Read through every page, twice. Then start putting things into practice. Once you think you're comfortable in your strategy, write down your plan of attack and strategy/rules for trading. Seriously, write it down in MS Word, print it out in huge font, and pin on the wall next to your trading computer.

YouTubers...eh, there are only a few that I like although I'm sure there are more out there I just haven't found. This guy explains things pretty well and knows how to actually use indicators, unless like most of the shills on Yt. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yk_6ks1g1ipJJsxtLKLcA He doesn't show trades but the basic underlying concepts are all you need. The rest is up to you on how to employ those techniques into your owns strategy.

Only other thing you need is patience, which is where I believe most traders fail. You need to have patience to wait for those ideal trading setups to materialize. Sometimes this can days or even weeks before you find one, when you're first starting out. Then you get in impatient and trade off some half-ass setup that doesn't quite mark all the check boxes for your ideal 'buy signal' and then you get burned.

Watching someone else make trades hasn't ever taught me anything, because every single trader is different. Different lifestyle, time available for trading, risk tolerance, and 10+ other factors means what works for them is probably NOT going to work for you/me.

Thanks for sharing the software you use. I also just borrowed the book "Mind over Markets: Power Trading with Market Generated Information" by James Dalton, which according to the book description, is "an examination of market profile charting concepts." I was wondering if you happened to have used this book before. Link to the book: https://www.amazon.com/Mind-over-Markets-Generated-Information/dp/0934380538/

Must read:

Stan Weinstein's Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556236832/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oV-dBbGGDR5RJ

Available at most public library networks as well if you are a broke college student like I was. :-)

It is an absolute must read as an intro for technical analysis. Just keep in mind that things will need to scale slightly due to faster movements in today’s electronic trading environment.

I'd recommend Understanding Options by Michael Sincere. That book helped me understand spreads, covered calls, and Greeks.
https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Options-2E-Michael-Sincere-ebook/dp/B00GWSXX8U/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=options&qid=1557183764&s=gateway&sr=8-4

The computer you use doesn't matter all that much but I would recommend getting at least 1 extra monitor. If you do a lot of traveling you can get cheap portable monitors on amazon.

Super simple to get into trading... even simpler to lose money.

Read this first and then come back.

This should give you a few weeks of reading.

Books I’d recommend for trading are

Secrets of a pivot boss- franklin Ochoa

https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Pivot-Boss-Revealing-Profiting/dp/0615391273/ref=nodl_

Mastering the trade - John f Carter

https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Trade-Second-Techniques-Profiting/dp/0071775145/ref=nodl_

Sorry for the late reply - the lowest I could find was https://www.amazon.com/Acer-TC-885-UA92-Desktop-i5-9400-802-11ac/dp/B07R8WJMW6. It has integrated graphics that support dual monitors. I honestly would wait and get something with faster RAM and more cores. This one is upgradable if you want to add more than 2 monitors but you will need to switch power supplies. Slickdeals has PCs that pop up weekly for cheaper than you can buy them.

Another thick book that covers a lot of stuff:

Trading Systems and Methods by Perry Kaufman

https://www.amazon.com/Trading-Systems-Methods-Wiley/dp/1119605350

​

Another classic trading book

The Ultimate Trading Guide by John Hill

https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Trading-Guide-John-Hill/dp/0471381357

This. And his second book https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Techniques-Day-Trading-Probability/dp/1721151265/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539452280&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=andrew+aziz+books&dpPl=1&dpID=41Ofy1obp4L&ref=plSrch

Siiiiiize.
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LC49HG90DMNXZA-Curved-49-Inch-Monitor/dp/B072C7TNC5

Here is the book.

https://www.amazon.com/Day-Trading-Advanced-Patterns-Identifying-ebook/dp/B07Q4QZ7LL/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=jesus+arreola&qid=1554490387&s=gateway&sr=8-1

You should read building algorithmic trading systems by Kevin Davey
There is tons of information on sizing, risk management, risk of ruin of a strategy and how to automated them

https://www.amazon.com/Building-Winning-Algorithmic-Trading-Systems/dp/1118778987/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2MD5SFTI494L&keywords=kevin+davey&qid=1565714567&s=gateway&sprefix=kevin+da%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-2
