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!

Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Baked Chicken Wings




Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Baked Chicken Wings

Every year I try to challenge myself in the kitchen by cooking at least one thing a month that takes me completely out of my comfort zone. For the record, cookies are comfort zone… muffins and scones are my safe place… chewy blondies and rich chocolate brownies feel as safe a fuzzy blanket, and plates of pasta are always a blinking neon “HAPPY” sign…






So what get’s me anxious behind the countertop? MEAT. Not all meat; I can cook a juicy burger or Sicilian Braciole without breaking a sweat. It’s mainly meat that needs prep. You know… the butchering, to put it delicately. It makes me cringe and clam up and want to run very very fast in the other direction. I’m a wimp like that.




Hands-down my favorite appetizer to order when we dine out is sticky, spicy, saucy chicken wings. They’re such a treat because they’re something I never ever ever make at home. Or I should say, up until last week I never ever made at home. February was all about the chicken wing challenge! And although there were quite a few tears and a whole lot of swearing, I have to say one bite of these sweet and spicy sriracha baked chicken wings made it all worth it. Redemption is sweet.




So let’s get down to details, shall we?

First up, the cooking process. These wings are baked – not fried – so you’ll need a very large baking sheet and an oven for this adventure. The wings will get thoroughly patted down with paper towels (this helps remove excess moisture) before getting tossed with spices and oil. I used sesame oil here because I love the subtle Asian flavor it lends to the overall taste. You can find sesame oil in ethnic markets and most large grocery stores; it’s usually in the ethnic cooking aisle.



The wings will bake for 50 minutes in an oven preheated to 400 degrees (F). During this time you can prepare your sauce.


I love this sweet and spicy sriracha sauce! It’s made with sriracha, honey, butter, and spices —> ALL OF THE YUMMY THINGS. You’ll cook this combination of delicious ingredients on the stove top. Once the wings have baked, you’ll toss them in the said sauce, crank up the broiler on your oven, and bake them for an additional 4-5 minutes. This final stage is important for crisping! The broiling really seals the sauce into the wings and creates that crunchy skin we all know and love.


These wings are spicy, crunchy, and saucy on the outside; tender, meaty, and luscious on the inside. This recipe makes 3 pounds of wings; enough to serve 3-4 hungry friends. If you plan on feeding a crowd, I highly encourage you to multiply this recipe as needed. I promise you you’ll have no problem getting them to go-go-go! I made these for a bunch of boys last week and all I can say is HOLY COW – they were a huge hit!



If you make this recipe, I would love it if you let me know! Leave a comment below, or snap a photo and post it to instagram using the #BakerbyNaturehashtag. Knowing you made a recipe and enjoyed it always makes my day! xoxo




Sweet and Spicy Sriracha Baked Chicken Wings
author bakerbynature


Ingredients
  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Dry the chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels, pressing down hard to remove as much excess moisture as possible.
  2. Place the chicken wings in a large bowl; set aside. In a small bowl combine the melted butter, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Pour this mixture over the wings and using your hands, toss well to coat. Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake the wings until browned and crisp; 50-55 minutes, using tongues to flip them over halfway.
  4. In the meantime, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Once it's melted, add the crushed red pepper and ginger; cook for a minute, then add in the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and vinegar. Bring the mixture to light boil, stirring constantly, then stir in the cornstarch; cook just until thickened up - about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  5. When the wings have finished baking, carefully remove the tray from the oven and set aside. Increase the oven temperature to the broiler setting. Carefully remove the wings from the baking sheet and transfer to a large, heatproof bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat. Drain any excess oil from the baking sheet, then transfer the wings back to the prepared sheet and place the pan in the oven for 4-5 minutes. Stay near your oven during this time; the broiler acts fast. Carefully remove wings from the oven and transfer them to a large serving platter. Sprinkle the wings with sesame seeds, cilantro, and more honey (if desired); serve with lime wedges and lots of napkins.
