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!

Persian Lubia Polo (green bean rice) is a complete meal with an amazing taste, so quick and easy to prepare, with good protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups basmati rice white, rinsed* (recommend 1 ⅓ cup white rice + 2/3 cup brown basmati rice, rinsed*)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion medium, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic , grated
  • 1 pound lamb , ground, 90% lean
  • 1 teaspoon advieh (Persian spice mix or alternative mixed spice)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper , ground, adjust per taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin , ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme or savory, dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt , adjust as needed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon powder , dried or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 pound green beans , cut into 1/2 inch
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1/3 teaspoon saffron , powdered and dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. If using white and brown rice
  2. Bring 1 ⅓* cups of water to a rolling boil in a sauce pan. Add 1/8 teaspoon salt and 3/4 tablespoon olive oil. Then add 2/3 cup brown basmati rice, stir and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to cook until all the water is absorbed for about 30 to 40 minutes.
  3. In a cooking pot, bring 4 cups of water and 3/4 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add the white basmati rice and let it boil at medium high heat for 5-6 minutes until the rice grains are soft. Make sure to stir the rice while it is cooking. Drain the rice well in a colander and set aside.
  4. If using only white rice
  5. Bring 6 cups of water and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Add the rice and allow it to boil at medium high heat for about 5 to 6 minutes until the rice grains are soft. Stir the rice in between. Drain the rice and set aside.
  6. If using a RICE COOKER, you may cook the rice with 3 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Assemble rice with meat/green beans
  8. Heat 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil at medium setting in a cooking pot. Add the chopped onions and sauté few minutes. Then add the grated garlic and continue to sauté until the onions are light golden brown.
  9. Add the ground lamb and sauté. Then add all the spices, dried herbs, remaining salt (advieh through lemon powder) and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green beans.
  10. Next add the tomato paste and mix it well. If the mixture is too thick, may add a tiny bit of water, cover and let it simmer until the beans are 3/4th done. It will continue to cook in the steaming process in the next steps. Make sure that the mixture is not too wet.
  11. Place the cooked rice with the sautéed meat/green bean mixture in several alternating layers in a heavy bottomed cooking pot. Sprinkle 3/4 tablespoon olive oil and saffron water all over.
  12. Turn up the heat to medium high for about 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to the low setting and simmer for about 20 minutes or more until the steam builds up well.
  13. (Alternatively, you could also layer the rice with meat/green beans and steam it together in a RICE COOKER).
  14. Once the rice is ready, turn off the heat. Gently mix the layers of the Persian Green bean rice.
  15. Serve this Persian Lubia Polo with a yogurt salad such as Persian Yogurt Dip with Shallots or a green salad, pickles and/or pickled olives.
  16. Alternative easier method if using white and brown rice
  17. Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil. Add the brown rice first. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Then add the white basmati rice to the same pot. Let it all simmer till the grains are well done. 
  18. Proceed with the remaining steps as above for the Persian Lubia Polo. But skip sprinkling the 3/4 tablespoon oil after layering the white/brown rice mixture with the sautéed meat/green bean mixture.
RECIPE NOTES
I used 1 ½ times volume of water to cook the brown rice. But if you need double the volume then try that, as it can vary with the age of the rice.
Cooking time and water used for white basmati rice may vary with the age of rice.
Rinse the basmati rice several times, until the water is clear and not starchy.
The amount of water added while cooking the rice is very important to the final texture of this recipe.
It is important to keep in mind the additional moisture from the other ingredients added to this Persian Green bean rice, such as the tomato paste, green beans and onions. Therefore, in the first step, the rice should be cooked in a way to yield a fluffy rice, but holds its shape well and is not too wet and delicate.
If using both white and brown rice, then I prefer to cook both separately before layering with the meat/green beans, as I can control the cooking of the various grains optimally.
