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!

GREEK YOGURT CHOCOLATE BANANA MUFFINS

The ripest bananas are the BEST. I’ve already said it, but I’ll say it again — when they are their ripest they are also at their sweetest. I’ve found when the skins are completely black they make for the very best banana baked good.


Next, the chocolate. I call for two types of chocolate chips — miniature and regular sized. I love the different texture of both in these muffins AND you’ll have ripples and pools of melted chocolate throughout the entire muffin which is just straight up amazing. I typically just use dark chocolate since it’s healthier and we love it, but these are also delicious with two types of chocolate (milk and dark, semi-sweet and milk, semi-sweet and dark).


And the Greek yogurt. I’ve tried 3-4 different types of Greek yogurt in these. Plain or vanilla is best with vanilla being my absolute top preference on flavor. 

Greek Yogurt Chocolate Banana Muffins Recipe


Ingredients
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour or plain white flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup miniature dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1 cup extremely ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Generously coat a muffin tin with cooking spray and then dust the cavities with cocoa powder. These muffins stick to muffin liners so I do not recommend using them.
  3. Remove 1 tablespoon of the 1 cup of flour.
  4. In a small bowl, toss together the remaining flour (after removing 1 tablespoon from the 1 cup), cornstarch, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and both types of chocolate chips. Stir.
  5. Make sure your bananas are at their very ripest (black skins are best; see post to speed up the ripening process if not all the way ripe.) Remove the skins and mash the bananas extremely well.
  6. In another bowl, briskly whisk together the egg and Greek yogurt. Stir in the melted coconut oil (slightly cooled, but measure in it's melted state),vanilla extract, brown sugar, and the extremely ripe mashed bananas.
  7. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until JUST combined. Over-mixing results in denser muffins.
  8. Separate the batter evenly among the 12 cavities or fill up 9-10 for extra large muffins.
  9. Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of a muffin.
  10. Allow to cool and then remove from the muffin tin. (Use a butterknife to cut around the edges and help pull them out!)
  11. Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
  12. When ready to enjoy a muffin, microwave for 15-20 seconds. Spread with peanut butter if desired!
