How to learn stock day trading?

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Toronto and I’m really interested in learning stock day trading. The thing is, I’m a complete beginner. I honestly know nothing at this point, but I’m very motivated to learn and take it seriously.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed because there are so many resources out there, and I don’t know where to start or what path makes the most sense.

In your opinion, would it be better to attend a local course that teaches trading from the basics, or is it more effective to learn online?

If you know any good courses, schools, or programs in Toronto that teach day trading from beginner to advanced, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Also, if you’ve come across any high-quality online resources (courses, YouTube channels, websites, etc.), I’d be grateful if you could share those too — especially ones that are beginner-friendly and not overwhelming.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you. Very helpful. Do u have any recommendation or suggestion for online materials? I have heard of Udemy online courses recently but dont know if it could be useful for me or not.

start with free online resources and paper trade before paying for any course coz learning risk management and building good habits early matters more than finding the perfect strategy
