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!

STRAWBERRY CRUNCH CUPCAKES

So right now I’m in the middle of moving, but since Valentine’s Day is upon us I wanted to share with you this delicious and easy recipe for Strawberry Crunch Cupcakes. If you’ve ever had Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars, then you know exactly how the cookie crumb coating on top of these cupcakes tastes (tongue twister lol).
You start off making the strawberry cake batter using a doctored recipe of white cake mix and strawberry gelatin. Then you make a decadent strawberry cream cheese frosting. And you finish off these cupcakes with a strawberry flavored cookie crumb. You can watch me make these cupcakes below:

Ingredients 
  •  1.5 tablespoons of melted butter

  • 1 box of white cake mix (no pudding in mix) 
  • 2 boxes (3 oz each) of strawberry gelatin
  •  1 cup of vegetable oil 
  • ½ cup of milk 4 eggs 
  • ¾ cup of mashed strawberries 
  • 8 oz of cream cheese, softened 
  • ½ cup of unsalted butter, softened 2 tablespoons of milk 1 lb of powdered sugar Red food coloring 
  • 12-24 golden oreos (creme removed and crushed)
Instructions 
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2.  Mix cake mix, 1 box of gelatin, vegetable oil, milk, ½ cup of mashed strawberries and eggs in a large bowl.
  3.  Pour cake batter into cupcake lined pan. Bake cupcakes for 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 
  4. Allow cupcakes to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and allow them to cool completely. 
  5. To make frosting: In another bowl beat butter, cream cheese and ⅓ cup of mashed strawberries. 
  6. Add in powdered sugar and milk gradually. Add a few drops of red food coloring to get desired shade of pink. Beat on high until frosting is smooth. 
  7. To make crumb topping: Mix crushed oreos with half a box of strawberry gelatin and 1.5 tablespoons of melted butter. Frost cupcakes with spatula and dip cupcakes into crumb mixture to coat.
