I have been looking online for a book to buy to start things off does anyone have any recommendations?

www.babypips.com is a nice place to start the basics. It was part of the sites I slept on during my formative years in trading. I strongly recommend it. However, whether reading babypips, other resource materials or not; it still boils down to practicals. If you read all you want but don't demo trade or back test whatever information and strategies you've assimilated from books or sites it amounts to nothing. Practice is the main thing in trading. You need to burn the midnight oil doing that. Trading is a serious ~~business~~ career.

Again, once you think you've found your footing in demo trading and want to go live; learn Money Management (MM) and don't ever force trades. Let the trades come to you. If trades delay or don't come, act like nothing wrong happened. No one needs to be trade every day to be profitable.

Certainly. Reading will never guarantee success in trading although I would say it’s also helpful but everything will still matter on how experienced you are in trading. That’s why some chose to have a demo account first before they start to engage in live trading because trading needs more practicals especially in dealing with emotions as you can’t learn to manage your emotions just by simply reading and studying trading. So do prior reading and let your experience do the rest.
