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!

Nagoya Style Fried Chicken Wings



One of my husband’s favorite Japanese meals that he always requests to eat when we are in Japan is Yakitori.  Yakitori means “grill (yaki) chicken (tori)” in Japanese and Yakitori restaurants typically serves their delicacies on a wooden skewers





With “chicken” in the name, you guessed right, the main ingredients are mostly from chickens.  Typical chicken parts served on skewer include thighs, meatball, skin, hearts, wings, cartilage, and gizzards.  Based on your preference and chicken parts, you pick seasonings – either shio (salt) or tare ( yakitori sauce ) – for each skewer.  Other popular skewers besides chicken parts are bacon asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, fried tofu, bacon quail egg, and pork cheek meat.

These chicken wings are deep fried to perfection and then coated with sweet soy sauce.  This style of deep fried chicken ( we call it Karaage) with the sweet sauce is referred to as Nagoya style because they were originated from there ( Nagoya is located in central part of Japan).  Every time when these chicken wings are served, our family would need to divide the pieces into equal shares so our children wouldn’t fight over who had more or less pieces.  Since my family loves this dish so much, I knew I had to come up with something similar, and finally I was able to come close to duplicating the flavor .

Ingredients

   ·    2 lb chicken wings ( flats/drumettes ) ( we only used 5 wings/1 lb today )
   ·    potato/corn starch
   ·    neutral flavor oil ( vegetable, canola, etc ) ( for deep frying)
   ·    white sesame seeds (roasted/toasted )

Sauce:
   ·    1 cup mirin
   ·    ½ cup soy sauce
   ·    3 Tbsp sake
   ·    ⅓ cup sugar
   ·    ¼ tsp Kosher salt
   ·    2-3 ginger ( sliced ) ( I put a little bit more today)
   ·    2 cloves garlic ( crushed or minced )

Instructions

1.    In a small saucepan, heat all the ingredients for Sauce to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens and reduced (the sauce will get thicker as the temperature cools down)
2.    Meanwhile, cut the wings at the joint. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
3.    Dredge the chicken wings in potato starch and remove the excess.
4.    Deep fry the wings at 320F (160C) until 80% cooked, about 10 minutes. Drain oil on wire rack or paper towel for 3-5 minutes.
5.    For the 2nd time, deep fry at 350F (180C) until the wings are crispy, about 5 minutes. The wings should be golden brown.
6.    Using a tong, coat the chicken wings in the sauce or serve the wings on a plate and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle white sesame seeds and serve immediately.
