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!

QATARI HAREES (BEATEN WHEAT AND CHICKEN)

Qatari Harees is a delectable main dish made with beaten wheat and chicken. There are similar dishes all over the region that go by similar or different names. I made one very similar for Oman but it was made with beaten rice instead of wheat. It is a true comfort food and you should also make the Qatari khubz arabi for an authentic experience. You will use the bread to scoop up the Qatari harees with your hand.




As Qatar is one of the wealthiest nations on earth, you can truly get just about any cuisine in the world when visiting the capital city of Doha. However when I travel, I like to immerse myself in the culture and traditions of the nation. This Qatari harees is an authentic dish that is beloved and you can get a taste of Qatar without even leaving home. It is often eaten during the holy month of Ramadan. If you are visiting Qatar the best place to try it is in a souq which is like a mall with all sorts of different stalls of goods and food, unless of course you get invited into a local’s home for a meal.

Did you know that only 12 percent of the population are Qatari? The rest are foreigners brought in for work mainly in the oil and gas sectors as well as hospitality. If you would like to learn more about the tiny nation, be sure to check out “Our Journey to Qatar” . You will be able to also get more delicious recipes including the khubz arabi (Arabian Bread). Actually the national dish for Qatar is Machboos ( a spiced rice dish with meat) which I made for Bahrain which would also be a wonderful choice if making a Qatari meal.

This recipe calls for harees which is a whole wheat, you can find this at your Middle Eastern store or here on Amazon. Also you need to soak the wheat overnight so be sure to plan ahead when you want to make your Qatari harees.
