Honestly I believe that most traders started without any financial background and knowledge. So I don’t see any reason why you cannot become a professional trader if you have the desire and skills. You could always treat it as a hobby at first in order to see if this business will suit you as trust me it’s not for everyone. You need to be prepared to invest a lot of time in order to study and explore the trading matter. Babypips school here is quite useful for newbies.
As for the books, there are some threads in which this has been discussed, they could help you: Pipcrawler’s Favorite Trading Books
