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!

INGREDIENTS
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 5 medium potatoes
  • 8 oz farmers cheese
  • 1 tablespoon blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 whole onion , chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • FOR THE DOUGH:
  • 3 cups whole purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup of warm water (depending on how much your flour soaks)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • A little bit of kosher salt
  • For the toppings
  • 1 large onions , chopped
  • 3 slabs of bacon , chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon of oil or ghee for frying

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. FOR THE FILLING:
  2. Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water and cook until fork tender
  3. In the meantime heat up the oil or ghee in a frying pan, add onions and cook until golden brown
  4. Once potatoes are cooked, using a hand blender or potato masher, mashed potatoes so they don't have lumps
  5. Add farmers cheese and mix together
  6. Add onions, other cheeses, spices, salt and pepper and mix well.
  7. FOR THE DOUGH:
  8. Pour the flour on a counter or other surface that will allow you to make the dough
  9. Add a pinch of salt
  10. Make a little whole in a middle and start adding milk and butter
  11. Add a little water at the time and work the dough until you can form a ball about 10-15 minutes
  12. Once done, cover it with the big bowl and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes
  13. Roll the dough until thin (like pasta) and using either cookie cutter or large wine glass cut the circles
  14. Place 1 teaspoon of fling in the middle of the circle
  15. Wet one half of the circle and then seal it together
  16. Boil large pot of water and season with salt
  17. Once the water is boiling put about 8 pierogi at the time
  18. Once they come to the surface let them cook for 1 minute and using spider or slotted spoon take them out on a plate
  19. If you want to fry them like I did here, use 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee and fry pierogi on each side until golden brown
  20. FOR THE TOPPINGS:
  21. Using separate pans add oil and onions and fry the onions until golden brown and bacon until crispy (you don't need fat for bacon as it is already fatty)
  22. Add onions and bacon on top with pierogi and serve with sour cream
RECIPE NOTES
1. Some people use egg for the dough. I tried all kinds of dough variations and in my opinion mine is the most delicate. Egg tends to make the dough tougher. You can add egg to the dough and reduce amount of liquid.
2. Addition of blue cheese and cheddar is something new to me. It's a simple trick from very famous Polish chef. I tried it and it really elevates this dish to another level. 
3. If you are not serving pierogi immediately, take them out on a counter and let them cool down and dry a little bit. Make sure that they are not touching each other. Once cooled, place them on a baking sheet, again with distance from each other, place in a freezer and let them freeze. Once done, you can pack them in the plastic bag.
