new to trading member needs advice

I am really getting a lot out of the posts on Elite. I am very new to the idea of trading and am getting snowed under by the complexity. I have been doing lots of reading and have done a few paper trades. What I would like from you experienced traders is advice on how to build from a simple system, maybe tracking one stock,and watching only a few oscillators, to more complexity. What books, software,sites,etc have you found to be the most helpful. Since 20/20 hindsight seems to be so good, what do you wish you'd have known when you started? Many thanks, Breezy:)
 
I m also new to this business and have been struggling to find out what works for me.

and I hope my post will help newer traders.

the Books I like

Tony Oz Books
How to take money from wall street /and
The Stock Trader

Van. K. Tharp Book
Trade yout way to financial Freedom /or
Financial Freedom through Electric Day Trading.
(I prefer Financial Freedom through EDT tho and I think one of them is enough for me)

the strategies I like

concentrate on a few stocks using support and resistance. Cut loss early, take profit early by setting profit target.(easy to say but it was hard to learn this)

and most important :
never trade with real money while learning.
 
If I had to do it over again I would find a good chat site (there are several) with a reputable trader (an actual mentor would be much better if you can swing it). I would paper trade in that room for two or three months until I was making money consistently then start trading small. I could have saved thousands on books and commissions and bad trades, and a lot of time.

Would you mind tell where I can find the chat room?
are they free or ??
 
Theres no such thing as a free lunch, Im afraid. Tradingfrommainstreet and AllenZ's rooms are both under $200 bucks I think which is really pretty cheap and those are good traders. Realitytraders is a little more expensive and LBR's room runs $350 a month. Nihaba Ashi has a free room but theres not a lot of education there but its a start if your strapped for cash.

p.s. one way or another your going to have to pay up.:)
 
Thanks to those who have taken the time to give tips. I take all of them seriously and will try to learn from others experiences.

It might be a relic of the bull market (ROFL) but you might want to check out this book: The Trillionaire Next Door: The Greedy Investors Guide to Day Trading by Andy Borowitz. His brilliant insights include buying the ones that are red and selling the ones that are green. Also buy anything with mirco, systems or dotcom in it. He also says to live off ramen noodles until the stock does go up. Website is sexytrillionaire.com
