RE:How did you guys learn how to trade? If you want to start trading, don't take advice from people on the message boards. Personally, I come to the message boards to find links to verifiably true information that I haven't yet found myself, such as news releases from the companies I'm interested in etc. You don't need to have training but training may help you. Try googling any questions you have about trading, there's a lot of free info on the internet! GLTY.
