start online, checkout youtube, lot's of free videos. http://kolegjifama.eu/materialet/Biblioteka Elektronike/Investing For Dummies, 6th Edition.pdf
If you want to learn technical analysis free, here is a basic YouTube course. It's called "Basics of Trading Video Course from InformedTrades.com." It's from 2007 but I think it's pretty good. There are 77 short lessons. It's only in 480p max so don't use IE11 if you're using Win7. Use all information it provides at your own risk. ----------------------------------- All of my posts are for educational purposes only. They are my personal opinion. They do not represent any trading advice.
I find it useful to view forums to see what techniques people are using and keep up with how the weak hands trade, also there is plenty of entertainment. Some of this information can be used to your advantage. For example take a look at a market with a intraday trade that puts in the classic MacD & RSI divergence, retail love to play divergence and you can catch some nice trades when they get run over.
Here you go read this. It's dry and there is no secret sauce but you will be light years ahead of most retail if you take it all in properly.
Youtube has lots Trading Videos, but I bet 99% of the traders havent earnt a dime from Trading, just trying earn some $$$ from advertising.
