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!

Meatballs with Creamy Tomato Sauce
Meatballs with Creamy Tomato Sauce are a mash-up of our two favorite meals at home. We love tender, juicy Swedish meatballs and the creamy blush sauce we use with Angel Hair pasta so combining the two into one delectable dish was the perfect next step.
If you’re looking for a weeknight dinner that’s easy to prep yet full on flavor, this beef meatballs in tomato sauce recipe is a keeper. With moist and flavorful meatballs swimming in a creamy and tangy gravy, it’s a guaranteed family pleaser!
Not only are they a sure crowd favorite, these meatballs are versatile, too. There are so many delicious ways to enjoy them!
They make a fantastic appetizer for a party, are amazing between toasted french roll as a sandwich, and delicious served over steamed rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.
Tips on How to Make Homemade Meatballs
  • These meatballs are a mix of equal parts ground beef and ground pork for extra juicy texture.
  • Use fresh bread soaked in milk or broth instead of dry breadcrumbs as a binder. This soaked bread paste or panade adds moisture for more tender meatballs.
  • Grate the onions instead of chopping. This makes the meatballs juicier, more flavorful and with no chunks of onions to bite into.
  • Use a scoop to easily and evenly portion out the meat and then roll into round shapes between the palm of hands. If the meat is sticking, rinse hands with cold water between shaping. I also find chilling the mixture beforehand makes it easier to roll into meatballs.
  • Chill the meatballs just until firm to help them keep shape during frying.
How to Do You Make Meatballs in the Oven
I pan-fried the meatballs in the pan but you can always bake them in the oven to brown and just finish them off in the sauce.
Arrange the meatballs in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake in a 400 F oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned and no longer pink
With a spatula, carefully remove meatballs from the pan and use in the recipe.
Whether pan-frying or baking, don’t cook the meatballs all the way through as they will simmer in the sauce.
