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!

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO STUFFED SHELLS

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO STUFFED SHELLS
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells include tender pasta shells filled with a cheesy shredded chicken and broccoli mixture and smothered in an easy homemade alfredo sauce. 
There are two things I can’t get enough of during my pregnancy so far: cheese, and pasta!
I can’t tell you how many times my sweet husband has made spaghetti for me, and I pretty much lived off of quesadillas during my first trimester.
I could eat this amazing One Pan Baked Ziti every single night, and since I’m the one usually in charge of dinner, we’ve been having all of my favorite cheesy pastas lately
I love that it’s a meal my kids will always eat happily, without me having to beg them to finish their dinner. My husband was a particular fan of these Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells. The name pretty much says it all.
You can whip these up even faster if you use a rotisserie chicken. (Thank you Costco, for your amazing 5 dollar rotisserie chickens that I use in so many meals!) Hope you all enjoy this yummy pasta as much as my family does!

MAKE AHEAD AND FREEZER DIRECTIONS:
This recipe makes for an excellent freezer meal. Assemble the dish following the recipe directions but don’t bake them! Consider using a disposable container or aluminum pan. Once the meal is assembled, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap and then a double layer of aluminum foil.
Freeze this meal for up to 2 months! When your ready to enjoy it, remove it from the freezer and allow it to thaw in the fridge for 24 hours. remove the plastic wrap, cover it back up with tinfoil, and baked 45 minutes or until warmed through and bubbly. Remove the tinfoil for 15 minutes before it’s finished baking to allow the cheese to get bubbly!

  3. Slowly add the egg mixture to the saucepan and stir to combine. Remove from heat. 
  4. Stir in Parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, add chicken, broccoli, and 1/2 cup alfredo sauce. Toss to combine. 
  6. Add a spoonful of alfredo sauce to the bottom of a 9x13'' pan. Fill shells with a large spoonful of chicken and broccoli mixture and place in prepared pan.
  7. Pour remaining alfredo sauce evenly over the shells. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees F. for about 25 minutes or until warm and bubbly.
