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!

CRISPY BAKED BUFFALO TOFU WINGS

CRISPY BAKED BUFFALO TOFU WINGS

Spicy, delicious, and indulgent-tasting these crispy baked buffalo tofu wings make the perfect appetizer for your next party and are excellent on a salad!


If you put your buffalo tofu wings on a salad, does that make it the healthiest meal of your life or what? As I could eat this meal non-stop (and have had it a half dozen times this month already!), that sure would be a nice perk.
Tofu, breaded and baked until crispy then doused in a buffalo sauce. When dipped into some vegan ranch or bleu cheese dressing it makes the best finger food. Sliced on a bias and set atop a crunchy salad you have a colorful, easy, delicious, and nutritious meal!
I first had buffalo tofu in college. It was one of the veg options at the dorm dining halls, and would rotate across the menus on campus. My best friend and I would always seek it out, regularly choosing to traipse across campus just to get our buffalo on! Snow, rain, nothing could hold us back from that salty, spicy tofu.

NOTES:

  • For a store bought dressing, I like Follow Your Heart Ranch and Bleu Cheese Dressings. Or make your own ranch! My ranch recipe can be found in my recipe for buffalo soy curl pizza.
  • For a gluten free tofu wing, use gluten free and vegan panko style bread crumbs. And for a gluten free salad, skip the croutons or make some of your own with gluten free bread!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb extra firm or super firm tofu
  • 6 tbsp cornstarch, arrowroot, or tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup plant milk

BREAD CRUMB MIXTURE

  • 1 cup panko style bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh minced parsley

BUFFALO SAUCE

  • 6 tbsp (90g) red cayenne pepper hot sauce, ideally Franks RedHot
  • 3 tbsp (35g) vegan butter
  • 1/8 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/8 tsp salt

TO SERVE

  • Vegan bleu cheese or ranch style dressing
  • romaine, sweet peppers, croutons, avocado for salad

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 ºF and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet.
  2. If using extra-firm tofu press out the extra water: Slice your tofu into 6 width-wise slabs and wrap in a lint-free towel or paper towel. Place some weights over the wrapped tofu, like a heavy cast iron skillet or books atop a baking sheet. Let drain for about 20-30 minutes before continuing.
  3. Cut your tofu into 18 'wings' or ~1/2" sticks. Cut the block of tofu into 6 slices width-wise if you haven't already for pressing, then slice each of those slabs into 3 slices lengthwise.
  4. Put the cornstarch (/arrowroot or tapioca starch) in one bowl, the plant milk in a second bowl, and mix together the bread crumb mixture in a third bowl. Pour some of the bread crumb mixture onto a plate.
  5. Dip each tofu 'wing' into the starch, followed by the milk, then roll in the breadcrumbs on the plate. Place the wing onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining 'wings.' Use one hand for the starch and bread crumbs and your other for the milk to keep breading from clumping on your fingers. Add more of the breadcrumb mixture to the plate as needed.
  6. Bake the prepared tofu at 425 ºF for 25 minutes, flip, then bake an additional 10-15 minutes until the tofu wings are nice and crispy.
  7. While they're baking, make the buffalo sauce. Melt the vegan butter and stir in the hot sauce, granulated garlic, and salt.
  8. Put the tofu wings in a large mixing bowl and toss with the buffalo sauce to coat. Serve immediately.
  9. Leftover buffalo tofu wings can be re-crisped in the oven.
