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!

PERSIMMON HONEY GINGER TART

The persimmon honey ginger tart is a straightforward and elegant dessert for the winter season! The honey and ginger glaze enhances the natural sweet characteristics of the persimmon, and the custard cream filling provides a nice contrast in texture to the delicate, flaky and crunchy puff pastry tart shell.


Puff Pastry Tart Shells

PUFF PASTRY TART SHELLS

Puff pastry is a quick and easy way to make delicate and crunchy tarts. You can find them in the freezer aisle of the grocery store. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie cutter, create a 4-inch bottom layer, then poke several holes into the dough to prevent the dough from rising too much as it bakes.
For the top layer, cut a 4 inch round, then using a 3″ round, cut a hole out of the center of the 4″ round. Transfer the cutout shells to your baking sheets. Brush the puff pastry with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water). Bake the puff pastry shells until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

The bottom of the tart shell rises as it bakes, so pressing the center gently with a fork makes more room for the custard filling and fruit topping.

CUSTARD FILLING AKA PASTRY CREAM

Custard cream is my absolute favorite filling for any cake or pastry! To make the custard filling for the tarts, heat milk in a medium saucepan with vanilla bean. When the milk reached 90°F/ 32°C, stir in 3 ounces (120g) of sugar.
Allow the milk to come to a boil (simmer and bubble around the edges). In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar with the cornstarch. Place the egg yolk in a separate bowl and add the cornstarch and sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine, leaving no residual cornstarch.

In the bowl containing the egg mixture, temper the egg yolk mixture with the hot milk.

Return the egg mixture to the pan and cook, whisking vigorously until the cream boils and is well thickened.

The custard should not have residual starch flavor, so make sure to taste the custard during the cooking and thickening to ensure the starch is fully cooked. The custard should be creamy, thick, sweet and aromatic from the vanilla beans.
Remove the filling from the heat and chill over an ice bath. Once cooled, transfer the custard to a bowl or pastry bag, cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use. When cooled, fill each tart shell with a generous amount of custard filling.

THE PERSIMMON

Persimmons are ready to eat when the outside shell is slightly soft when you press the skin. Fuyu persimmons can be eaten raw so that you can enjoy the fruit either crunchy or soft. However, the more time the persimmon has to ripen the sweeter and more honey-like the flavor.
Persimmon fruit
To prepare the persimmon slices, cut the fruit into quarters, then remove the skin from the fruit. Thinly slice the persimmons to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wedges.

HONEY GINGER GLAZE

In a small saucepan, steep ginger in the water and honey mixture over medium-low heat, until the mixture reduces by half (1/8 cup). The glaze should be slightly thinner than the honey so that it can be easily brushed on top of the persimmons, yet sticks to the fruit. Generously coat the persimmon slices with the warmed honey ginger glaze

INSTRUCTIONS
Puff Pastry Tart Shell-
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Unfold puff pastry sheet on the work surface covered with parchment paper. It is best to cut the tart shells out when the puff pastry is semi frozen, so it is easy to unroll, cut and layer onto your baking sheet.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Using a cookie cutter, create a 4-inch bottom layer, then poke several holes into the dough to prevent the dough from rising too much as it bakes. Brush with a thin coating of egg wash.
  5. For the top layer, cut a 4 inch round, then using a 3" round, cut a hole out of the center of the 4" round. Place on top of the base. Transfer the cut out shells to the baking sheet.
  6. Brush the puff pastry top with egg wash.
  7. Bake the puff pastry shells until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Custard Filling-
  1. Heat milk in a medium saucepan with vanilla bean.
  2. When the milk reached 90°F/ 32°C, stir in 3 ounces (120g) of sugar.
  3. Allow the milk to come to a boil (simmer and bubble around the edges).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream and sugar with the cornstarch.
  5. Place the egg yolk in a separate bowl and add the cornstarch and sugar mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine, leaving no residual cornstarch.
  6. In the bowl containing the egg mixture, temper the egg yolk mixture with the hot milk. Return the egg mixture to the pan and cook, whisking vigorously until the cream boils and is well thickened. The custard should not have a residual starch flavor.
  7. Remove the filling from the heat, transfer to a bowl and chill over an ice bath, once cooled, cover and keep refrigerated until ready to use. If the custard solidifies after cooling, place the custard in a mixing bowl, then using the whip attachment, beat the mixture until smooth.
Honey Ginger Glaze-
  1. In a small saucepan, steep ginger in the water and honey mixture over medium-low heat, until the mixture reduces by half (1/8 cup). The glaze should be slightly thinner than the honey so that it can be easily brushed on top of the persimmons, yet sticks the fruit.
Tart Assembly-
  1. Fill each tart shell with a generous amount of custard filling.
  2. To prepare the persimmon slices, cut the fruit into quarters, then remove the skin from the fruit. Thinly slice the persimmons to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch wedges.
  3. Arrange the persimmons slices into a cylindrical fan on top of the custard filling.
  4. Generously glaze the persimmon slices with the warmed honey ginger glaze.
