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!

SKILLET BEEF AND BROCCOLI RAMEN

he best way to enjoy beef and broccoli — over ramen noodles! As soon as the weather starts cooling down I am all about soups, casseroles, and comfort food. And pasta definitely equals comfort food.

So beef and broccoli with all the noodles is absolutely a cool-weather-comfort-food-win. Although, let’s be honest, I’m definitely never going to limit this meal to just cooler weather. This is a new family favorite!

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons vegetable oil separated
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic separated
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce separated
  • 1 tablespoon Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 3/4 pound flank steak
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar**
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 cup beef broth*
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) ramen noodles
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: green onions, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds


Instructions
  1. Very thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4th inch thick strips and then into 2 inch pieces. Put the steak pieces in a large ziploc bag.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped Italian parsley.
  3. Whisk together and pour over the flank steak in the bag.
  4. Seal and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour and preferably 6-8+ hours (no more than 12 hours). Flip the steak in the bag halfway through the marinating time.
  5. Boil a small pot of water and cook the ramen noodles for exactly 2 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
  6. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized even pieces.
  7. Remove the flank steak and drain off any remaining marinade. Toss the steak to coat with the cornstarch.
  8. In a large skillet over high heat, add in 1 tablespoon of the remaining vegetable oil. Heat until the oil is shimmering and then add in 1/2 the beef so it can be in a single layer.
  9. Cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Continue cooking while stirring until the beef is lightly cooked but still pink in spots, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
  10. Add in the last remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Add the remaining beef and cook without moving until the beef is well seared, about 1-1/2 minutes. Cook for another 30 seconds.
  11. Transfer the rest of the beef to the plate.
  12. In the same skillet, add the beef broth, brown sugar, remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, remaining garlic, and ginger.
  13. Stir and cook (uncovered) over medium heat until sauce thickens a bit and reduces by about a third (about 5-8 minutes). You don't want to reduce it too much so it can still generously coat all the noodles & veggies.
  14. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, top the mixture evenly with the broccoli (don't stir in). Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
  15. Allow the broccoli to steam until crisp tender about 3 minutes or to desired tender-ness.
  16. Remove the lid, add in the cooked pasta and cooked meat.
  17. Stir and top with desired toppings: green onions, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds.
  18. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes
*You can make your own "beef broth" by using the seasoning packets from the Ramen noodles. **Not packed -- add slowly. I've gotten a few comments about it being too sweet (I like beef and broccoli sweet!) so add the sugar slowly and to taste preference.ac
