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!

TUNA CAKES WITH JALAPEÑO AND CILANTRO

These yummy Tuna Cakes with Jalapeño and Cilantro are low on carbs and calories and big on flavor!  These can also be gluten free and just as delicious if you swap out almond meal for the breadcrumbs.  Plus, they are made from canned tuna so they’re totally budget friendly!


Basically it comes down to the simple fact that life is busy.  Our time is very precious, and a bit elusive.  We all need quick, easy, inexpensive, delicious, recipes to make for easy weeknight dinners.  Like, for example, my Tuna Cakes.  Think crab cakes but way cheaper, less seafoody and more tasty.

TUNA CAKES WITH JALAPEÑO AND CILANTRO RECIPE



Ingredients
  • 25 ounces canned solid white tuna in water (five 5-ounce cans)
  • 2 large eggs , lightly beaten
  • 1 bunch of fresh cilantro coarsely chopped, plus a few sprigs saved for garnish
  • 1/3 cup , plus 2 tablespoons, plain dry breadcrumbs (or almond meal for a gluten free option)
  • 4 tablespoons Canola mayonnaise (Greek yogurt can be used instead)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 to 1 1/2 lemons)
  • 3 jalapeno chile peppers , finely chopped, ribs and seeds removed unless you like it a little spicy
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons extra light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large strainer, in the sink over a large bowl, add the 5 cans of tuna and let them drain while you prepare the following ingredients.
  2. Sauté the onions for about 8 minutes in a sauté pan, until translucent. Set aside and let cool.
  3. While the onions are cooking, in a large mixing bowl, add the mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper and whisk till combined. Then add cilantro and peppers to the mixture.
  4. Add the tuna, beaten eggs, cooked onions and breadcrumbs, and mix gently until ingredients just hold together.
  5. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil on high for about a minute, then turn it down to medium high.
  6. Working in batches, using a packed one-third cup measure of tuna mixture per cake, cook cakes until golden brown and crisp on the outside, about 3 minutes per side. You may need to add a tablespoon of oil to the pan between batches. Serve hot, or warm over a simple arugula or kale salad. Recipe makes 14-16 patties.
Recipe Notes
  • Scoop the tuna mixture with a one third measuring cup, pat it a little to make sure it's formed tightly, then place it in the sauté pan.
  • Use a grease screen to cut down on the oil splatter while cooking the cakes.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the cakes.  They will take longer and flipping them over will be more difficult.  I use a 10inch Calphalon pan and cook 4 patties at a time.
  • There is not much filler in these cakes, which makes them a little loose. Be sure to gently flip them over when cooking.
