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!

MURDER is in the air.

Or at least it was on Saturday night! Muuuuhahahahahahahaaaaaa!

Mike and I got all dressed up in our characters and headed over to an All Hallows Eve Party Murder Mystery Dinner Party set in the 1950’s.


We’ve never attended a Murder Mystery Dinner before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We read over our character bios, our secrets, and the goals/objectives we needed to meet before the night was finished.

I was freaking out a little because I wasn’t sure if I was gonna be able to pull it off. I’m a horrible liar, you’ll know right away by the look on my face if I’m lying or not.

My character for the evening was Ms. Shelly Silverstein. A ditzy southern belle from south Texas who grew up on a cattle ranch. She is a seductive dance hall girl who recently won a target sharp shooting competition and has an affinity for poker. She’s not one to be reckoned with. 🙂


Mike was, Rusty Naylor, a Scottish grounds keeper for the owner of the Black Mansion, the millionaire whose home we were attending the party at. He had been working for Mr. Black for years, but recently Mr. Blacks father was murdered. (da da daaaan) Rusty knows many of the secrets of the home, but is loyal to Mr. Black.
What people didn’t know is that I was actually a secret agent and I was there undercover investigating a man named Reverend Green, who matched the description of an international jewel thief. My goal was to get close to the Reverend and get him to fall in love with me.

What I didn’t know is that Reverend Greens card told him to avoid me at all costs.

Now here’s the funny part. Reverend was actually played by our real life pastor. So I was literally chasing him around the house all night. He continued to evade me, but I didn’t understand why. At one point I decided to pin him in the library with my arm in front of the door so he couldn’t get out and just said in my best southern belle voice, “I find you very attractive.” He didn’t know what to do and I felt my face getting flushed as I said it, but I was trying to do something rash to trick him into staying longer. It worked for about 3 minutes and then he escaped. UGhhh…
Luckily, I WAS able to confirm through multiple other sources during the night that he was indeed a jewel thief. And at one point he tried to bribe me to stay away.

Once dessert was served we were allowed to “murder” people, but only if we had weapons. Luckily, I was a sharp shooter so I had two six shooters on me. And believe me I used them, especially when someone tried to blackmail me. Hahahaaha!
To say we had a blast that night was an understatement. It was kill or be killed and luckily I ended the evening alive, having murdered one person (almost two) and secrets intact. I’d call that a success! 🙂

I seriously can’t wait till the next one! Pretty sure we need to do one of those once a quarter!!!
