The
Official Van Tharp Website for Trading Education
Helping
others become the best trader or investor they can be has been
Tharp's mission since 1982. Dr. Tharp offers unique learning
strategies, and his trading education techniques for producing great traders are some
of the most effective in the field. He teaches a set of ideas
and principles called "Tharp
Concepts." These principles take the mystery out of trading
by helping you understand who you are as a trader, how your personal
psychology can work for you instead of against you, how to think
about and manage risk, and how to develop a winning trading system.
"Trading
and investing are very simple processes and we human beings try to
make it into something much more complex. Unfortunately,
we have a lot of biases that enter into
trading decisions.
"I
believe people
get exactly what they want out of the markets and most people are
afraid of success or failure. As a result, they tend to resist
change and continue to follow their natural biases and lose in the
markets. When you get rid of the fear, you tend to get rid of the
biases.
"As
for risk, most people don't understand it,
including a lot of professionals, and what's really interesting is that once you
understand risk and portfolio management, you can design a trading
system with almost any level of performance." —Van K. Tharp
While
Van Tharp's expertise is in the area of finance, his mission is to
touch people in a way that changes them for the better. Through his
books, study programs, and workshops, you will learn about system
development, position sizing, risk control, R-multiples, the
psychology of trading and much, much more!
