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!

ROASTED GARLIC SPINACH WHITE PIZZA

ROASTED GARLIC SPINACH WHITE PIZZA
OK so a few days ago it was my first time roasting garlic, holy moly why on earth did I wait so long to do such a thing? This roasted garlic spinach white pizza was to die for.
Granted I used quite a bit of garlic for this roasted garlic spinach white pizza but when you roast garlic the flavor kind of becomes a lot milder. Don’t be afraid of all the garlic in this recipe, well unless you don’t like garlic!
I used Cascadian Farm organic spinach. I love their products.They not only have organic fruits and vegetables but they also have granola bars, fruit spreads and much more. You can browse their many products here. Besides having top of the line products they are also enrolled on their non-GMO project. Something that I actually love since it gives me peace of mind when eating their products.
I don’t buy everything organic but the products that I always do are the ones in the dirty dozen list such berries, apples, potatoes, spinach and such.
Fridays it is usually pizza night in my household. We sort of skip it sometimes but for the most part I always make pizza on Fridays. This roasted garlic spinach white pizza I think has become one of our top contender pizza recipes simply for the fact that we love garlic and spinach.
Anyways, I hope you like this roasted garlic spinach white pizza, my kids sure enjoyed it. I added some pepper flakes for the adults for some added heat, it was to die for.
Enjoy!
ROASTED GARLIC SPINACH WHITE PIZZA
Miryam's original recipe
YIELD: 2 PIZZAS, 16 SLICES 
TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4-5 heads of garlic
  • 4 tsp olive oil
  • 2 whole wheat pizza dough
  • 32 oz part skim mozzarella cheese
  • 16-22 oz ricotta cheese
  • 20 oz Cascadian Farm frozen spinach, thawed and liquid squeezed
  • Pepper flakes, optional
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Heat your oven to 400°F. Use your fingers to peel away all the loose layers around the head of garlic. With a knife, cut off about 1/4 inch from the top of the head to expose the cloves.
  2. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the exposed surface of each garlic head. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 30-40 minutes. The garlic is done when a center clove is completely soft.
  3. Let the garlic cool slightly. Press the bottom of the entire clove to push it out of its paper. Place it in a bowl and mash with the back of a fork. Combine the roasted garlic with the ricotta cheese and set aside.
  4. On a flat surface, like your kitchen counter, place some whole wheat flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll out your pizza dough with a rolling pin. Place the pizza dough onto the pizza stone making sure you reach the edges. You can also use a pizza baking sheet or a cookie sheet. Repeat this with the second pizza dough.
  5. Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over each pizza dough followed by the mozzarella cheese and spinach. Bake the pizzas at 425F in a preheated oven for 18-2o minutes.
  6. When the pizzas are done top with pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately.
