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!

Cannoli (Shell and Filling Recipes)

Who doesn’t love an authentic, made with love, cannoli? They may require a little more effort than some other desserts but they are well worth it! That flaky, crisp shell enclosing this decadently creamy, sweet ricotta filling which is dotted with dark chocolate chips is pure bliss! They are dessert done right.

Some of you may look at this recipe of cannoli filling, and say, “no that’s not how it’s done. Cannoli filling is made with an all ricotta filling, no mascarpone, some orange zest and plenty of marsala.”

Well, when was the last time I stuck exactly to the way things are done? If that’s how you like them though, by all means do it, I just made them how I prefer! This is also how to make cannoli according to the ingredients I have. :) I don’t keep wine on hand, and I didn’t want to make a special trip to a liquor store for just 1/2 cup for these cannoli, so I improvised and no one would notice the difference. These cannoli taste just like the ones I’ve gotten at Italian bakeries.



Ingredients
Shells
2 cups (10 oz) all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp (1 oz) unsalted butter, diced into tiny pieces
1/2 cup (4 oz) white grape juice*
1 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar*
2 large egg yolks
1 egg white
Vegetable oil , for frying

Filling


15 oz . whole milk ricotta , strained**
8 oz Mascarpone (I recommend BelGioioso)
2/3 cup (3 oz) powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Melted chocolate , chopped pistachios, mini chocolate chips, powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
For the filling:

In a mixing bowl, using a rubber or silicone spatula, blend together Ricotta and Mascarpone cheese while running and pressing mixture along bottom of bowl to remove any lumps. Fold in powdered sugar. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover and chill 30 minutes, or until ready to use. Pour into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip to fill shells.

For the shells:

In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add butter and using your fingertips work butter into mixture until it starts to become sandy. Add grape juice, vinegar, and egg yolks and stir with a wooden spoon until it starts to come together. Then mix and knead by hand to make a nearly smooth ball. Divide into two equal portions, flatten into disks then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Heat a large pot with 1 1/2-inches vegetable oil to 360 degrees. Working with one disk at a time, roll dough out very thinly onto a well floured surface (nearly 1/16-inch). Using a 3 1/2 to 4-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds. Spray cannoli forms with cooking spray then wrap dough circles around cannoli forms, while brushing 3/4-inch of the end lightly with egg white to seal shell shut.
