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!

We would be celebrating with this basil & lemon baked salmon in foil, a few side dishes, and of course a huge peanut butter or chocolate cake for dessert.
Dessert was always my dad’s favorite.
It’s not often I get too personal on here. However, Father’s Day is this weekend and I can’t help but get a little emotional.
It’s been over nine years since I last hugged my dad. A hug I will never forget.
I can still feel his arms squeezing me tight and telling me how much he loved me.
He was the best dad ever. A father to four boys and two girls.
My dad attended every sports game, dance recital, piano performance, school play, awards ceremony, and any other event his kids were in.
He was the man. And I was his princess.
So much has happened since that cold and dreary day in 2008. I graduated college and then dental school.
I met and married the love of my life. We moved to Austin and bought our first house.
I started this food blog where I get to make yummy recipes like this lemon salmon every day.
My little sister and two of my brothers got married. Three more grandchildren were born. The list goes on and on.

This weekend in June has and always will be difficult for me. No matter how old I am, no matter how many years it has been.
I know there are many of you out there that can completely relate. It’s OK to be sad, but it’s also OK to be happy for those you still have in your life.
You may be celebrating your dad, your husband, your grandfather, your father-in-law, or another father-figure in your life this weekend.
Whoever it is you are celebrating, please make sure to give him lots of love.
Whether that is making this basil & lemon baked salmon in foil for lunch, going for a hike, or playing catch outside, cherish each and every minute you have with them.

  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 6 lemon slices

  3. In a medium-sized bowl combine butter, garlic, basil, juice, salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon until combined.
  4. Pour half of the lemon-basil sauce over salmon fillets. Reserve the remaining sauce for later. Top each fillet with one lemon slice.
