recommendation for technical trading course

Hey everyone!

I tried a search for "trading courses" "courses" etc, but couldn't seem to find anything, so hoping I can get some advice.

I spent the last half of 2013 tentatively entering the market with some small(ish) trades; I figured to jump in and learn on the fly, which has been fun but also a bit foolish.

I don't want to sign up to any of the 1,000+ "courses", which mainly seem to spruik some hidden secret for a fairly large subscription fee.

What I'm looking for is a basic education in how to read charts / analyse companies etc.

Again, I'm new to this, so if this is one of those retarded questions that noobs ask, please be gentle.

Thanks guys!
