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!

EVERYTHING-FREE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

EVERYTHING-FREE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
These healthy chocolate cupcakes are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, sugar-free, nut-free, and so decadent. The perfect guilt-free chocolate treat, and easy to make too!
Jump to Recipe
These cupcakes are what I like to call everything-free. In other words, they are…
-Gluten-free with GF oat flour or certified GF oats ground to flour
-Oil-free with just a small amount of fat found naturally in oats and cacao
-Nut-free as long as you use a non-dairy milk made from rice or oats or flax or hemp
-Soy-free
-Refined sugar-free instead sweetened naturally with dates
Well maybe not free of everything, because then they would be invisible. And then you couldn’t find them. And then you couldn’t eat them. And that would be sad.
They are definitely not free of dreamy chocolate flavor thanks to a few tablespoons of cacao. I love using cacao powder in place of cocoa powder even in non-raw recipes.

INGREDIENTS
CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE
  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates (about 12)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
CHOCOLATE FROSTING
  • 1 cup pitted medjool dates (about 12)
  • 2/3 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2 tbsps cacao powder or cocoa powder
  • COCONUT WHIPPED CREAM FROSTING
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk chilled overnight
INSTRUCTIONS
Chocolate Frosting: Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. Chill for at least 2 hours.
Coconut Whipped Frosting: Scoop out the solid part of the separated coconut cream. Whip till smooth. Sweeten if you want, I personally like it as is with just the natural sweetness of coconut.
Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350F.
Blend the dates and water until smooth. (A high speed blender works best, if using a food processor either wrap a towel around it before turning it on or add the water slowly to avoid date water spraying all over your kitchen.)
Add the oat flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and non-dairy milk. Blend until well combined.
Spoon the batter into 6 lined or oiled muffin tins. Fill them 3/4 of the way, and smooth the tops.
Bake at 350F for approximately 25 minutes.
Remove from the pan and let them cool on a cooling rack.
Once they are completely cool, frost them with the chilled frosting.
Store frosted cupcakes in the fridge.
