I think the best way is to open an
demo account and start trading and get a trading experience while not loosing all your savings.
After you lose all the 'demo' money you can open another demo account and try a new approach, and so long, until you find out what suits you best or eventually decide to step out of the game.
I think a wanna-be trader should first of all trade and watch the charts, and not spend time on developing econometrics systems or reading books about George Soros.
