Is there a book that explains it all?

Quote from vk60546:

Is there a book that explains in some details how traders can make money, ranging from a simple buying and selling stocks to options, shorts, etc...?

If you are pro, I'd be interested in knowing how you made your first money trading (don't need the specific numbers, just info on how you made your first check)

Thanks,
VK

edit - also, it would help if you could estimate the start up costs that are required. Are there absolute must have subscriptions, feeds, etc... ?

edit no. 2 - is there a platform that I could trade with funny money (not real money) similar to forex platform? That way, I could similate trading without actual real losses.

If the above boils down to "what book(s) will explain how I can start making money so I can retire soon or make lots of money in the near term", you are in for a very very very very cold & painful reality shock.
