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!

Cheesy Pesto Chicken Stuffed Shells

Edit
This is what comfort food is all about! Pasta shells stuffed with a mixture of ricotta cheese and pesto chicken, baked in a simple white sauce, and topped with extra Mozzarella cheese.
I’m still enjoying this beautiful weather we’ve been having. Opening the door to take little man to school in the morning has been heavenly. That gentle, cool air is just a pleasure, and riding with windows down is something I missed since last February.

I’m trying not to ruin it by reminding myself that this is Florida and there is no way that beautiful fall weather will be sticking around long in September, but I just love not having hot, sticky air punching me in the face the second I open the front door. July and August have been positively miserable, I’m so over it and that’s why I’ve been ecstatic at this nice change of weather. I just want to eat breakfast and dinner outside every day.

I didn’t forget about lunch, it just still gets a bit hot in the middle of the day. Definitely too soon for lunch outside. May be in a month or so. Who knows, may be we will actually have nice cool holidays this year. Not like last year, when we were having 90-degree weather in December.

Ingredients
  • 20-22 jumbo pasta shells
  • Pesto chicken mixture:
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Italian cheese mix
  • Ricotta mixture:
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Italian cheese mix
  • 1 garlic clove pressed
  • 5-6 basil leaves
  • Salt
  • Sauce:
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 3 Tbsp dry Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese
  • *Optional: fresh grated Parmesan cheese when serving

Instructions
  1. Cook pasta shells al dente, drain and set aside. *Tip: I like to cook 2-3 extra shells just in case some get damaged as they cook. (So you can cook 25, just in case.)
  2. Cook chicken in a pan, over medium heat, seasoned with some salt and pepper. Once chicken is done, take it out and let it cool enough to be handled. Once it's cooled, dice the chicken.
  3. Preheat oven to 375. Lightly grease a 9x13 casserole dish.
  4. In one mixing bowl, combine diced, cooked chicken, olive oil, Italian cheese mix and pesto. Mix very well and set side.
  5. In another mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for ricotta mixture. Mix until all smooth and set aside.
  6. In a sauce pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until combined. Start adding milk slowly while still whisking so that the mixture is smooth. Add salt, pepper and dry Parmesan cheese. Bring sauce to simmer, stirring often.
  7. Pour sauce all over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  8. Stuff each shell with some ricotta mixture, filling them about 1/3 full, and then some pesto chicken mixture.
  9. Nestle stuffed shells in the casserole dish, in the sauce, one right next to the other.
  10. Spread mozzarella cheese over the top of stuffed shells.
  11. Bake for about 20 minutes.
  12. *You can grate some Parmesan cheese right over the cooked shells as you serve it.
