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!

Macerated Strawberries and Cream Crepes

Edit
I have a thing for Macerated Strawberries of any kind. Orange liqueur with strawberries makes them so syrupy and extra special… and combining them with cream for this was a definite arrow in to Cupid’s heart.


These Crepes are not the super thin ones that leave you reaching for more food after 5 seconds. These crepes had a filling kick.

But that creamy macerated strawberry filling — made with a splash of Cointreau for an added touch of romance made these Crepes that.much.extra.special. I love the hint of Vanilla in these Crepes. Of course, you have to add the liqueur to soak into the strawberries, because it really just takes them to a whole other place of Romeo and Juliet with a happy ending. (Just kidding. You can skip the Cointreau if you’re not a fan….but if you are — pour it in people. Just pour it in).

Macerated Strawberries and Cream Crepes Recipe
Fluffy Vanilla Crepes enveloping juicy, sweet strawberries soaked with a hint of Cointreau, mixed into a thick and creamy filling for an added hint of romance.


Ingredients
Macerated Strawberries and Cream:
  • 2 cups strawberries , washed and divided
  • 2 tablespoons natural sweetener or sugar of choice
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons Cointreau (adjust to your tastes)
  • 1 1/2 cups reduced fat cooking cream (Philadelphia) or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons (extra) sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crepes
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons oil/ (or reduced fat butter, melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup skim/low fat or almond milk
  • 1 cup plain; light spelt or all-purpose flour

Instructions
For strawberries.
  • Cut the strawberries into quarters. Combine the strawberries into a bowl with the sweetener or sugar and Cointreau, and mix to coat evenly and set aside for 15 minutes. While strawberries are soaking up the liqueur, prepare your crepes
For Crepes:
  • Option 1: Throw all Crepes ingredients into a Bullet or Blender and blend until batter is lump free and creamy.
  • Option 2: Whisk eggs, oil/butter, vanilla, sugar and milk until light in colour. Add the flour and whisk again until batter is lump free.
  • Grease a good quality 8-inch non-stick pan with cooking oil (or a thin layer of butter) and wipe over with a paper towel. Pour ¼ cup of batter per crepe onto the center of pan, while swirling and lifting the pan to evenly coat the base and create a thin layer. Cook until the crepe is set and the edges begin to change golden in colour.
  • Gently peel the edges away from the pan (I use my fingers but a spatula will do the trick) and flip to cook the underside for a further 20-30 seconds. When cooked through, remove onto a separate plate and repeat with remaining batter.
For Strawberries And Cream:
  • Once the Crepes are done, combine the cream/yogurt, the (extra) sweetener/sugar, and the vanilla. Chop half of the the macerated strawberries into smaller pieces (optional) and mix through the cream mix until just combined. Spread the Strawberries And Cream mixture onto a quarter of each crepe and fold in half, and then in half again. Stack them; top with remaining macerated strawberries and dust with icing sugar.
