Hello

I am new to trading -- for the last 2 months I have been reading options books, taking some online classes and have viewed the TradeKing tutorials. I have also viewed all of BetterTrades 16 (yes, 16) DVDs....though not without falling asleep or becoming irritated by their constant sales pitch. After all this, I know that I need further, or rather, PROPER instruction in the form of a real-time, on-site (as opposed to online) trading "lab" or class. Somewhere I can learn to place the actual trades myself, as opposed to watching the instructor do it for him/herself.

 Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find such programs, or perhaps, mentoring?

 Thanks

I started a account on investopedia and played with fake money for a few months. I knew nothing at all. I would just purchase to see what happened and figured out what call, puts, and other terms are by just playing around. It is free to join and there is a dictionary and glossary with a lot of info. investopedia.com try it
