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!

CAJUN CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND RICE CASSEROLE

CAJUN CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND RICE CASSEROLE
Hey Folks! How’s it going? I’ve got this Cajun Chicken, Sausage, and Rice casserole to share with you today and it’s really, really, really good. It all started in February of this year when I got a hankering for some good ol Jambalaya. There was only one problem…. Here in Small Town, USA… I can’t really go out and grab bowl of Jambalaya.
With just a few steps this dish comes together easily and deliciously!
Lets get in the kitchen!
Chop up a medium onion into small pieces.
Mince a few cloves of garlic up!
aaaand dice up a medium green bell pepper.
Throw all of that into a pipin’ hot skillet with a little veggie oil and saute until onions and peppers are soft.
Dice up some Turkey Smoked Sausage!
This is where I’ll probably get yelled at because this isn’t what you would traditionally use in Cajun cuisine, but I make the rules over here in my kitchen so I’ll tell ya what. This is delicious and it works! It also was great timing on Jennie O‘s part because they sent me some of this Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage for this month’s Switch Circle Blogger Program. I was using this exact kind of Smoked Turkey Sausage before so it really worked out! I love this stuff, honestly. If you can’t find this exact sausage in your local grocery store you can probably find a different brand of Turkey Smoked Sausage and it’ll work great too! (But, I hope you can find the Jennie O kind because it really is super yummy!)
This is what it looks like just incase you were wondering. I really love this sausage for a lot of different meals including plain ol’ Smoked Sausage Sandwiches. I grew up on those. Just in case this is another “I live in Illinois” thing …Smoked Sausage Sandwiches are quite literally exactly what they sound like. A piece of smoked sausage that has been grilled, stuffed in a bakery roll, and topped off with some ketchup and mustard. It’s so easy and it’s so delicious. We have them a lot around these parts and I almost always use Jennie O Turkey Smoked Sausage for a healthier alternative!
Okay now, cut up a large chicken breast into smallish pieces. Not too big, not too small. Smallish.
Now in a 3 quart or 9×13 casserole dish. Spray it well with cooking spray then add all the goodies. Really in no particular order. You’ll need to add the chicken, turkey smoked sausage, sautéed green peppers, onion, and garlic, cajun seasoning, celery salt, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes, and rice. I know it might seem like a really long list of ingredients, but it’s worth it. I promise.
Don’t forget to add the water! Like I almost did. You can also use chicken broth, I just decided to use water since there’s enough flavor going on in this casserole and it’s one less ingredient to add to the party.
Mix it all up real good! It doesn’t look all that appetizing at this point, I know that. I’m sorry.
I know there’s a lot of different Cajun Seasonings out there. This is the one I use! I use it for tons of stuff. I actually LOVE sprinkling it on hardboiled eggs for a quick snack. You can also make your own up. Just use your favorite one and it’ll be good stuff!
I’m taking a picture of this box of foil because well, it’s a very important step in this entire process and I don’t want you to forget. From time to time, I get a message or a comment asking about what could have gone wrong if the rice didn’t cook in a couple of my casseroles featuring rice. My first question is always, “Did you cover it with foil?” 9 out of 10 times, They didn’t cover it with foil. I am GUILTY of not completely reading recipes ALL of the time, so I understand. Trust me! This is just a friendly reminder If you’re reading this and are making this…
Please cover your casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil!
P.S. If your casserole dish comes with a cover.. It probably won’t work. Rice can be kind of finicky and we don’t want to anger it. It likes the foil. I don’t make this stuff up.
Then place that sucker in a preheated 375 degree oven for an hour.
It’ll come outa the oven pipin’ hot and lookin’ a lil somethin’ like this. Fluff it up with a fork and give it a quick mix.
Also, PSA: Your house is going to smell absolutely fantastic!
And your taste buds are going to do jumping jacks and y’all might lose your minds!
Make this immediately.
