Learning trading on my own, need help with direction

I just got started with trading, going through books like Trading Psychology, Technical Analysis, and the Intelligent Investor. The materials are informative, but generally isn't a breezy to comprehend. I am also practicing charting, doing things finding Support/Resistance, looking for trends. This takes time and I'm trying to tame my expections and not rushing

Going into this, I am giving myself a year to learn, comprehend and become good at the beginner stuffs that I mentioned, but I am hoping to receive tips, helps, from real people who have done this before. What would be good tips for newbies like me to look out for, what to avoid, what to pay attention to, where can I find more free information.

Thank you if you have read through and please leave me with some advice.

Edit: thank you to all that responded, my intention for this journey starts out with making money, but truth to be told, I'm seeking direction for self educating. I know I will lose money, but that's why I am aiming to just protect my nest egg for a few years while making mistakes. Many voiced concerns here really cement that idea, so thank you
