Learning suggestions?

Good Evening,

Short Version: How should I go about learning to trade, any particular books/courses/videos etc. I know that this is a way to make money and if you are that good why would you tell other people and so most courses etc are just scams but I really want to get into it more.

I would like to learn how to trade but I'm not really sure where to start and was hoping some of you monkeys could point me in the right direction. I currently have a demo account and overall I am in the green but I cant be entirely confident that this isn't just me getting lucky. Essentially so far I have just looked up a few pieces of technical analysis techniques and applied like a cross-referencing system so if 4/5 signals say do this buy then I buy or sell. But I feel that over the long run this would probably result in me blowing up as I basically arbitrarily pick when to close a trade as it doesn't seem to go where I wanted in the time I wanted. For example I don't really want to have a open trade over night as at least at this point (in a real account) I wouldn't be able to do that.

So basically does anyone have advice for me on how I can properly get started / into trading?

Thanks In advance
