This may sound harsh but if you lost $9000 on a software mistake, you are way ahead of yourself in terms of trading live. That kind of mistake tells me that you may not have done any simulated trading, or even backtested your strategy.
If you want to be a trader, you must first determine what kind of trader, swing trades, positional trades, day trades, scalper etc. Once that's done you need to determine are you going to be a breakout trader, trend follower, fade trader, formation trader etc. There is so much information here that can help you in that regard. Before you spend money on education, get as much as you can here, and that may help you decide how much and what kind of education you need.
You should also take the advice of managing RISK, and for you, the best way to do that at the moment is not trade live until you are sure of what you are doing. You not only want to protect your Monetary Capital, but you also want to protect your Emotional/Psychological Capital as well.
