There are many thousands of people who buy and sell stocks speculatively but the number of those who speculate profitably is small. As the public always is “in” the market to some extent, it follows that there are losses by the public all the time. The speculator’s deadly enemies are: Ignorance, greed, fear and hope. All the statute books in the world and all the rules of all the Exchanges on earth cannot eliminate these from the human animal. Accidents which knock carefully conceived plans skyhigh also are beyond regulation by bodies of coldblooded economists or warm-hearted philanthropists.– Reminiscences of a Stock Operator

The following post contains video resources. Some of this material especially the material from Francis Hunt and David Paul on the psychology and mindset of trading is quite important. It is best to learn about the psychology and mindset of trading while learning other typical trading topics such as technical analysis and fundamentals. It is just as important in the long run and having discipline and the right mindset goes a long way to preventing losses and maximizing gains over the long haul.

Jim Simons
Not trading information specifically but, he is a legend. Mathematician, code breaker turned trading genius. He co-founded Renaissance Technologies in East Setauket, New York, a town away from where I grew up. Renaissance Technologies, Ren Tech, makes huge yearly gains in it’s Medallion Fund. The company does a lot of quant work and hires PhD scientists, mathematicians and etc. Working for this company would be amazing to say the least. So much to learn there working with the talented people he has helped to pick and shape over the years.
Renaissance’s flagship Medallion fund, which is run mostly for fund employees,[8] is famed for the best track record on Wall Street, returning more than 66 percent annualized before fees and 39 percent after fees over a 30-year span from 1988 to 2018.[9][10]
