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!

STRAWBERRY BANANA BREAD

Banana Bread gets a fun new twist with the addition of fresh strawberries! This Strawberry Banana Bread starts with the BEST Banana Bread recipe and adds just a few simple ingredients to take it to the next level. Perfect for breakfast, snack, or even dessert…this recipe is packed with delicious flavor and sure to become a new favorite. If your family loves fresh, homemade bread, they’ll go crazy for this delicious Strawberry Banana Bread! And you’ll love how easy it is to make!

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Are you celebrating!? It took us a while to get there (to be honest, I hadn’t given any thought to it until Sunday afternoon)….but I must say. We recovered quite well.
Valentines were chosen and filled out Sunday night, gifts for Jorden and the girls were purchased yesterday, we had a family Valentine’s Day dinner last night, class parties are today, there’s a dinner reservation for Saturday night….
Yes, all in all, it’s another successful Valentine’s Day in the books. Just in the knick of time.

And now…..we wait for spring! Right?!?
Seriously, though….how much more of this cold and snow can we take? I, for one, am nearing the end of my rope. Which is probably why I’ve been buying all. the. strawberries.
Because naturally, strawberries make me think of summer. And thinking of summer? Well, it makes me happy. So I’ve been buying strawberries on top of strawberries. Restocking our supply before it’s even gone. Sending them to school in the girls’ lunches. And occasionally thinking to myself, “I should really bake with these!”
So the other day it finally happened. I had strawberries in my fridge and ripe bananas on my counter….and I knew exactly what I needed to do.
I mashed up the bananas, sliced up the strawberries, got out our favorite banana bread recipe (the one I grew up with, of course), and within minutes, I had a delicious loaf of Strawberry Banana Bread baking in the oven.


My family loves banana bread any way we can get it, and we especially love putting fun new twists on it. Like this Coconut-Rum Banana Bread, made with real rum, or this Hot Chocolate Banana Bread with Marshmallow Drizzle. Both start with the same basic recipe as this Strawberry Banana Bread but end up perfectly unique and totally delicious.
The BEST thing about this bread? It was fresh and ready to be eaten by the time the girls got home from school. Which always feels like a win. And honestly…would have made a perfect Valentine’s Day gift!
Not only is this Strawberry Banana Bread super moist and chewy and flavorful, but there’s something about the fresh strawberries that makes it feel a little extra special. Not just your ordinary bread. The girls devoured most of it in one sitting, and to be honest, it’s probably just about time for me to make it again.
And then? The next recipe on my “must try” list? This Peanut Butter Banana Bread. Because…peanut butter! And that maple glaze! You can’t go wrong!
But first….this Strawberry Banana Bread.

How to Make Strawberry Banana Bread:

  1. Start with very ripe bananas. In fact, the riper the better! I will often take overripe bananas and put them in my freezer, then thaw them out later to use for banana bread. Why do overripe bananas make the best banana bread? There are 3 basic reasons: they’re moist, they’re sweet, and they’re easy to mash. So even if you need to wait a few days to let your bananas ripen, it will be worth the wait!
  2. Use fresh, NOT overripe strawberries. While you want the bananas to be overripe, the same is not true of the strawberries. Fresh, firm strawberries will hold up better in this bread.
  3. Measure your flour correctly by spooning it into your measuring cup, then leveling off the top. Do NOT scoop it using your measuring cup or you will end up with too much flour in the batter.
  4. Bake until the top is a rich golden brown and the center is completely set. Because all bread pans are different sizes and shapes, the baking time will vary. So rely less on the time listed and more on whether the bread looks and feels done.
