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!

Japanese Potato Salad

, Edit
Japanese Potato Salad is a staple in Japanese-household’s home-cooking because it’s so easy to make, and uses ingredients everyone usually has at home! It has vegetables, carbs, and protein so it could make a nice little meal on its own, but it is usually used as a side dish. It also makes a great bento box filling!








There are many potato salads out there, but why is this one called “Japanese” Potato Salad and what is so special about it?  It is the texture and flavour that really makes this a must try recipe. You can have variety of textures in one salad: a typical potato “hoku hoku” texture, a crunchiness from ingredients like apple and carrot, and a creaminess from Japanese kewpie mayonnaise.





Ingredients

·         500 g Potato
·         50 g Onion
·         25 g Carrots or substitute for 50 g apple instead like I did this time
·         25 g Cucumber
·         50 g Ham
·         3 tbs Kewpie mayonnaise
·         1 tbs milk
·         Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1.       Slice the onion thinly then put them on a plate, cover with cling wrap and microwave for      2 minutes on 500w and set aside.*1
2.       Repeat step 1 with the carrot, chopped into small pieces (if using). *2
3.       Peel the potatoes and cut into small chunks. Boil for 10 minutes. Check if the potatoes           are cooked by inserting a skewer. If it goes through, the potato is cooked.
4.       Strain the water from the potatoes, put them back in the pot and shake them around to           rough up the outsides a little.
5.       Mash the potatoes a little, but ensure you leave some potatoes still in shape. *3
6.       Rip or slice the ham into small pieces and slice the cucumber and carrots/apples thinly.
7.       Combine mayonnaise and milk.
8.       Place the mashed potato, onion, carrot/apple, cucumber, and ham into a bowl and add           the  mayonnaise mixture and mix to combine. *4
9.       Add salt and pepper to taste then serve.

Recipe Notes

*1. Cooking the onion in the microwave brings out the onion’s sweetness.
*2. If you used apple, don’t cook it in microwave like carrot. Just chop them up into small pieces and add.
*3. Mash while the potatoes while they are still hot because the pectin layer containing the potato starch is more elastic when it is hot. If you mash the potatoes after they’ve cooled down, the pectin layer loses its elasticity and starchiness which results in a mashed potato texture like “mochi” (a texture which is opposite to “hoku hoku”).
*4. Add mayonnaise mixture while the mashed potatoes are cooled down to about 50-60 degree Celsius (120-140 Fahrenheit). Mayonnaise penetrates better at around that temperature and also stops the mayonnaise from separating. Other ingredients suggestions are boiled egg chopped up, green peas, sliced apple, raisins.
