For now, poke around the FPA (this) site. There's a whole whack of free stuff that has been gleaned out of paid programs, and also deep dark realities that brokers with a conflict of interest won't tell you.
Also, over and above the education sections on this site, we're currently putting our heads together to help people like you even more.
In other words, don't pay out of pocket until you've really used all of the free stuff you can find, and do some demo trading. DON'T live trade until you've demo traded for at least six months. Some brokers don't put time limits on their demos. If you can't find one that offers this, post back here and I'll tell you one.
