Like specializing in any field, even trading requires lot of passion and hard work. Firstly learn Technical Analysis. Take up some course in it (Don't go for the costly one's as they are mostly humbug). Normally these courses don't take more than few weekends. Don't fully trust the examples shown as, more often than not, these examples are the one's when that particular technique / indicator has worked the best. Learn everything, but trust none until you have finished the next level .
