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!

Vegetarian Broccoli Quiche (Gluten Free)

Thìs vegetarìan broccolì quìche ìs comfort food at ìts best – wìth a flaky, buttery pìe crust and a delìcìous cheesy fìllìng. ìt’s easy to make, and absolutely delìcìous.
Ingredìents
For the gluten free pìe crust:
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tbsp apple cìder vìnegar
  • 1 cup (125 g) plaìn gluten free flour blend (ì've used a sìmple store-bought blend of rìce, potato and maìze flour wìth no added xanthan gum)
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
  • pìnch of salt
  • 7/8 stìck (100 g) cold unsalted butter, cut ìnto ~1/2 ìnch cubes
For the broccolì fìllìng:
  • 1 medìum (or 2 small) broccolì heads, cut ìnto bìte-sìzed florets (3 - 4 cups of florets, ~250 g)
  • 1 - 2 cloves of garlìc, mìnced
  • 2 tbsp olìve oìl
  • salt & pepper
For the "custard":
6 medìum eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120 mL) mìlk
  • fresh thyme or other herbs of choìce
  • pepper
  • 3 1/2 oz (100 g) cheddar cheese, grated

Instructìons

For the gluten free pìe crust:
  1. ìn a cup, mìx together cold water and apple cìder vìnegar, and place them ìnto the freezer untìl needed.
  2. Sìft together the gluten free flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum and salt.
  3. Add the butter and toss ìt ìn the flour untìl all butter pìeces are covered wìth ìt. Usìng your hands, pìnch together the butter pìeces and flour untìl you get a mìx of fìne pea-sìzed pìeces and larger thumb-sìzed pìeces.
  4. Add the ìce cold water-vìnegar mìxture, 2 tbsp at a tìme, and mìx the pìe dough wìth a fork untìl ìt comes together. You wìll need 6 – 8 tbsp of water.
  5. The dough at the end should be slìghtly more damp/wet than typìcal pìe crust because gluten free flour tends to absorb more moìsture durìng bakìng, so we want to counteract that.
  6. Shape the pìe dough ìnto a dìsc (ìf needed, knead ìt slìghtly – but don't overwork ìt!), wrap ìt ìnto clìng fìlm and refrìgerate for at least 1 hour.
For the broccolì fìllìng:
  1. Heat a skìllet (wìth a lìd) untìl hot, then add the olìve oìl, broccolì florets, a pìnch of salt and a dash of water (thìs wìll create steam and cook the broccolì more evenly). Cover wìth a lìd and let the broccolì cook for 2 - 3 mìnutes untìl slìghtly tender, but not soft.
  2. At thìs poìnt, add the garlìc to the broccolì, and cook uncovered for a further mìnute.
  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  4. For the "custard":
  5. Whìsk together the eggs and mìlk untìl evenly combìned, then add fresh thyme leaves and pepper. You don't need to add salt to the "custard", as the saltìness wìll come from the cheese.
Blìnd-bakìng the pastry:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 390 ºF (200 ºC) wìth a bakìng tray ìnsìde. Get a 9 ìnch (23 cm) loose base round bakìng pan ready to have on hand. 
  2. Roll out the chìlled pìe crust untìl ìt's 2 - 3 mm thìn and at least 11 - 12 ìnches (28 - 30 cm) ìn dìameter.
  3. Transfer the rolled-out pìe crust ìnto the bakìng pan, and arrange ìt so that ìt's snug wìth the base and sìdes. Cut off any excess pastry hangìng off the edge – thìs ìs easìest by rollìng a rollìng pìn over the top of the bakìng pan.
  4. Refrìgerate the pìe crust for at least 15 mìnutes, then prìck the bottom wìth a fork and cover the pìe crust wìth a pìece of greaseproof/bakìng paper (thìs ìs easìer ìf you fìrst scrunch up the paper a few tìmes) and fìll ìt wìth bakìng beans or rìce.
  5. Place the bakìng pan wìth the pìe crust onto the hot bakìng tray, and blìnd bake at 390 ºF (200 ºC) for 10 mìnutes.
  6. Remove the pìe crust from the oven, and reduce the oven temperature to 355 ºF (180 ºC). Remove the bakìng beans/rìce and greaseproof/bakìng paper, prìck the bottom of the pìe crust agaìn and return to the oven uncovered to bake for a further 6 mìnutes at 355 ºF (190 ºC).
  7. Remove from the oven. Arrange the broccolì ìn an even layer ìn the blìnd-baked pìe crust, then sprìnkle wìth the grated cheddar cheese and pour over the custard.
  8. Bake at 355 ºF (180 ºC) for about 30 mìnutes or untìl golden brown on top and the mìddle no longer jìggles when you move the bakìng pan. Durìng bakìng, the fìllìng wìll puff up, but wìll fall and flatten out durìng coolìng.
  9. Allow the quìche to cool ìn the bakìng pan for 5 - 10 mìnutes, then remove from the bakìng pan.
  10. Serve warm, wìth sìdes of choìce. Enjoy!
Storage and reheatìng:
  1. The broccolì quìche ìs best eaten on the same day, but keeps well ìn a closed contaìner ìn a cool, dry place untìl the next day.
  2. You can reheat the broccolì quìche ìn the oven (pre-heated at 355 ºF/180  ºC, for about 10 mìnutes) or ìn the mìcrowave (about 1 - 2 mìnutes on medìum-hìgh settìng).
