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!

A BIT ABOUT INTUITION...


Today's
activity focuses on the Intuition Physicality. The technical term for it is
proprioception. The simple definition is understanding our bodies in relation
to our physical world, which is important because the body is the brain's
best tool for early learning. And as any craftsman will tell you, knowing your
tools is half the battle!





One of the
critical aspects of Intuition is Body Awareness -- understanding the size,
shape, and componentry of your own body. Now, I realize that might sound a bit
odd, but in fact, young children aren't
born with a complete understanding of their physical self. Instead, they "learn
their body" by using their body. And that means
movement.





Building a
child's sense of Intuition is a process that takes many years, yet much of it
goes unnoticed by adults. Like all of
the Physicalities, Intuition is not a milestone you can "check off."
Instead, think of it as infrastructure... the behind the scenes development
that makes all the milestones we do see possible. And all it really takes
is a time, a well-balanced diet of play and stimulation, and room to move.











When you
think about it, kids have a lot in common with Christmas trees. The minute they're
up, they're the center of attention. They wait and wait and wait for
Santa.  And while they're waiting,
they love to dress up! So I got to wondering what it would be like to be the
tree!




ME THE TREE


Start a
discussion with your child about the Christmas tree, using sensory information as a start.  For instance, how tall is it? What
color is it? What does it smell like? Then encourage her imagination.
"I wonder what the tree thinks about?" "I wonder what kind of
ornament the tree would like to wear?"







Next, invite
her to make an ornament on a piece of paper or out of any other craft material
you'd like to use. (Note: we've included a printable if that's helpful for you.
See the bottom of this post.)








Once the
child has the ornament ready, suggest it might be fun to find out what it's
like to be a Christmas tree. Encourage
her to "hang" her ornament on herself, anywhere she'd like. Next,
suggest she hang the ornament from different parts of her body such as her elbow, her knee, her chin, her nose,
etc. (Assist as needed depending on the child's maturity, but in each case, narrate
the body words as she decorates herself.)











YOU THE TREE


Understanding
her own body gives her essential cues to understanding others. Suggest you'd
like a turn playing the tree, and invite her to hang her ornament on you,
anywhere she'd like. Again, suggest different body parts. Can you hang the
ornament on my tummy? My ear? My shoulder?





TREE THE TREE


Then, work with her to transfer her own Body Awareness to a two-dimensional, symbolic format. Using the printable (see below) encourage her to hang the ornament on
Tree the Tree anywhere she'd like. Next, suggest she hang the ornament on
Tree's head, tummy, arm, nose, leg, etc. Note that the illustration only
defines facial features. Watch to see how she imagines where Tree's body
parts are. This should give you some clues to what she intuitively knows (and what she still
needs to learn) about her own body.











And when you're done, help her hang her ornament on your
family tree.  After all, Christmas
Trees love to dress up!





Wishing you a happy,
healthy, active holiday season!
