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!

BOURBON BBQ SMOKED CHICKEN WINGS

This post is made in partnership with Traeger.  As always, my opinions are my own.
Insanely tasty chicken wing recipe, dry rubbed, then hickory smoked to perfection.  And don't forget the homemade bourbon bbq sauce! #chickenwings #wingrecipe #smoked #smoker #smokedchickenwings #bourbon #bbq #crispy
Y’all.  I officially have a new obsession.  Smoking!  I’ve always watched bbq competitions in awe as the pitmasters created absolutely masterpieces of deliciousness, and never thought I could create the same quality at home.  I was wrong!
We have a Traeger wood pellet grill and OMG I’m in love.  Not only does it yield the most amazing foods, but it’s so incredibly easy to operate!  This is coming from the woman who’s never cooked a single thing on a traditional propane or charcoal grill, and wouldn’t even know how to… so you know it’s easy!

When Traeger reached out to partner with me, I was floored!  And intimidated, but I figured it was time to put on my big girl pants, because I was going to learn how to smoke!  These wings were my first foray into the world of smoking, and literally the next day I was texting my husband about alllllll the things I was planning to smoke.  It’s a LONG list.

My inspiration for these bad-ass wings comes from a local restaurant here called Broadway Barrel House.  They have the most amazing smoked wings, that my husband and I get every single time we go there.  I knew the wings there were dry rubbed and smoked, then slathered with a bourbon bbq sauce, so I set out to replicate that.
I already had a rub in mind, that I use on my epic dry-rubbed baked wings, and it works SO well with these smoked chicken wings too!  Add in the homemade bbq sauce, and it’s a winner!  The bourbon bbq sauce is a little smoky, a little sweet, a little spicy, and a whole lot of amazing!

HOW LONG TO SMOKE CHICKEN WINGS AT 250 F DEGREES

It depends on how big the wings are.  My wings were pretty big, so they took 2.5 hours.  If they were on the smaller side, I think 2 hours or a little under that would work just fine.  The magic number you’re looking for is 165 F degrees internal temperature.  As long as the wings hit that, you’re good to go!

HOW TO SMOKE CHICKEN WINGS

  • First you’ll want to select your wood.  My smoker is a wood pellet grill, so I used hickory wood pellets.  Hickory is a good all-purpose wood, but applewood, pecan or even cherry would work as well!  
  • Preheat your smoker.  All smokers are different, so consult your manual for specific directions.  On a Traeger wood pellet grill, open the lid and select the SMOKE setting and let it preheat and smoke for 5-10 minutes.
  • Pick the perfect temperature.  A lot of people smoke chicken wings at 225 F degrees, which will absolutely work.  I chose 250 F degrees as that’s what my favorite restaurant does.
  • Choose a smoking time.  Depending on the size of your wings and the smoking temperature, this can take anywhere from 2 – 3 1/2 hours.  Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 165 F degrees to make sure the chicken wings are finished.
  • Crisp them up.  Crank up your smoker as high as it goes and really crisp and char the wings.  If you don’t like how crispy they’re getting, check out my 2 additional tips for crispy skin in the recipe notes section below

Words can’t even describe to you how incredibly delicious these wings are.  They’re incredibly smoky, with a sticky sweet/spicy glaze, and I’m telling you, you will NOT be able to just eat one!  Make these smoked chicken wings for a party and watch them disappear!

INGREDIENTS
WINGS
  • 4 lbs chicken wings, patted dry
  • sweet and smoky chicken rub (or your favorite store-bought rub)
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • hickory wood pellets
BOURBON BBQ SAUCE
  • 1/2 medium sweet yellow onion , finely minced
  • 5 cloves garlic , finely minced
  • 1/2 cup bourbon (use a good quality)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • a few dashes of hot sauce (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
BOURBON BBQ SAUCE
  1. Add a drizzle of olive oil to a saucepan over MED heat.  Add onion and garlic and cook about 5 minutes.  Add in bourbon and continue cooking about 3 minutes.
  2. Add tomato paste and whisk to break it up.  Add all remaining sauce ingredients and whisk to combine.  Increase heat to MED-HIGH and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to MED-LOW or LOW and simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Pour sauce through a fine mesh sieve to strain out onion and garlic pieces if you like a smooth, glossy sauce.  Set aside and cool.  Store leftover bbq sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
SMOKE CHICKEN WINGS
  1. Pat chicken wings dry with a clean paper towel.  Add wings to a large mixing bowl and toss with vegetable oil.  Add rub and massage into the wings, making sure each wing is coated.  
  2. Add hickory wood pellets to hopper.  Turn on smoker, open lid and set to the SMOKE setting.  Heat on SMOKE, with the lid open, for 5-10 minutes, until very smoky.  Add chicken wings to oiled grill grates, set smoker to 250 F degrees.  Close smoker lid and smoke for 2 hours 30 minutes, or until chicken wings reach an internal temperature of 165 F degrees.  Use an instant read meat thermometer to insure accurate cooking temperatures.
  3. Change smoker setting to HIGH and baste chicken wings on both sides with bourbon bbq sauce.  Cook wings for 5 minutes, then flip them over and cook 3-5 minutes on the other side.
  4. Select SHUT DOWN on smoker and remove chicken wings to a foil or parchment lined plate or baking sheet.  Let rest 5-10 minutes.  Turn smoker off and unplug it.  
  5. Eat wings as is, or brushed with additional bbq sauce.  Dip in blue cheese or ranch dressing and serve with celery and carrots for a traditional experience.
RECIPE NOTES
For extra crispy chicken wing skin, there are two options.  First, lay chicken wings on a baking sheet and refrigerate, fat side up, uncovered for several hours or overnight.  This dries out the skin which allows it to crisp more.  Secondly, you can bring the wings inside and blast them under a super hot broiler for a few minutes.
** Recipe developed and tested using a Traeger wood pellet grill.  If using another brand, use your discretion when it comes to settings, as they will likely not be exactly the same as mentioned here.
