Reddit reviews Day Trading and Swing Trading the Currency Market: Technical and Fundamental Strategies to Profit from Market Moves

Day Trading and Swing Trading the Currency Market by Kathy Lien (a free pdf is available online, I didn't link it so it doesn't get too much notice and is taken down) is also a great book to start with, for beginners especially. She goes into fundamental analysis to some extent, and there is a very helpful formal approach she discusses in Chapter 8, on how to develop a trading plan.

StockCharts has some great articles. There was one by Andrew Aziz, I think, on studying candlesticks in charts. Or it can be that people are just blatantly copy-pasting. I have seen Kathy Lien's chapters ripped off and claimed by some other authors as their own.

Read Books about trading and technical analysis. They really helped me with the psychology aspect of trading as well. I started with this. Tons of books out there on trading.

My main attempted ventures were foreign currency exchange. It's one of the easiest to get into and relies on a mix of statistical analysis and news analysis.

My plan was to do some hardcore studying and practice using simulation sites, and once I could consistently turn a profit above 5 or 6% (less fees, etc), I would do it for real.

Good luck!
