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!

EASY MEATBALL PARMESAN CASSEROLE

Bake up just five simple ingredients to enjoy the cheesy, saucy goodness of this Meatball Parmesan Casserole! Spoon it over noodles or warm garlic bread slices for one super easy and satisfying meal. It makes for a great filling for meatballs subs, too.


You know I have to admit, when I was typing up the recipe for this Meatball Parmesan Casserole I asked myself, is this dish really a casserole? It's such a simple dish, I mean, does it really qualify as a casserole?

So I did a little digging.

Turns out ... by definition of the word ... yes, even this simple dish counts.

Bake up just five simple ingredients to enjoy the cheesy, saucy goodness of this Meatball Parmesan Casserole.
I always think of a casserole as a mixture of quite a few ingredients stirred together, scooped into a baking dish, and baked in the oven. It's the "quite a few ingredients" part of my thinking that would knock this easy dinner dish out of casserole contention.


Because this Meatball Parmesan Casserole is concocted from only five simple ingredients. Which aren't even stirred together, mind you.



But according to the definition of the word "casserole," a casserole is simply a dish that is cooked slowly in an oven, typically in some form of casserole dish ... this type of dish being what originally gave "casseroles" their name.

So yes, by it's virtue of being baked in the oven in a casserole dish, this super-easy, super-simple Meatball Parmesan Casserole does indeed deserve to have bestowed upon it the title of "casserole."

Spoon over noodles or warm garlic bread slices for one super easy and satisfying meal. It makes for a great filling for meatballs subs, too.

And it truly doesn't take much effort to be enjoying its cheesy deliciousness!

Provided your meatballs are already made ... or you're taking advantage of prepared frozen meatballs ... that is. I used my Baked Homemade Meatballs that I had already prepared in advance, so assembling the casserole and popping it in the oven was a snap.

Just place pre-cooked meatballs in a baking dish and smother them with sauce. Then bake them for a bit and sprinkle on a good layer of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese ...




Bake for a bit longer until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just beginning to brown a little in spots ...



Then dig on in to the cheesy, saucy goodness.

Enjoy the meatballs just as they are ... spoon them over noodles or warm garlic bread slices ... or, serve them as a filling for meatballs subs. We like to spoon ours over noodles or garlic bread.

But hey, we're not picky ... we'll take these tasty meatballs any which way we can!





Meatball Parmesan Casserole


Ingredients

20 to 25 large meatballs, cooked*
2 (24 oz.) jars marinara sauce
2 c. shredded mozzarella
1/4 c. shredded or grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 to 2 T. chopped fresh parsley {optional}



Directions
Place meatballs in a greased casserole dish. Pour sauce evenly over the top. Baked, covered, at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
Uncover and top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes more or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and just beginning to brown a bit.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley {optional}.
Serve as-is, spooned over noodles or warm garlic bread slices, or as a filling in sub rolls.
* Make your own homemade meatballs, or use prepared frozen meatballs. You can also use the smaller frozen cocktail meatballs ... just pour in enough to fill the bottom of the baking dish in a single layer with perhaps a few stacked up on top.

Enjoy!
