Think Or Swim, is an options trading platform, that has some very good software for analysis. You can get a free paper trading account from them. Probably some of the best training you can get would be to take that paper trading account, reduce the amount of cash (it starts with $1M) to the amount you really have to invest, and then start investing.
It lets you go back in time and buy or sell on specific dates in the past. This allows you to back test mechanical strategies. But for working with real time events, paper trading lets you make your trades with no knowledge of the future, see how you do as time goes on and have no money at risk.
Always a good idea if you're going to do anything with increased leverage (like shorting or options).
