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!

5 MINUTE DIY SNOW FROSTED MASON JAR DECORATIONS

Introducing our new favorite winter and Christmas DIY: snow frosted mason jar decorations!


Don’t be intimidated by their beautiful looks! These DIY snow frosted Christmas mason jar decorations are practically free, and incredibly fast and easy to make.  Can you imagine how beautiful they would look on a table, shelf , or fireplace mantel?

You can use them as Thanksgiving  and Christmas decorations, or as gorgeous winter wedding centerpieces. They are also lovely gifts and party favors.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS TO MAKE SNOW FROSTED MASON JAR DECORATIONS:

  • mason jars or any recycled glass jars.
  • hemp twine or jute twine
  • mod podge ( I used the original matte version) or any easy to find craft glue that dries clear, like Elmers glue
  • to light them up at night, you can use battery powered LED fairy string lights or real white votive candles
Note : You will also need some natural or artificial elements such as pine cones, berries, and conifer cuttings. They are easy to gather on a nature walk.

STEP 1: ADD SNOW TO THE MASON JARS
In this version I wanted to create some contrast with the snow frosted jars, so the top rim of each jar and the embellishments are not covered with snow.


The key to success here is to work quickly so you can apply the “snow” before the glue starts to dry.
Coat the outside surface of the mason jar with a generous coat of glue or Mod Podge, so there are no dry spots, and no dripping glue either.
Ready for the secret? The snow is in your kitchen! You can use regular salt or kosher salt. We used Morton Coarse Kosher Salt here because the larger flakes look beautiful as snow.


Take a handful of salt, sprinkle onto the glue coated surface as you rotate the jar. Don’t touch the glue and salt coated surface.
When you finish, set aside to dry. It will take only 10-20 minutes in a warm place. Once the jars are dried, gently brush off the excess salt on the surface, you will still have plenty left firmly glued to the jar.

STEP 2: ADD EMBELLISHMENTS TO YOUR DIY SNOW FROSTED MASON JAR DECORATIONS
Warp some twine around the rim of each jar. This provides a good spot to glue the embellishments.


I found it much easier to tie sprigs of berries and /or conifer cuttings into a bundle with hemp or jute twine first, then glue the bundle to the twine wrapped around the rim of the jars.

STEP 3: ADD STRING LIGHTS OR CANDLES
Our DIY snow frosted mason jar decorations are looking beautiful already, but when you add lights to them, they become extra enchanting and magical !


To light them up at night, you can use battery powered LED fairy string lights or real white votive candles.

These LED candles are great too. At 1.5″ diameter, they would fit inside most glass jar openings

We used these battery powered LED fairy string lights . They are great because the tiny battery units are almost invisible inside the jars. Just turn on each one and drop it into the jar.


You could totally see these elegant pine cone and greens snowy mason jar decorations as gorgeous winter wedding centerpieces,  or farmhouse style decorations for everyday magic.
