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!

Sweet Potato Fries
This is a sponsored post from Pulte Homes. As always, all opinions are my own. #PulteHomes #PulteSmartHome
I was so excited when I was invited by Pulte Homes to tour their latest smart home technologies at the Atwater community in Sandy Springs, Georgia. I was even more excited when I found out Chef Tregaye Fraser would be treating us to a live food demonstration with Whirlpool smart appliances.
When I pulled into the neighborhood I was impressed by the beautiful community. It’s in a great part of town located just outside of Atlanta and so close to everything. The home was stunning with amazing natural light coming through the windows. I loved the open concept plan and of course the incredible kitchen with a waterfall island and floor to ceiling cabinets. No joke, I texted my husband that we needed to put our house on the market and move into this one. ðŸ™‚

The best part about this Pulte home is that it’s smart. Using simple voice commands or the phone you can lock your door, control the lights, turn on the oven and change the thermostat. So amazing! The home buyers also have the flexibility to choose the smart features they want when they want them allowing them to add smart technologies that best fit their lifestyle at any point without cost, disruption or hassle of retrofitting a house. 
Every new Pulte home will come pre-wired for connectivity and the ability to add smart technology. They have partnered with companies like Whirlpool, NEST, LiftMaster, Schlage, Amazon Echo and Sonos to name a few. White glove professional installation is also available. This allows homeowners to enjoy their connected home without the stress of setting it up or configuration.

HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO FRIES:

Now it’s time for these tasty sweet potato fries. Chef Tregaye walked us through three of her favorite dishes including black bean burgers, chicken bites topped with guacamole and sweet potato fries.

Chef Tregaye demonstrated her chopping technique along with how she uses the Whirlpool smart oven technology to bake the potatoes. The Whirlpool oven in this smart home can be controlled by touch screen, voice command or an app on your cell phone. How cool is that?! She asked Amazon Echo to turn the oven on to 400 degrees F and voila, it turned on.

CHEF TREGAYE’S TIPS:

  • To help your fresh herbs last longer, dampen a paper towel and wrap around herbs. Store in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. I used this to keep my parsley nice and fresh.
  • Toast your spices! This helps bring out the flavor of the spices. Place them in a pan on low for 1-2 minutes before using. I toasted the chili spice for just a minutes before sprinkling on the fries.
  • Use Himalayan sea salt. Chef Tregaye said she uses this salt for everything, even baking.
  • Make sure you use a sharp knife. This makes a big difference when cutting the sweet potatoes into strips.
  • Spread out the fries on the pan and avoid over crowding. This helps them become crispy on the outside.

To make the baked sweet potato fries, cut off the ends of each sweet potato and peel off the skin with either a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Cut into thin strips or your desired fry thickness. I like mine a little on the thinner side so that they get crispy on the outside.
Place them in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and then season with salt, pepper and chili powder. Give them a good toss to make sure they are coated. Arrange the fries on a pan and place in the oven. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, flipping them over after 15 minutes.

Finish them with a little sprinkle of fresh, chopped parsley. I served mine with a dipping sauce made with mayonnaise and ketchup.
