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.

Safe Strategies

Q: Safe Strategies talks about bear mutual funds but recommends not to use the leveraged funds - why should one not use the leveraged funds and presumably can one use ETFs instead of a bear mutual fund?

A: That strategy specifically controlled the maximum exposure that you would have and the amount of risk you would have. If you used a leverage fund, then all the metrics no longer work and the risk is quite large.
