Unfortunately, and at the risk of sounding harsh, you are going to have to do what most successful independant traders have done:
1) Study, come up with a winning system, take what money you have and start trading. Get arse kicked by market and loose all your money.
2) Work shitty job until you have enough money to start again, all the while studying some more. This time its different.... you get chewed and spit out even quicker this time, and this time you also owe your broker a hefty chunk of change too.
3) Start to realise a few of the real truths about trading, as you work that shitty job some more to come up with another pot of money, first of all to pay back your debts, and then start trading again.
Continue this cycle a few more times, and you will know a *little* about the markets. I am sorry, but independant trading is no more the key to financial freedom than becoming a Formula 1 driver is. Yes, you can earn a lot of money if you become a successful trader or a Formula 1 driver, but, I wouldn't pin all your hopes on becoming either.
If you can, try to get a job with a pro trading firm (making the coffee, running copies, whatever) and work your way up. Working for a pro firm will teach you a lot about discipline. It will clear out a lot of your psychological weaknesses, a thing which it is very hard and very expensive to do on your own account. And remember, most of the "big", i.e. famous traders worked for serious firms before trading on there own. That is where they got the experience, and the money.
Oh, and, good luck! If you really want it, it can be done.
