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!

BLACKBERRY HAND PIES

Hello, darlings! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! And, well… since now Thanksgiving has passed… it means it’s Christmas time! Sorry if I’m obnoxious, I just love Christmas so much and it’s seriously my favorite time of the year. I’m sure everyone is still trying to recover from the ridiculous amounts of food consumed with family, but if you were hoping for a healthy recipe… sorry to disappoint. Today, I am sharing these adorable hand pies made with storebought pie dough and filled with the simplest mixture of fresh blackberries, sugar, and a smidge of lemon juice. Let me show you how it’s done!

I want to say that I’ve talked about my mythical blogging notebook before. It’s just a little notebook where I jot down literally every single recipe idea I ever think of. See something on tv? Writing it down. Facebook? Magazines? Grocery store freezer aisle? {hey, it happens}. It all goes in. The idea for hand pies had been in the notebook since last Christmas. Because, well, sometimes I come up with ideas in the entirely wrong season {sweet potato donuts in April, I’m looking at you}, and sometimes I just don’t get to them in time. I was planning on making some chocolate-pecan hand pies, which might still happen honestly, but blackberries were on sale at $0.99 a container, so I took that as a sign that these needed to be berry hand pies!

These little sweet treats are incredibly simple, but so yummy. You start by grabbing some refrigerated pie dough, and rolling it out just a bit thinner than it already is. Keep in mind not to make it too thin, however, or your pies will turn into all kinds of crispy, crunchy messes. You can see the difference if you look carefully at the picture of the pan of pies! But, well, if crispy pie dough is what you like, I say go for it! ANYWAYS. You roll out the dough and cut it into circles. Then for the filling, you toss together fresh blackberries, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and just a bit of flour to thicken things up. Fill the circles of dough with the blackberry mixture, seal them up into half-moons, cut little steam-slits on top of the pies, brush the top with beaten egg, and sprinkle with a little sugar. Then pop them in the oven, and you will be rewarded with perfect little hand pies in no time!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 package {2 crusts} refrigerated pie dough
  • 12 oz {2 containers} fresh blackberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • additional sugar for topping


INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375F, and line two baking sheets with parchment.
First, prepare the filling. Rinse the berries well, cut them in half, and place them in a medium bowl. Add in the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour, and mix well.
On a well-floured surface, lay out the pie crusts and gently roll them out to ¼" thickness.
Using a large cookie cutter or other round object, cut out circles about 5 inches across.
Place the circles of dough on the baking sheets, and spoon about 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each.
Fold the dough over, and press the edges firmly with your fingertips to seal. Using a knife, gently cut 2-3 small slits on the top of each pie. Brush them with the beaten egg, and sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown and flaky. Let cool slightly, and enjoy!
