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!

The Chimney Challenge


FROM JUMPING
TO SKIPPING (Approximately 2+ years)

SPATIAL AWARENESS: WILL I FIT?


Now, this might sound funny, but kids often
don't have an intuitive sense of whether or not they can fit in a space. That's one of the reasons they bump into things a lot and even get themselves stuck sometimes.





Activities where a child can experience the
size of his body in relation to the space he's in gives his brain rich
sensory inputs about the current size and contours himself. And I think
that's why kids love tunnels. They're discovering themselves! (And it also explains how Santa knows he'll fit down all those chimneys!)










SANTA NEEDS CHIMNEY PRACTICE!


Just like all the Kinetic Christmas activities,
this can be played any time of year, but for the holidays, here's a fun way to
stage the game...





Everyone has been so good this year, Santa has more presents than
ever to deliver! And he's a bit worried about that because there are so many different
kinds of chimneys. Some chimneys are big and some are small. Some are long,
others short. Some are wide and some are skinny! Santa has decided he needs to practice his chimney skills. Can you
be Santa's helper?





GETTING READY: Find several different sized
boxes. (Be sure they're all big enough or the child to crawl through.) Open up
both ends and lay them out around the room as tunnels. By varying the size of the boxes, he's getting a different intuitive sense of the size of his body and how he fits into different kinds of spaces.





Next, gather some "presents" from
things you have handy and put them in a bin (the sleigh). Balls, soft toys, and toy
vehicles, work great for this game. Try to vary the size of the objects from
large to small.





Just like Santa, the object of the game is to get all the presents through the chimneys. Explore different ways to tunnel through, insuring your child takes time to go through each one. To get you started, here's how Santa does it…











SANTA'S TOP 10 FAVORITE CHIMNEY TRICKS!


ONE AT A TIME. Take one present at a time and
see how quickly you can tunnel through the chimney to empty Santa's sleigh.
(For younger children, place the present at the end of the tunnel to entice
them to crawl through.) When he's ready, have him try to manage getting two or
more presents through the chimney at a time.





COMMANDO CHIMNEY. Crawling on your belly using
your elbows.





SEAL IN THE CHIMNEY. Wiggle through on your
belly, keeping your arms at your side.





WORM IN THE CHIMNEY. Wiggle through the chimney
on your back.





FORWARDS-BACKWARDS. Crawl to the edge of the
box to deliver the present then back out.





BACKWARDS-FORWARDS. Crawl backwards through the
box, deliver the present, then crawl forwards to get back to the sleigh.





CHIMNEY SWEEP. There's soot on the walls inside
the chimney. Make you way through withOUT touching the sides!





THE CANDY CANE CHIMNEY. As he crawls through,
have him stop, roll over, and then make his way through to the other side.





THE LONGEST CHIMNEY! Lay all the boxes end to
end to create the longest chimney ever!





THE TALLEST CHIMNEY. While you have the longest
chimney set up, thread a rope through to tunnel. Hold on to one end and have
the child pull himself through using the rope, as if he's climbing up just like
Santa! (This is great for upper body strength.)





THE CHIMNEY COURSE. Lay out a tinsel trail
around the room and through one or more of the boxes you have to create a
winding path for him to crawl along.














Wishing you a happy, healthy, and active
holiday season!
