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!

Honey Glazed Salmon with Citrus Avocado Salsa

The month of January is all about starting new resolutions and becoming healthier. To help us keep up those healthy habits, we have American Heart Month in February. It is a great time to remind us how important our hearts are to keeping our bodies healthy and happy. An important part of keeping our hearts healthy is adding more oh-so important omega-3 fatty acids to our diet.

Honey Glazed Salmon with Citrus Avocado Salsa | Cooking Classy

Did you know that heart disease is currently the leading cause of death in the United States, with over 800,000 lives lost each year?  According to the American Heart Association, one of the simplest preventive measures Americans can take to protect their heart health is to eat fish high in omega-3s, like heart-smart salmon, at least twice a week.
Not only is salmon packed with omega-3’s, it also contains generous amounts of vitamin D and is packed with lean protein. This healthy trio can help reduce cholesterol which in turn can lower your risk of a heart attack by one-third. One third!
Unfortunately, the average American only consumes 3.5 ounces of fish per week, despite the convincing evidence of it’s effect on heart health. This means most of us are not fully reaping the benefits that salmon has to offer.
It’s for these reasons that I have partnered with The Salmon Council, to bring you this amazing salmon recipe. This recipe is healthy and incredibly delicious! It has layers of flavor and each bite will leave you craving another. I love the way the light sweetness of the honey glaze pairs with the orange avocado salsa. If you’d like you can make this without the oranges when they aren’t in season, simply up the avocados to two and replace the one teaspoon of orange zest with an additional tsp of lime zest. Either way you make it you’re going to love it!
Since heart health starts in the kitchen, The Salmon Council is teaming up with Rubbermaid, to help prepare and serve up healthy food. They have some fun products that help you bring your heart-healthy salmon dish on-the-road with you, share it with family and friends and/or wash it down with some fitness-inspiring beverages. I was able to try the following products, and I must say, I’m impressed!
