You don't mention what type of trading but when you think you are "ready to dip your toes in it" go back and study for 6 more months.
Stick whatever money you were going to play with into a norisk investment account, get stuck into studying more whichever type of trading you want to do, use practice accounts/play competitions etc to get used to the real market trading.. otherwise you are just going to burn a hole in your pocket
