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!

Vegan Moroccan Meatball Pitas

Vegan Moroccan meatball pitas are healthy, easy and beautiful. This meal is good for you and still insanely comforting and filling. The “meatballs” are made from tempeh with delicious Moroccan spices added into the mixture. They are so good all on their own. However, I made some garlic turmeric tahini dressing to go in these pitas, and I insist you do the same.

If you are short on time though, and you don’t mind the flavor of tempeh, you can just throw it into the food processor. Then roasted red peppers, bread crumbs and lots of good spice go into the mix. These Moroccan meatballs are to die for!

Ingredients
  • Moroccan Tempeh Meatballs
  • 8 oz. Tempeh
  • 1 1/2-2 C. Veggie broth
  • 2 Tbsp. Flax meal
  • 3 Tbsp. Water
  • 3/4 C. Panko bread crumbs
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 1/3 C. Roasted red peppers, from a jar
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 1 tsp. Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. Cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. Ginger, dry
  • 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Garlic Turmeric Tahini Dressing
  • 1/4 C. Tahini
  • 1/4 C. Water
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Turmeric
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • For Serving
  • Pita bread, vegan
  • Arugula
  • Red onion, sliced

Instructions
  1. Break the tempeh up into chunks and add them to a small sauce pan, and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and pepper. Add the veggie broth to the sauce pan, just enough to cover the tempeh. About 1-2 cups. 
  2. Heat on medium high. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, simmer for about 10 minutes. Then drain the tempeh, disposing of the veggie broth. Then set the tempeh aside to let it cool. 
  3. Now, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 
  4. While the tempeh is cooling, make a flax egg. Whisk together the flax meal and water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken. 
  5. When the tempeh is cool enough to handle, add it to a food processor. Then add in the flax egg, the bread crumbs, garlic, roasted red peppers, and all the spices. 
  6. Process the mixture, pulsing and scraping down the sides as needed until the mixture comes together and everything is very finely chopped. It should hold together in a ball very easily. This make take a few minutes. It should look a lot like ground meat. 
  7. Now, spray a sheet pan with non stick spray. Next, form the tempeh mixture into balls. Take about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the mixture, squeeze together then roll into a ball with the palms of your hands. 
  8. Place each ball on the baking sheet. Once you have all the mixture made into balls and on the pan, spray the tops with more non stick spray.  It should make about 12-14 meatballs. 
  9. Bake the tempeh meatballs at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes, then flip and bake for 10 more minutes. 
  10. While the tempeh meatballs are baking, make the dressing. Add all the ingredients for garlic turmeric tahini dressing into a small mixing bowl, then whisk until fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside. 
  11. Once the meatballs are baked through, spread some pita bread with the dressing then add some arugula a few of the meatballs, drizzle with more dressing and add red onion or more red peppers or both! 
Recipe Notes
You can skip boiling the tempeh first if you want. I have made these with both boiled and raw tempeh and it is good either way. It just gets rid of the bitterness if you boil it first.

Make sure you are just draining the tempeh if you do boil it, don't add the veggie broth to the meatball mixture.

You can put the boiled tempeh in the freezer for a minute to cool off faster.
