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!
4 Ingredients Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls

Talk about easy recipes! These 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls are at the top of my list. As soon as I saw this no-bake recipe on Food Network I knew I had to make them!
Please tell me that I’m not the only person that always forgets to set out the cream cheese when creating in the kitchen! One fabulous thing about this recipe is that the cream cheese doesn’t have to be at room temperature before you start. Woot!
These cheesecake balls have a hint of peanut butter, which is perfect if you like peanut butter.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cheesecake Balls
- 2-8 ounce chilled Cream Cheese
- 1 cup creamy Honey-Roasted Peanut Butter
- 1 package of Almond Bark
- Crushed Honey-Roasted Peanuts (optional)
INTRUCTIONS :
- Place your cream cheese and peanut butter in your mixer and whip together using your paddle attachment.
- Using a medium scoop, drop your balls of cheesecake mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours (or until solid).
- Place the almond bark in a bowl and microwave for 90 seconds. Stir and, if needed, heat an additional 15 seconds until it’s smooth and creamy. (Pay close attention to your almond bark when you’re melting it. It may look like it hasn’t melted when it really has – stir, stir, stir.)
- Using a fork, dip the cheesecake balls into the almond bark. Tap your fork on the side of your bowl to remove the excess almond bark. Place back on your parchment lined sheet and quickly sprinkle with the crushed peanuts (they harden fast). Refrigerate until it’s time to serve.
