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!

Once you taste the amazing flavors in this Summer Strawberry Salad you’ll never eat a boring salad again!

It’s no secret that I’m all about the salads. I love them any way I can get them, and I literally eat them daily. Of course I have my favorites, like this Blueberry Feta Saladand this Pineapple Crunch Salad (trust me…you have to try it!), but the truth is I’ve never met a salad I didn’t like.
And when it comes to summer, I especially love salads with fresh fruit! Because the fresh fruit selection is amazing…and the savory-sweet combination of fruit + cheese + nuts is one of my favorites.
And when it comes to fruit? Well, we all know that strawberries on salads can’t be beat. And there are so many different ways to mix it up. Like this Strawberry Bacon Blue Cheese Salad or Strawberry Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese & Pistachios….or….this Summer Strawberry Salad!

HOW DO YOU MAKE STRAWBERRY SALAD?

  1. Start with 8 oz. of spinach or your favorite mixed greens.
  2. Add 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 c. fresh blueberries, and 1/2 c. mandarin oranges.
  3. Top with 1/2 c. pecans, 3.5 oz. crumbled goat cheese, and 2 Tbsp. green onions.
  4. Prepare dressing, pour over salad, and toss to combine.

HOW DO YOU MAKE DRESSING FOR STRAWBERRY SALAD?

In a small jar with a lid, combine 1/2 c. sparkling orange juice, 3 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 Tbsp. white balsamic vinegar, 1/2 Tbsp. honey, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Shake well.

WHAT FRUITS DO YOU ADD TO STRAWBERRY SALAD?

Strawberry Salad can be made with just strawberries or with any other fruits you like. For this Summer Strawberry Salad I added blueberries and mandarin oranges, but you could also add mango, pineapple, raspberries, blackberries, or kiwi.

WHAT OTHER TOPPINGS DO YOU ADD TO STRAWBERRY SALAD?

There are many different options when it comes to Strawberry Salad. I usually add some type of cheese (goat, feta, or blue cheese), some type of nuts (pecans, almonds, pistachios, or walnuts), and sliced red or green onions.

The thing I love most about this Summer Strawberry Salad, aside from how GORGEOUS it is, is the fact that it works equally well as a main dish or side dish.
It makes a perfect light lunch, and for a more substantial meal you can always add grilled chicken, shrimp, or even salmon. And it would make a great addition to any summer picnic or party, too!
Between the fresh fruit, the pecans, and the goat cheese, it’s not only delicious, but also incredibly satisfying. And I’m telling you….everyone LOVES a good strawberry salad!

CAN YOU MAKE A STRAWBERRY SALAD IN ADVANCE?

Absolutely! You can easily make this salad in advance, cover it tightly, and simply wait to add the dressing until you are ready to serve it.

HOW WELL DOES STRAWBERRY SALAD KEEP?

Once you add the dressing, you’ll want to eat the salad within the same day. The good news is this salad will be such a hit, there won’t likely be much leftover.
