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!

This Chicken and Stuffing recipe can be made in the Crock Pot or the Instant Pot. Serve it casserole style or with gravy and mashed potatoes!

INGREDIENTS : 

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts,
  • 1.5 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning
  • Salt/Pepper
  • 10.5 oz. cream of chicken soup,, low sodium
  • 8 oz. sour cream,, (equivalent to 1 cup)
  • 6 oz. box stuffing mix
  • ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, See notes
  • Optional stuffing additions:
  • 1/2 cup onions,, diced
  • 1/2 cup celery,, diced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled sausage,, (cooked or raw)
  • 2 teaspoons dry rosemary


INTRUCTIONS :
Crock Pot Method

  1. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place on the bottom of a lightly greased Crock Pot.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the soup, sour cream, stuffing, and *half* of the chicken broth. Layer the stuffing mix over the chicken.
  3. Add the green beans.
  4. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-7. 
  5. Optional: Serve with gravy and mashed potatoes if desired.
  6. If you’d prefer additional moisture, add the rest of the chicken broth, stir, and heat for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. For firmer stuffing, leave the lid off the crock pot for the last 30-40 minutes of cooking. Use foil to cover the chicken to keep it moist.
  8. You can also pop it in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes to brown up the top.
  9. Optional: Serve with gravy and mashed potatoes if desired.

Instant Pot Method

  1. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pour 3/4 cup chicken broth into the Instant Pot and top with chicken, overlapping as needed.
  3. Seal the vent, and press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button and set the timer to 14 minutes for frozen chicken, or 8 minutes for fresh/defrosted chicken. Ensure the pressure seal valve is secured in place and closed. 
  4. As the chicken cooks, gently combine the stuffing, cream of chicken soup, and the sour cream until just combined. Don’t over-mix.
  5. Once the chicken timer goes off, turn the quick release valve on the pressure cooker and wait for the steam to escape. Press the cancel button to turn the off the unit.
  6. Open the lid and ensure that chicken is fully cooked. You’ll notice a lot of moisture at the bottom, this is needed for the stuffing to cook.
  7. If using frozen green beans, place them on top of the chicken, seal the pressure valve, and press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button again and set the timer for 2 minutes. Release the valve, let the steam escape, and then add the stuffing on top. (If using fresh green beans, add them at the same time as the stuffing.)
  8. Replace the lid and seal the pressure valve. Press the “manual” or “pressure cook” button and set the timer to 4 minutes. This will heat up the stuffing. (Since the stuffing will absorb the moisture, the pressure cooker won’t steam again.)
  9. Once finished, release the valve once more and let the steal escape. Remove and serve!
