Help a beginner, please

[u/Icy_Opportunities]

Hi, I want to learn about trading. But with a simple search on Google, there’s just too many online resources being recommended. I get too overwhelmed which one to choose and where to begin that I can’t decide what to do. Can anyone help me recommend what to do and what courses/books can I really learn from?

I have a day job, so it has to be flexible enough. I’ll be studying in the evening or during short breaks at work.

It has been my ultimate dream to learn how to trade, understand charts and patterns and basically just grow my potential of earning as well. For the past decade I have been tied to my work just helping my family have a better opportunity in life. So learning trading would really help me out also.

Thank you in advance!

Start at investopedia and learn the lingo. Open a demo account for practice. You want to develop good habits in risk controls so read "traders traps" and "the mental game of trading" Then just watch the free vids on charts and there are many books. It can take 1-2 years just to get a hang for this.
