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!

Stuffed Focaccia

Edit

Stuffed Focaccia
A most warming and fragrant rustic bread stuffed with Spinach, Parmesan, Olives, Mozzarella & Herbs... I can only describe this as moreish – you can’t get enough of it!

Serves 6
Prep time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
450g/16oz Strong Plain White Flour, sifted
7g/2 tsp dried yeast
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
300 ml warm water
100g/3 ½ oz spinach
125g/4 ½ oz mozzarella cheese, chopped
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
4 tbsp/16 kalamata olives, pitted & chopped
2 tsp thyme leaves
1 tsp rosemary, chopped (plus extra for decoration)
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Sea salt for sprinkling

Method

1.  Place the flour in a large bowl and mix in the yeast, make a well in the centre and pour in the oil and water.  Mix together.

2.  Do not worry if the dough is too wet and sticky just add extra flour.  Knead the mixture on to a floured surface for at least 10 minutes until you have smooth and elastic dough. Put the dough into an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 ½ hours until it has almost doubled in size.

3.  Meanwhile blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water.  Squeeze the spinach to remove all excess water and place in a bowl with the mozzarella, olives, thyme and rosemary. Season and mix well.

4.  Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7.  Brush a 25cm loose cake tin with oil. Punch the dough and divide it into two pieces, roll one piece slightly bigger than the other.  Place the larger piece on the bottom of the tin and mould the dough around the sides so it is slightly higher than the base.

5.  Spread the spinach mixture over the base and leave a gap 1cm from the edge.  Brush the edge with water and place the other rolled piece of dough on top pressing the edges to seal.

6.  With your finger press the dough all over and pierce in places with small snips of rosemary and then brush with extra virgin olive oil.  Sprinkle the bread with sea salt and place in the oven for 30 minutes until risen and firm.

7.  Remove the focaccia from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes in the tin and then place on a wire rack to cool slightly.  Serve whilst warm.
