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!

Clean Eating Turkey Taco Loaded Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potatoes fries – I can’t think of any other food in the world that I love as much as them. Ok, not completely true not true at all, I can think of approximately a hundred other things that I love just as much but still! They are very, very high on my list. And yet, it’s the first time I’m posting a sweet potato fries’ recipe on this website of mine and I’m like “HOW ON EARTH IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?!” ???

I’ve got plenty of sweet potato recipes for sure (proof here), but nothing for these perfect, crunchy oven-baked sweet potatoes fries that make my heart sing. And that is weird. Because let me tell you friends, there was a time when we ate SPF at least once a week, until Solal put a stop to it. Now it’s only about once a month but the love is still going strong and this new recipe just strengthened it…
Ingredients
  • Sweet Potato Fries
  • 1.7 lbs / 800 g sweet potatoes about 4 small or 2 medium – Tip: small + non-curvy sweet potatoes are easier to cut into fries
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Taco Meat
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 small garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 onion white or yellow, chopped
  • 1/2 lb / 250 g ground turkey you can also use extra lean ground beef or chicken
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • Salsa
  • 2 heaped cup chopped lettuce I used iceberg lettuce
  • 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 avocado chopped
  • 1 scallion white + green parts, chopped (use two if they are small)
  • Tahini sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp tahini (ground sesame seeds)
  • 1 1/2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
  1. Sweet Potato Fries
  2. Preheat oven to 220C / 430F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Brush the sweet potatoes under cold water to clean them, but keep the skin on. Pat them dry.
  4. If your potatoes are long, cut them in half crosswise. Then, slice them into planks lengthwise. Rotate the planks and slice them into sticks (if this is confusing, check this video).
  5. Place the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl. Add olive oil, sweet paprika and sea salt. Toss with your hands until all the sweet potatoes are well covered.
  6. Arrange sweet potato sticks on prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don't touch (they can be close, but make sure they don't overlap). You don't want them to steam. This is key for crispy and delicious sweet potato fries.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they start to golden, then flip them using a spatula. Bake for another 7 to 10 minutes. All ovens are different so keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn. If the fries start to burn on the sides but are not quite ready yet, reduce the oven temperature to 200C/400F.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve (the other ingredients will be ready by the time they are cooked).
  9. Taco Meat
  10. While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the meat. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When hot, add garlic and onion and cook until onion are translucent and garlic fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add turkey, chili powder, cumin and season lightly with salt. Cook just until no longer pink on the outside, but not fully cooked, breaking down the meat with the side of a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add tomato paste and chicken broth. Stir and cook until liquid reduces and meat is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, set aside and cover with a lid to keep warm.
  11. Salsa
  12. Prepare and chop all the salsa ingredients. In a large bow, combine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, avocado and scallion together. Set aside.
  13. Tahini sauce
  14. In a small bow, combine tahini, water, lemon juice and garlic powder with a spoon until smooth. Season with sea salt to taste.
  15. Putting everything together!
  16. Divide the sweet potato fries into three plates. Top with turkey, then salsa and drizzle with tahini sauce. Serve immediately.
