Where to get educated?

[nebraska 10]

I'm a real newbie here and I really want to not only pick the right area to start trading, but also what product to choose to get education on starting out in trading.

 

I've seen some posts that reccommend using a practice account and just learn the ropes by doing. Is this the best way.

 

Also, which market to start. The majority of my experience is in equities, but the forex markets do interest me.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Great article by Feb, did he ever return? In the areas that I feel most comfortable on the web, I have had to do research, do trial and error, at times pull back and examine to progress that I am making, discontinue some things, put more effort into others.
