As you get familiar with how the markets work...start to paper trade(its not ANYWHERE like the real thing)

In the 80s Greenline (CDN discount brokerage) use to offer a simulated trading contest. Unlike paper trading this actually involved calling in trades to simulated brokers. It was pretty much as real as you can get from a simulation. On top of that they also paid out cash prizes in the $1000-3500 range for the top 3. I won it twice in a row and learned a lot (esp about options). Not sure if anything like this exists now but if you can find it I'd recommend it.
