Follow Cobra and read his intraday and daily summaries will be the best way to learn. I'm simply applying the ideas and methods learned from his analysis on SPY to futures and forex.
Start with a paper-trading account and do some trades with SPY while learning is certainly very helpful.
Of course, trading with real money is different and is the last step of the training, i.e. training of your psychology. You have to have an iron heart and discipline to be successful in the end.
You can try different time-framed trading methods and will find the best way that suits your life style and psychology.

Thank you very much for your advice, I am doing it right now, but feels I have a long way to go.
It seems that reading books does help beginners. I think most HTers read Al Brooks' books ... I have his first one as well. It would be a good starting point. However, you have to trade to grasp the ideas.
