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!

VEGAN PULLED MUSHROOM TACOS

Edit
I tried a couple of different ways of preparing them, but treating them the same way I prepare the jackfruit turned out to be a clear winner – stew in the spices and condiments first and then bake in a hot oven till the edges get a little charred and crispy.
I tucked my smoky pulled mushroom filling in some small corn tortillas and dressed them with a simple tomato salsa, some cos lettuce, a few strands of sharp quick-pickled onions, a dollop of vegan sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh coriander and I was a very happy bunny indeed.

These meatless ‘meaty’ tacos make for ideal finger food and go hand in hand with some beers in the sun (I’m counting on you this weekend, Bristol!) and some fairly relaxed hosting as you can prepare everything well in advance. I don’t know about you, but since this is a long weekend and the weather is meant to be gorgeous, that’s very much in my weekend plans.
INGREDIENTS
  • PULLED MUSHROOMS (for the best flavour, make a day ahead)
  • 400 g / 14 oz king oyster mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small white onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 heaped tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 1-2 tsp adobo paste (or chilli paste)
  • 2-3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for GF version)
  • 60 ml / ¼ cup stock (or water)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • a good pinch white or black pepper
  • SALSA
  • 15 ripe plum tomatoes
  • ¼ red onion, finely diced
  • ½ small jalapeno chilli (adjust to taste), finely diced
  • small handful of coriander, super finely chopped
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp maple syrup
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • REMAINING INGREDIENTS
  • 15 small tacos (I used shop-bought 10 cm corn tacos)
  • Romaine lettuce, shredded
  • quick-pickled red onions (details in this recipe)
  • small bunch of coriander
  • vegan sour cream or creme fraiche (I used Oatly)

METHOD

  1. PULLED MUSHROOMS
  2. Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut off the caps. Slice the caps thinly.
  3. Shred the stems using a fork to make incisions and then pull individual strands apart with your hands (see photos).
  4. Heat up 2 tbsp of oil in a heavy bottom frying pan.
  5. Throw in the diced onion, fry on a gentle heat for about 10 minutes (stirring from time to time) until translucent and lightly browned in places.
  6. Add the diced garlic and fry for another 2-4 minutes, until fragrant.
  7. Add the cumin, smoked paprika and coriander. Fry them off gently, stirring the whole time, for a minute or so.
  8. Mix in the tomato and adobo (or chilli) paste.
  9. Add in all the mushrooms (caps and all). Coat them in what’s already on the pan.
  10. Add soy sauce (I ended up using 3 tbsp, but you are welcome start off with 2) and 60 ml / ¼ cup stock.
  11. Allow the mushrooms to cook in the liquid until most of the liquid gets absorbed. Season with maple syrup and some pepper. You are welcome to add some more acidity, but for me, the tomato and adobo paste provided enough. Cook for another 5 minutes and allow the mixture to cool down. If making a day ahead, refrigerate overnight.
  12. Just before you are ready to assemble the tacos, set the oven to 180° C / 355° F fan function (or 200° C / 390° F if your oven has a fan setting).
  13. Spread the mushrooms pieces on a baking paper-lined baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes, depending on how browned you would like your end product.
  14. SALSA
  15. Chop your tomatoes very finely, optionally deseeding them as you go along.
  16. Mix in the diced onion, jalapeno chilli and coriander.
  17. Dress with lime juice, olive oil and maple syrup and season with salt and pepper.
  18. ASSEMBLY
  19. Assemble your tacos by putting pulled mushroom, chopped lettuce, tomato salsa, pickled onions (if using) and coriander in the middle of each taco. Dot with vegan sour cream.
