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 OATMEAL CREAM PIES

I’m not even going to attempt to hide it. The 4 sticks of (vegan) butter in the recipe speak for themselves. Friends, get your fat pants out. Seriously though, these oatmeal cream pies are totally worth every delicious, butter-filled calorie.
I first made these cookies almost exactly 1 year ago. And coincidentally, Berney was in a fire academy then too… History seems to be repeating itself. However, both things are slightly different now than they were then…
Last year I made these cookies non-vegan (I was just starting out in my baking adventures and didn’t feel confident enough just yet to start adapting recipes). This year they are now vegan!

Last year Berney was in a college fire academy (and had to pay to learn). This year he’s in a fire academy for a real department for a real career job (and is getting paid to learn).
Last year I loved these oatmeal cream pies and I loved Berney. This year I love these oatmeal cream pies and I love Berney.
Some things change, some things don’t.
Side note: If you’re curious, you can go to my Instagram, scroll down a ways, you’ll find a photo of the non-vegan cream pies I made 1 year ago!

A layer of creamy vanilla filling sandwiched between two soft-baked oatmeal cookies, reminiscent of the Little Debbie's treats we all know and love. This is one vegan indulgence you absolutely must try!

INTRUCTIONS :
  • Cookies
  • 1 ¼ cups (2 ½ sticks) vegan butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Ener-G Egg Replacer egg* (1 ½ teaspoons egg replacer + 2 Tablespoons warm water)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon dark molasses
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3 cups uncooked quick-cooking oats
  • Cream Filling
  • ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) vegan butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
  1. First, make the cookies. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars on medium speed until creamy and light in color. Add Ener-G egg, vanilla and molasses, scraping down the sides as needed. Set aside.
  3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves until thoroughly mixed. Whisk in the quick oats.
  4. With the mixer running on low, slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Dough will be very thick. You will likely need to finish the mixing by hand with a large wooden spoon.
  5. Using a large cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls and drop onto prepared cookie sheet. Each dough ball should be about 3 Tablespoons. Cookies will spread in oven, so space each dough ball about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, until cookies are barely golden around the edges. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cookies cool, make the cream filling. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter for about 1 minute until creamy.
  8. Add powdered sugar and mix on medium speed for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Add almond milk and vanilla, and increase mixing to high for 3-4 minutes until fluffy.
  10. To assemble the cookie sandwiches, spread about 1 ½ Tablespoons of filling on the bottom side of half of the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, bottom sides together.
Notes
*As mentioned above, you can use 1 large egg instead of 1 Ener-G Replacer egg if you don't have that product and don't mind if your cookies aren't vegan.
Leftover oatmeal cream pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 4 days.
