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.

Challenge and reward

I'm currently doing research on the R-multiples of mistakes people make, but there is a problem. I don't have a lot of data. So here is the challenge. Look over your trades for the last year, especially if you keep them in terms of R-multiples and expectancy like I recommend. Notice when you made mistakes -- where a mistake is not following your written rules. And determine the R-multiple cost of that mistake. And yes it is possible that some mistakes might make you money.... those are the really bad ones that instill bad habits.

Anyway, when you finish, send me your mistake data. And in return, I'll promise to share with you my R-multiple data on mistakes. And this applies to you even if you've never bought any of our products or done any workshops. However, if that's the case, please read all the blogs on Tharp Fundamentals so there you are sure that you understand them.
