Wow, I say that the 1st reply is probably an overhyped scam.
If you think that you're going to somehow start trading and making tons of $$ off the bat, you're kidding yourself. Being a financial trader is harder than any other profession out there. You're putting your $$ into an arena where everyone else is trying to take your money from you. It takes years of learning on the side, and developing a system that suits you and your personality before you consistently become a profitable trader.
You probably will ignore that, but it's the best bit of advice anyone will give you.
I'd say start out slow and learn everything about the markets you can while figuring out what time frame you want to trade on. It's also ok to paper trade at first and just get a grip of reading the markets.
The markets are a minus sum game. There is no money created in the process, when in fact $$ is subtracted on both ends through commissions, etc.
Before you put a dime of $$ into the market as at trader, I'd recommend learning how all the various markets are interlinked (stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, international, etc) and how to interpret them.
