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 Soy Sauce Tofu Broccoli Bowl with Sesame Seeds and Ginger - a flavorful, easy, cheap, high protein Asian dinner that is perfect for meal prep. You can make it in less than 45 minutes, too! | The Green Loot #vegan

I remember when I was little, tofu used to be this yucky, alien food that everyone raved about and I never understood why. I took a bite, and all I could taste is some spongy texture that was bland and boring. Why does everyone seems to be in love with this thing? So, I grew up without ever eating tofu again.
Then, I turned vegan. Omg, where do I get my protein? Oh yes, I was completely freaking out (I didn’t know anything about plant protein), and in my desperation I decided to finally try tofu again. Searching and searching for recipes, until I found the answer. Tofu (and soy) is freaking great, you just have to know how to season it.
The first time I made tofu, I made it with my smoky marinade and I have been obsessed with tofu ever since. There was a low point, when I got completely burnt out, but after taking a break from it for a few months I started to miss it and jumped back on the tofu bandwagon.
Vegan Soy Sauce Tofu Broccoli Bowl - a flavorful, easy, cheap, high protein dinner that is perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 head fresh broccoli
  • 2 block firm tofu
  • 1 cup rice*
  • 3 tsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 thumb fresh ginger grated
  • 1 medium garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 6 tbsp soy sauce gluten-free
     

    Instructions

    1. Wash the broccoli, cut into small chunks, then cook in salty water for 10-15 minutes (after boiling). After it's cooked, drain the water.
    2. Cook the rice in salted water as well.
    3. While the broccoli and rice are cooking, prepare the tofu by cutting it into small cubes and frying it with 2 tablespoon olive oil.
    4. Mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar and corn starch with water, 1 tablespoon oil, grated ginger and the garlic cloves in a frying pan, then add the tofu and cooked broccoli.
    5. Place the rice in a bowl and put the tofu-broccoli mix on top.
    6. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on and enjoy!

    Recipe Notes
    *Plain white rice is not very nutritious, to say the least (but it's tastier, in my opinion). If you are going for super healthy, choose from the brown or wild varieties.
