Develop trading instinct

Hi everyone - I'm interested in entering sales and trading. I think I can understand the the markets, but I'm having trouble translating that understanding into trading ideas, forming a portfolio, and being able to defend that portfolio. Is there anything I can read, or a trading platform to practice on? Any help would be appreciated!
