Financial Trading

[burnpark]

I've started looking into Financial Trading (Spread) and I've done a lot of research in graphs, but need some help in the following matter please:
Good book(s) to read to learn more about trading on the FTSE as a beginner
Which platform to trade (Tradefair, Paddy power, city index etc)
I have found the graph studying has helped with horse trading, and would like to get involved in financial trading
Thanks in advance

I really enjoyed this one. Although, the subject is predominantly focuses on candlesticks.
