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!

Muddy Buddy Peanut Butter Cookies

Your favorite snack made into a cookie! Muddy buddy peanut butter cookies are a soft & thick peanut butter cookie with a chocolate center, and dusted in powdered sugar. Perfect dessert or even better for a Christmas cookie plate. These may look hard but they are really very simple!
Have you ever had muddy buddies before? You know that classic snack mix made with chex cereal and then it’s coated in a peanut butter & chocolate mixture and you shake it all together with some powdered sugar. 

Each little chex mix square is coated with that sweet powdered sugar and it is so good! I remember we would make it all the time when I was little and my favorite part was shaking the Ziploc bag to coat the cereal.

For some reason, I think I’ve only made it once since having kids. My son had it at a birthday party when he was in kindergarten and he begged me for days afterwards to make it at our house. I finally did and it was just as good as I remember 🙂 

These cookies are identical to the muddy buddies in taste. You get a rich peanut butter cookie, with a chocolate center, and then powdered sugar gets sprinkled over it all. It’s muddy buddies but in cookie form!

Your favorite snack made into a cookie! Muddy buddy peanut butter cookies are a soft & thick peanut butter cookie with a chocolate center, and dusted in powdered sugar. Perfect dessert or even better for a Christmas cookie plate. These may look hard but they are really very simple!

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper or spraying with cooking spray.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or use a handheld blender, blend together the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and light in color. Add in egg and blend to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir with a wire whisk. Add to the wet ingredients and blend just until combined.
  4. Shape into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. You can fit 15 to each cookie sheet because they won't spread much at all.
  5. Bake 8 minutes. Immediately after cooking, take a small cup and gently press down on the cookie. This will flatten them as well as give those pretty crinkly edges.
  6. Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, Melt chocolate chips and canola oil in microwave-safe bowl for 2 minutes. Stirring every 30 seconds.
  8. Immediately use a spoon and place a tablespoonful of chocolate onto each cookie and spread around.
  9. Let chocolate set and cool completely (about 2 hours) before dusting with powdered sugar. To speed up the chocolate cooling and hardening, place cookies in the fridge or the freezer.
