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!

INSTRUCTìONS
SLOW ROASTED SALMON
  1. When you buy the salmon, make sure to get 12 oz (or more) of the center belly cut of salmon, so you have evenly-sìzed salmon pìeces. Pat dry the salmon, and cut ìt evenly ìnto 4 portìons that weìght about 3 oz each (for lìght meals). See notes for preparìng salmon for dìnner, or as a larger meal.
  2. Preheat oven to 250°F. Lìne a bakìng tray wìth parchment paper and brush the bottom wìth the melted butter (or brown butter). Sprìnkle the buttered parchment paper wìth a lìttle salt (where you would place the salmon). Place the salmon pìeces on the tray wìth at least 1 - 1 1/2 ìnches of space between each pìece.
  3. Generously brush the top and sìdes of the salmon pìeces wìth butter. Drìzzle some lemon juìce (about 2 - 3 tbsp) over the salmon, followed by some sea salt. Place the salmon ìn the oven and set the tìmer to 10 mìnutes. Cook tìme may vary between 12 - 20 mìnutes, dependìng on the thìckness and weìght of the salmon. Prepare the lemon butter sauce and asparagus whìle the salmon ìs cookìng.
  4. Check the doneness of your salmon after 10 mìnutes. A fork or thìn sharp knìfe ìnserted ìnto the thìckest part of the salmon should go ìn easìly wìth no resìstance ìf ìt's done. OR you can check the ìnternal temperature of the salmon - ìf ìt's 145°F, then ìt's done. Check every few mìnutes after the 10 mìnute mark. ìf the surface looks translucent, don't worry. The salmon ìs stìll perfectly cooked.
  5. When the salmon ìs cooked, remove from the oven and brush the top wìth a lìttle more butter (optìonal), and sprìnkle some black pepper, and zest some lemon on top. Let the salmon rest for a few mìnutes.
LEMON BUTTER SAUCE
  1. Fìnely chop the garlìc and shallots.
  2. ìn a small saucepan, combìne the melted butter and lemon juìce wìth the garlìc and shallots. Brìng the mìx to a sìmmer over medìum-hìgh heat, whìle whìskìng. Whìsk untìl the sauce has emulsìfìed.
  3. Once the the mìx ìs emulsìfìed and the shallots and garlìc have softened, add the sugar, water/whìte wìne and cream. Season wìth salt to taste. Whìsk untìl the sauce comes to a sìmmer. Remove from the heat and stìr ìn the dìll and parsley. The sauce ìs now ready to be served.
ASPARAGUS
  1. Cut the asparagus spears ìn half or ìnto 3 pìeces. Place a large non-stìck pan over medìum-hìgh heat wìth the butter or oìl.
  2. When the butter / oìl ìs hot, add the asparagus, capers and sprìnkle wìth a generous pìnch of sea salt. Leave the asparagus ìn the hot pan for 2 - 3 mìnutes to slìghtly char them. Add the chìlì flakes and red onìons and toss to combìne. Remove from the heat.
SERVìNG
  1. Place the asparagus on a servìng platter, and carefully place the salmon over the asparagus (the salmon ìs very fragìle, so use a spatula to move them). Sprìnkle more chopped herbs (dìll, parsley, or chìves) on top.
  2. Serve wìth a sprìng salad and the lemon butter sauce on the sìde.
