Hi Tantalos, as someone new myself, Id highly recommend going through the '4 steps', its alot of reading, it could take days , if not weeks, but I guess the theory behind it is, if you dont have the patience to go through that, you're not going to have the patience to learn trading full stop.

What Id also recommend is finding a system somewhere as something to work off, just as a means of LEARNING to trade(as oppose to thinking the system will be your profit making be all end all).
I havent even started with a live account yet myself, but im loving learning because its all free.
Best of luck!
