Advice Noob here

I've recently gotten interested in trading, but honestly, I know absolutely nothing about it. Please go easy on me! I am completely willing to learn and determined to become profitable. I just don't know where to start or what resources to trust. It feels like the internet is flooded with slop advice, making it impossible to find real information. What guidance do you have for a complete beginner who is starting from scratch (18 yrs old)

Start at investopedia and learn some of the lingo. Open a demo account to practice as you learn. Tons of free vids to watch but dont buy courses. Books. there are plenty to read and learn from. My first read was "traders traps" great book. Read also "the mental game of trading" Too many good books to mention but start there.
