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!

Easy Silky Crème Caramel aka Leche Flan or Caramel Custard

Edit
I can’t think of anything simpler to make than this easy silky smooth crème caramel also known as leche flan or caramel custard.  It’s a luscious dessert topped with caramel syrup that will have everyone asking for seconds.   A recipe that can easily be halved, it uses just four whole large eggs.
Caramel custard can be steamed on the stove top, but since I don’t have a steamer, I baked mine in a bain marie.

A simple and easy recipe for silky crème caramel also known as leche flan or caramel custard will have everyone asking for more.

Ingredients
  • For the caramel syrup:
  • 1 cup sugar (210 g)
  • ¼ cup water (65 g)
  • For the custard:
  • 4 large whole eggs
  • 2 cans evaporated milk (12 fl oz / 354 ml per can)
  • 2 cans sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 397 g per can)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Equipment needed:
  • 4 -5 oven proof pyrex baking dishes or ramekins – preferably smaller than 5 inches in diameter
  • Water bath (bain marie) – roasting pan or lasagna pan large enough to hold the baking dishes
  • Tongs for uncovering the baking dishes
  • Food processor or wire whisk

Directions
  1. Position the baking rack to the lowest level just above the heating element. Preheat oven to 350°F. Have your oven proof baking dishes and the large pan for the water bath ready.
  2. For the caramel syrup:
  3. Pour the water over the sugar in a small sauce pot. Swirl the pot to dampen the sugar. You don’t have to stir. Turn the heat on to medium high and let the mixture boil. After about 8 – 10 minutes, when the syrup starts to turn a light golden amber color, remove the pot from the heat and divide the syrup among the baking dishes. Pour syrup just enough to coat the bottom of each baking dish. The caramel will harden within a few seconds.
  4. For the custard:
  5. Prepare the hot water for the water bath. Fill a kettle with water and let boil while you prepare the crème caramel.
  6. Give the eggs a few quick pulses in a food processor to blend. Add one can of evaporated milk and pulse together with the eggs. Then add the rest of the evaporated milk, the condensed milk and the vanilla extract. Pulse until well blended. Run a knife or spatula to break up any foam or bubbles on the surface. The fewer the bubbles, the smoother the custard will be.
  7. Pour the milk mixture over the hardened caramel syrup in each baking dish. Cover each dish with aluminum foil. Arrange the baking dishes in a large pan. Place the pan in the oven then pour the entire kettle of hot water into the water bath. Make sure to wear oven mitts to avoid burning yourself.
  8. Bake for 65 minutes covered. Lower the temperature to 300°F. Wear your oven mitts and remove the foil from each baking dish using a pair of long tongs. Bake for an additional 30 – 35 minutes uncovered.
  9. The custard is done when the edges are firm. If you give it a shake and the center wobbles just slightly, it’s ok as it will continue to set from the internal heat. The color will be a very pale yellow just slightly darker than before it was baked.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the baking dishes cool completely. Ideally, let them chill in the fridge covered overnight before turning out.
  11. Slide a knife around the edge of each baking dish. Place a plate on top and invert the dish to turn out the crème caramel. If the crème caramel doesn’t slide out right away, don’t worry, just run the knife around the edge again. Sometimes there is a suction that holds the custard, but once that is broken by sliding the knife around the edge again, it will detach from the dish very easily.
  12. Use an overturned bowl to cover each custard and keep chilled.
