Main description
A fast-paced guide to mixing the perfect blend of psychology and strategy—from trading legend Van Tharp!
How do you transform yourself from
mild-mannered investor to Super
Trader? Think clearly. Plan accordingly.
Commit completely. In other words, become
a trader. And no one is better suited to help
you make the transformation than legendary
trading educator and author Van K. Tharp.
Combining the sharp insight and technical
brilliance that has drawn legions of investors
to his books and seminars, Tharp provides a
holistic approach for becoming a successful
full-time trader. His system—a meld of
investing psychology and sound trading
practice—is the secret to achieving optimum
conditions that produce results in both bull
and bear markets.
Using the lessons of Super Trader, you will
approach trading as you would a small
business—realistically, systematically, and
enthusiastically. Drawing on his decades of
experience, Tharp has created a simple plan
designed to help anyone master the market.
You can put this plan to use immediately in
order to:
- Master the psychology of trading
- Craft a “business plan”—a working
document to guide your trading
- Develop a trading system tailored
for your personal needs and skills
- Create position-sizing strategies
to meet your objectives
- Monitor yourself constantly to
minimize mistakes
Throughout the book, Tharp asks the pertinent
questions you must ask yourself about
becoming a trader, being a trader, and succeeding
as a trader.
The rewards that come with being a Super
Trader—both financial and personal—make
you feel as if you can leap small buildings in
a single bound. Whatever your skill level,
Tharp provides the formula for succeeding
in a field where most people fail.
