Bitcoin Forum

I could likely find an answer to my questions if I browsed this site for a while, but I'm required as a noob to make a post so here I am.

I threw a smidgin of USD at bitcoin right after the April bubble collapsed, did a bit of trading and then got bored until I logged back into my account this past week to find my investment had grown an entire order of magnitude in a matter of months. Now I'm interested in getting more serious.

I would like recommendations for bitcoin trading software, and also recommendations on educational resources I can use to teach myself about trading strategies. Right now I'm trading through the Bitstamp website and the lack of stop orders is getting annoying given the crazy volatility.  I also don't know jack about trading, other than how to read a candlestick chart and the definitions of market, limit and stop orders. Feel free to recommend super technical stuff, as once upon a time I was a college math major.

Thanks in advance for any replies! :)
