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!

Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole

This simple make-ahead casserole is kind of like a blueberry pie covered in French toast. Buttery, breakfast-y goodness.


It’s the perfect make-ahead dish, make it the night before and then throw it in the oven in the morning. If you are in a rush though, you don’t have to let the bread soak ALL night–3 hours worked fine for me.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole Recipe
 


Ingredients

  •  8 ounces French bread (I used half of a 1-pound loaf)
  •  4 eggs
  •  1/2 cup milk
  •  1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  •  1 teaspoon vanilla
  •  4 and 1/2 cups blueberries*
  •  1/2 cup sugar
  •  4 teaspoons cornstarch
  •  2 teaspoons cinnamon
  •  2 tablespoons butter, melted (I recommend Land O'Lakes )
  •  powdered sugar, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the French bread diagonally into 10-14 slices, each one about 1/2 or 3/4 inch thick.** Arrange in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, baking powder, and vanilla. Pour slowly over the bread, making sure to get all the bread wet. Turn the slices over and saturate them. Cover completely and chill overnight, or at least a couple hours.
  3. When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a new 9x13 inch pan.
  4. Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in the greased pan. Stir until combined, then spread it out evenly.
  5. Place the bread wettest side down on top of the blueberries in a single layer. Brush with the melted butter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 24-26 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately!

Recipe Notes
*I used frozen blueberries, didn't thaw them at all.
** I sliced mine a little thicker and put mine into a 2-quart pan. Whatever floats your boat.
