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!

Ingredients
Meat Mixture
  • 1/2 lb Lean Ground Beef (85% to 90% lean) You can use all ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Ground Italian Sausage (you can use all sausage)
  • 1/2 tsp Coarse Salt (1/4 tsp table salt)
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Cheese Mixture
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese (or Cottage Cheese)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (if your pasta sauce is salty, decrease to 1/4 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley
Remaining Layers
  • 1 24oz jar Pasta Sauce (about 3 cups) (I prefer marinara, or use your favorite brand)
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Spinach Leaves, optional (fresh, or frozen, thawed)
  • 5-6 No Boil Lasagna Noodles (or regular uncooked lasagna noodles)
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Instructions
Cook Meat
  1. Set pot to Sauté and add the beef, sausage, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring, until the meat is cooked.
  2. Remove meat, drain, and set aside. Clean out pot and add 1 1/2 cups water to it.
Mix the Cheese Mixture
  1. In a mixing bowl combine the ricotta, egg, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley. Use a fork to mix thoroughly. Set aside.
Make the Lasagna
  1. In a 7" x 3" or 6"x3" springform or push pan, make a layer of the no-boil noodles by breaking them and fitting them like a mosaic to cover the bottom of the pan.
  2. Spread 1/3 of the pasta sauce over the noodles, covering them all.
  3. Spread 1/2 of the meat mixture over the sauce evenly.
  4. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture evenly over the meat.
  5. Sprinkle the spinach (if using) over the cheese mixture evenly.
  6. Add another layer of noodles, press down on them a little.
  7. Add another layer of 1/3 of the sauce.
  8. Add the second half of the meat.
  9. Add the second half of the cheese mixture.
  10. Add another layer of noodles, the last 1/3 of sauce, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, and 1/2 cup of parmesan.
  11. Spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and lightly cover the pan with the foil, enough that water can't get in.
  12. Set the pan on a trivet with handles and lift them into the inner pot that has 1 1/2 cups of water in it. You can also use a sling to set the pan on the trivet in the pot.
  13. Close the lid and lock in place. Turn the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
  14. Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button (or dial) and choose 22 minutes. It will take about 5 minutes or so for the pot to come to pressure.
  15. When the cook cycle has ended, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes (10-15 minute Natural Release). Then, turn the knob to the Venting position to release any remaining steam.
  16. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid. Use silicone mitts, sling, or good pot holders that can get wet to lift the rack with the hot pan out of the pot to a cooling rack. Be VERY careful as it could slip off the rack. 
  17. Carefully remove the foil. Turn on your broiler to 450° with the oven rack in the middle to top 1/3 position in the oven.
  18. Set the pan on the oven rack and let the cheese on top brown to your desired amount. Watch it closely as it doesn't take very long. Every oven is different!
  19. Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before releasing from the pan. This will help it maintain its shape and cool down just a bit.
  20. Carefully (pan and lasagna very hot) release the lasagna from the springform pan while it is on a plate.
  21. If you used a push pan, set a large can of soup or veggies on a plate and set the push pan on top of the can. gently, and carefully push the sides of the pan straight down. Wear oven mitts or some kind of hand protection. The pan and the lasagna will be very hot.
  22. Then slide another plate under the lasagna. You might need to use a spatula to help slide it over.
  23. Serve with salad and some crusty bread!
Recipe Notes
This recipe works best in a 7"x3" springform or push pan. It will not fit in a 2" deep pan.
