	Hello! First of all, love the site. Seems like an incredible source of information and insight. I'm looking to start trading, but hope to glean some insight and advice before I jump in head first. The reading has already begun - Trading in the Zone, Mind over Markets, Candlestick charting, etc. My biggest dilemma right now is the following: 1) I work full time on a taxable bond trading desk, ~50 hours a week, usually 6:30 AM - 4:30 pm M-F. I do not want my interest in trading to impact my productivity at work, but I do think the access to a bloomberg terminal will be beneficial. Is there a beginner-friendly market that I can trade before or after work hours without handicapping myself? If so, where's the best place to practice paper-trading this market, and what reading material would you suggest? Thank you in advance for any responses, and thanks to Soultrader for creating such a great resource for aspiring traders!

After reading your initial question and the responses you've so far received, I'm still wondering why you're not trading something you know. Or are you not trading? What exactly do you mean by "work full time on a taxable bond trading desk"?
