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!

COOKIES AND CREAM ROLLS

These cookies and cream rolls transform a simple yeasted bread dough into a magical and delicious treat! 
I have my wedding gown hanging in our guest room closet. I have my first fitting/alteration appointment in a month. I have these warm, fresh from the oven cookies and cream rolls sitting in the kitchen.
Any pre-wedding diet I had goes out the door this week. I’m done. These cookies and cream rolls win this battle.

For me, food has always been associated with memories. Tasting certain flavors, smelling familiar aromas sends me into a time machine. A bowl of sugary cereal takes me back to elementary school. Seasoned curly fries and pumpkin pie shakes from Jack in the Box reminds me of late night food runs during my college years at UCLA. The oh too familiar scent of cinnamon rolls baking in the oven makes me think of my dad.
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
  • 1/2 cup warm water, 110 degrees F
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup + 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large yolk
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, cut into tablespoons
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped Oreo cookies

Filling:
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup finely chopped Oreo cookies
  • Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of fine sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • finely chopped Oreo cookies, to garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. DOUGH: Sprinkle yeast over warm water. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 5-7 minutes to allow mixture to bubble and activate.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together yeast mixture, warm milk, remaining sugar, egg, and egg yolk. Whisk salt into flour. Add 2 cups of flour to mixing bowl. Use the dough hook attachment to mix together. Add another 1 cup of flour. Continue to knead on low speed while adding softened butter 1 Tbsp at a time. Add remaining cup of flour and knead until dough is smooth and cleans the sides of the bowl. Add chopped cookies and mix until evenly distributed.
  3. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for about an hour until dough has doubled in volume.
  4. Punch down risen dough. Transfer to a clean working surface. Roll dough into a 20 x 14- inch rectangle.
  5. FILLING: Spread 1/3 cup softened butter over dough. Sprinkle sugar and chopped cookies on top. Gently press until dough.
  6. Starting at the long side, roll dough into a log. Slice log into 12 equal parts. Place rolls into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan (quarter sheet pan size) . Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30-45 minutes at room temperature to allow roll to rise.
  7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap and bake rolls for 30-33 minutes until golden brown on top and the internal temperature of the rolls hit 185 degrees F. Allow rolls to rest for 5 minutes to slightly cool before frosting.
  8. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread over warm rolls. Top with chopped Oreo cookies.
