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!

SYMPLEST COCONUT CURRY NOODLE SOUP

SYMPLEST COCONUT CURRY NOODLE SOUP

This Coconut Curry Noodle Soup is a bit of a departure from our normal fare. It’s has a bit of Thai influence, making use of Thai red curry paste and coconut milk. If that’s not enough for you.

Here are a few of the other things this noodle soup has going for it:
It’s incredibly simple to make, taking only about 15 minutes from start to finish (No joke. We’re not playing games here).
Despite the speediness of its assembly, it has an amazingly complex, flavor. The richness of the coconut milk, the spicy of the curry paste, the tangy bite of the lime, the funky awesomeness of the fish sauce…I’ll stop there, because I’m basically acting like an incredibly annoying Iron Chef judge right now.
It can all be made in one…count ’em ONE…pot. Most noodle soups at least require you to boil the noodles in a separate pot, not to mention the other elements of the dish, but not this one. Because it uses thin rice noodles, you can just throw them into the pot at the end and serve almost immediately, or put the dried noodles in a bowl and pour the broth over the top.
It is a restaurant quality dish. If I was given this noodle soup at a restaurant, I would gladly fork over ten bucks for it, and probably go back the next day for another bowl.15 Minute Coconut Curry Noodle Soup Recipe
