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.

Clear Downtrend

Even thought we now had a pause in interest rate hikes, stopping after 17, my analysis of the market shows it to be in a clear downtrend. This weekend, I could only find 26 stocks with efficiencies above +10 and 2 with efficiencies above +15. Compare that with 91 stocks with efficiencies below minus 10. Lots of good short candidates.

The market pundits are now saying there is a 70% chance of a recession. And when the U.S. sneezes, the rest of the world seems to catch a cold.
