nutritional the skin can be and really, who likes to peel spuds? Even the fries at In N Out Burger are hand cut and covered in the skin. I feel bad for my Mom, I remember watching her peel loads of potatoes to feed us when I was a kid. Dang it, if I had just told her to keep the skin! Give them a good rinse under some running water and start slicing. How thick or thin they are will determine your cooking time, to check if they’re done just poke them with a sharp knife and you shouldn’t feel any resistance. You could use a mandolin but yikes, those things should come with a warning and free training, be careful.
