I would recommend that you learn about Technical Analysis first. Develop simple trading strategy and paper trade(no money) it for a couple of months, or longer. See what works and what doesn't . Readjust your strategy and paper trade some more. Until you can show some consistent, positive results. Then
open an account and put small amont of money, maybe $2000.00 and trade with that for maybe a year. Then you will know what to do next.
Most importand is to learn money management. That is the key. Protect your capital.
Books and YouTube are your best sources to learn.
Tons of free, good lessons on YouTube.
My recommendation for a book, one and only:
"Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets, A Comprehensive Guide To Trading Methods And Applications" by John J. Murphy
Best money you will ever spend.
And for a beginner, I would consider trading stocks first.
