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!

Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls recipe with cilantro lime rice and a corn black bean salsa. They are so good and make the perfect weeknight meal!
When I think of a burrito bowl, I think of Chipotle like I am sure most people do. That was my first experience with eating one and has given me tons of inspiration over the years of making my own at home. We usually do vegetarian burrito bowls, and often turn to them several times throughout the week. As much as I adore the vegetarian burrito bowls we make, and hope to share them with you soon, I am way more in love right now with these Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls.
Spicy Shrimp Burrito Bowls recipe with cilantro lime rice and a corn black bean salsa. They are so good and make the perfect weeknight meal!
INGREDIENTS
Spicy Shrimp:
- 2½ teaspoons chili powder
- 2½ teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1½ pounds raw shrimp, deveined & shelled
- Corn Salsa:
- 2 cups corn, (thawed if frozen)
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (I used cherry)
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Cilantro Rice:
- 4 cups, cooked rice
- 2 limes, juiced
- ⅓ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional Toppings:
- fresh cilantro, avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, or hot sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Cilantro Rice:
- Start by cooking the rice according to the package directions. Once the rice is done mix in the lime juice, sugar, cilantro, and salt.
- Corn Salsa:
- In a medium sized bowl mix the corn, black beans, red onion, tomatoes, lime juice and garlic powder.
Spicy Shrimp:
- Mix the spices together in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil. Add the shrimp and sprinkle the spice mixture over the shrimp, stir. Cook the shrimp until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes (depending on the size). remove from heat.
- To assemble the bowls layer rice, corn salsa, and shrimp. Top with any of the toppings that you desire.
NOTES
If you do not want the shrimp too spicy try adding only half of the seasoning mix to the shrimp when cooking.
I start by starting to cook my rice and as my rice is cooking I make the Salsa and cook the Shrimp. That way everything is ready at the same time.
