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!
Sausage Gravy Stuffed Biscuits
Sausage Gravy Stuffed Biscuits are so unbelievably good and they can be picked up and eaten with your hands. I love turning comfort food into finger food!
These Sausage Gravy Stuffed Biscuits are super easy to make. The simple gravy can be made the night before and refrigerated. This is actually preferable because you want the gravy to get cold and thicken up. That way it is super easy to place a spoonful of it between 2 biscuit pieces without it oozing out everywhere.
These Sausage Gravy Stuffed Biscuits have a hidden pocket of rich and creamy sausage gravy. A delicious and easy southern breakfast!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces bulk country breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
- salt and pepper
- 1 (8-count) tube Grands refrigerated biscuits
- 1 egg, lightly beaten with a little water
Instructions
- Cook sausage in a nonstick skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Sprinkle flour over sausage. Stir and cook 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk.
- Add garlic powder, sage, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until thick.
- Either refrigerate gravy overnight or line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread the gravy thin and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pull each biscuit apart into 2 layers.
- Place a 1-2 tablespoon spoonful of chilled gravy on a biscuit half and top it with another biscuit piece. Seal around the edges and tuck the edges under somewhat so they are less likely to pull apart.
- Repeat for remaining biscuits. Brush top of each biscuit with egg wash.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Note: You will have some leftover gravy. You can thin it with a little milk, microwave until warm and spoon over the cooked biscuits
