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!

KINETIC CHRISTMAS: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

A PARTY FOR YOUR BODY


With all the
holiday music in the air, I've been thinking about the importance of dance for little ones. 





In our new book, A MovingChild Is a Learning Child, we describe dance as "a party for your
body." That's because dance offers so many multi-faceted benefits. For instance…





Physically, dance challenges
children to move their bodies in new and different ways. And even though it may not look like it sometimes, that means whole-body coordination, head to toe!





Socially, getting and
staying in step with others is a big accomplishment. Set to music, the beat and rhythm provide the soundtrack for a powerful, physical sense of community.





Cognitively, remembering structured
dance steps takes focus and concentration. 





And of course, emotionally... well,
let the party begin!














For this
activity, choose any music you like. I selected the classic Rockin' Around the
Christmas Tree because the four-beat bar is upbeat, but not too fast for little
ones to keep up with. There's a lot going on with this or any other structured dance
, so take it
slow, introduce one idea at a time and see how they get along before presenting
the next step.





And note: if you
have younger children, clapping or bobbing up and down to the beat is a great
way to get ready for more coordinated dancing next Christmas.





So, gather everyone into a circle, hold hands, and let's get rockin'!
