Welcome! I am Dr. Van K. Tharp. I am the founder and president of the Van Tharp Institute and am regarded as an international leader among professional trading coaches and consultants.


I have been helping others become the best trader or investor that they can be since 1982. I offer unique learning strategies, and my techniques for producing great traders are some of the most effective in the field. Over the years I have helped traders overcome problems in areas of system development and trading psychology, and success-related issues such as self-sabotage.


To learn more about me, my personal newsletters and my trading game – please visit me at the Van Tharp Institute at www.iitm.com.

I am also a regular contributor on the Trading Education website. For more of my insights, you can sign up for their free weekly trading newsletter at www.TradingEducation.com.

Reply to Lisa

The key to profits is to take LOW-RISK ideas and I've already defined what that means.

Academia has put out that if you want to make a lot of money then you must take a lot of risk. I think that its BS and that the academic community has had a hard time justifying it's stance.

Lisa's comment simply reflects the academic viewpoint.
