Roth IRA's are great.
Use who ever you feel good with ETrade, Scottrade, TD, etc. I use Scottrade because Spaf recommended it to me.
Understand Roth rules first, here. http://www.fairmark.com/rothira/roth101.htm
There are income limits.
Paper trade like 350Z suggested using this. https://www.thinkorswim.com/tos/disp...age=paperMoney
Use only a broad index etf and start slow. I use one and only one market, the S&P. There are others out there and I know them but I know the S&P the best and I don't have to keep track of to many things at one time.
I have a small account so I trade all or nothing to cut down how much the buy and sell fees eats into my trades.
Use limit orders ALWAYS! Use stops in case you get killed on the drive to work and your trade goes to crap. This does nothing for you, cuz your dead, but protects your families inheritance so they can bury you in a nice box.
