his modeling work with top traders,
Van Tharp
has discovered the blueprint for trading success that will ensure
you consistent prosperity as a trader.

precise steps that you should take.
Dear Trader,
This course is a complete
structured program that will launch you to a more advanced skill
level in your trading. You’ll
learn strategic, focused steps that will serve you throughout your
entire trading career.
Overall it’s a course that offers an immense amount of
information about what most would consider the unattractive part of
trading, yet it is the most critical to successful trading.

During these intensive, hands-on
three days, you will learn 17 clear and concise tasks to master that
will take your trading from ho-hum to visionary. You
will leave with a thorough checklist of action steps to guide you to
a higher level of performance.
In just three days you’ll see
how all of
Van Tharp
’s strategic trading concepts fit into one seamless design for
more predictable trading results. Your trading will never be the
same.
This course illustrates the
relationships among the steps so that the process is logical and
reasonable. Moreover,
Van Tharp
will show you how to take each step experientially, so you really
get it. Dr. Tharp is an
expert in delivering elicitation questions to bring forth each
person’s most important issues.
"This
is the best conference I have ever attended. This is the hardest
conference I have ever attended. I had to ask myself some of the
most difficult questions I've asked in a long time...Van and Mel are
not just great trading coaches, they are great people. You are a
breath of fresh air in an industry full of hucksters." —S.W.,
Rancho Mirage, CA, Past Attendee
"The
course far exceeded my expectation and threw up ideas which had just
not existed on the mental horizon. Apart from being a better trader,
this course will make me a happier and more complete human being. A
stupendous course." — Satyendra Kumar, India
Let’s talk about a few of the
key concepts that will be explored in depth at this workshop.
You
need to assess your beliefs about trading and about yourself.
Nobody actually trades the
market. Instead, you
only trade your beliefs about the market. At first this is a
difficult concept to grasp. But if you begin to jot down some of
your beliefs about trading using “I am,” “I feel,” “I
experience myself as,” statements, you will see what I mean.
Your beliefs about trading guide your trading results. It is
easy to get to a certain point in this type of exercise and get
stuck. In this workshop,
Van Tharp
will personally guide you through the exploration of your belief
system about trading. You’ll
be amazed at the results.
“The BluePrint for
Trading Success is a fantastic course! An incredibly comprehensive
plan to take anyone willing to apply the steps taught to the level
of a master trader. In fact, so much material is covered it would
have been overwhelming if not for the open approachableness of Van
and Melita to answer any and all questions. I feel like I’ve just
been placed in the fast lane to market success! This seminar is very
much worth the investment.” —
Peter Swanson, Lufkin, TX
"The course was
excellent! It gave me a clear idea of what is required to become a
successful trader. The opposite of most trading seminars that teach
what people what to hear, rather than what they need. Thank you for
making this course available." — Ariele Rodino, United
Kingdom
Objectives
set the roadmap for the entire system development process.
System experts know that
understanding your objectives thoroughly is half the battle in
developing a system, but most people have never taken the time to
consider their objectives.
Your objective is
your goal, your target—what you want your system to accomplish.
How
would one know how to get someplace if they didn’t know where they
were going first? There are endless configurations of objectives.
The point is you need to know specifically what it is that you are
trying to attain; only then can you develop a successful,
profit-driven plan of action.
In this workshop you will work
through questions to help you determine exactly what you want out of
your trading system.
Some of those questions include:
·
What percent would you
like to increase your account by each year?
·
What percentage
drawdown are you willing to tolerate?
·
What kind of
statistics will you collect on a regular basis to monitor your
trading progress?
Van
Tharp
will give you 25 specific statistics to get you started!
“This
course clarified for me how to get my business plan done, and
actually enjoy doing it.” — Paul,MD
We’ve
found that most traders and investors are missing one key ingredient
in their objectives—and that’s the ingredient that will make
them financially free.
For example, at a recent workshop
Dr. Tharp was told of a trader who made 1000% return in one year.
But that trader was missing this critical ingredient.
And it’s probably the difference between whether or not all
of that profit will be put to good use or lost in future trading.
At this new workshop, we’ll tell you this key ingredient
and teach you how to include it as part of your objectives.
“The
course was very worthwhile for me. I find that the broad summary of
the overall process of developing skills allowed me to put things in
a better perspective. I have a much better idea of which areas I
need to put the most emphasis and work on. I also found the
interaction with the other participants invaluable.” — Craig
Herdman,
Phoenix
,
AZ
, Past Attendee
What
markets will perform well in the next 5 years?
Successful traders know how to
access the big picture of what the market is doing overall.
As part of your blueprint, you’ll learn Dr. Tharp’s
interpretation of the big picture and how to determine the big
picture for yourself. This
is a very important skill, and if you really take the time to do it,
it is probably worth the price of the workshop all by itself.
Your
business plan will need to include three strategies that are
compatible with the big picture.
Although there are
thousands of systems out there, there are not many types of
strategies. Learn the
essence of the key strategies that you could use, the general
picture of how they work and how you can adapt them for yourself.
We hear from our students that
they know business planning is important, but in some case they
don’t even know what a trading business plan should look like.
You’ll leave this workshop knowing what to strive for and with a
template in hand to follow as you progress.
“Prior
to coming to this workshop I had come to a realization in trading
that I needed help structuring a business plan, knowing how to
approach and measure strategy development and how to deal with
personal traits that reoccur and are not beneficial to me and
trading. These expectations were met and exceeded. Two things I
found particularly valuable 1) How personal beliefs translate
through market beliefs all the way to the specifics of each
particular strategy. 2) The structure of materials and workbook is
laid out to easily take home and continue with the work.”— Jim
Sterk,

Personal edges set you off from
the crowd. Having an
edge in the markets isn’t just a slight advantage; it could be the
pivotal difference in your success. So it’s very important to list
your edges in your business plan and to be able to capitalize on
them. Learn the key
edges that almost any investor has over market makers or
institutional investors. Or
if you are a CTA, hedge fund, or portfolio manager, learn your
specific key edges.
Learn
the 8 critical areas of contingency planning!
In this workshop, Dr. Tharp will
share mistakes that other traders have faced, so that you can find
out how to generate an extensive worst-case contingency plan.
You’ll learn strategies of how to deal with each disaster so that
they minimize the effect on your trading business.
Learn the key areas around which your worst-case contingency
plan should revolve and get a good start on creating them at this
workshop.
This process could take you six
months if you did it by yourself.
However, one of my supertraders did the hard work for you and
is willing to share the essence of his worst case contingency plan. In
addition, in past workshops, the entire group has usually been able
to double the number of things you need to plan for to prevent
disaster. What’s
it worth to you to save six months in planning time?
Well, that’s one of the key benefits of this workshop.
“I
came to learn/confirm a valuable foundation/blueprint for becoming
the best trader I can be. I got that and more. Good sharing of ideas
with other attendees. Purpose for existence discussion was an
enriching experience that I valued highly. Thank you.” —

We’ll show you a formula that
will allow you to compare your system with any other system in the
world and rank that system. Thus,
you’ll know whether you have a weak, average, good, excellent, or
superb system. This is
new information that we’ve just introduced into our curriculum and
you’ll learn it here.
Would you like to know a simple
way to get to know your system well without a lot of cost?
Using this method you’ll be able to understand if your back
testing was accurate. We’ll cover this on day two of the course.
You’ll
have worksheets from which to write your business plan and a
structure through which you can develop three systems to fit the big
picture. It’s a lot of
information, but think how you’ll feel when you understand and
have all of this key information at your fingertips!
Who
Knows What You Want better Than You?
Here are just a few of the
exercises we’ll be covering in the critical self-assessment
portion of the workshop.
- Learn your personality type and how it impacts trading.
- Learn about the most important attitude that you must have as a
trader and assess yourself on it.
- Learn about your beliefs and values and how to assess yourself.
- Go through worksheets to assess your key issues so that you know
what could happen that might really interfere with your trading.
"I think the outline
of the course itself is extremely helpful. It does give me a
blueprint of what needs to be done... I have a really good idea
not only of all the work I have to do, but the order to do it
in." —Ed Reardon, IL
One
of the steps will separate you from other traders and launch you
toward top trader status.
This step alone will leave such
powerful tools at your disposal that you’ll wonder why you never
thought of doing these things before. Dr. Tharp will go through each
of these suggestions on a step-by-step basis to show you what you
need to do at home. And if you take home at least three of these
with the commitment to really doing them, you’ll be unstoppable.
“A
seminar that covers an enormous range of topics, but all were
covered adequately. Very much appreciated Day 3—this was
surprising to me as to just how critically important this is. The
opportunity to learn this in a “laboratory” environment was
terrific: I can’t imagine that my work on PPC [Peak Performance
Course] would be the same (I’ll start it later this year) without
this seminar. I suspect that I will look back at this seminar as a
pivotal career moment (but I suspected this beforehand…)” —

You’ll
learn how to develop a top down approach to discipline.
You’ll get worksheets to begin this process and exercises
to complete so that you can apply what you’ve learned as soon as
you return home. Few
traders have the kind of discipline we’ll be teaching, but
you’ll leave the workshop with all the tools you need to apply and
use this strategy. And
if you combine top-down discipline with regular self-work, you’ll
be amazed at the difference in your trading.
“My
self-discipline had been slipping for trading and with it was going
my drive. This course delivered the structure for getting back on
track. Thank you.” — Richard Fotiades, Port

Learning and studying are very
important factors in any endeavor; however, the only true way to be
successful as a trader is to take
action. Get in there and learn from your experiences. If you are
truly dedicated to being a successful trader, then after this
workshop you will have all the tools that you need to set yourself
up to win!
We’ll finish this three day
workshop with a review of all of the steps, and you’ll get a
chance to start developing your plan to put everything into action
when you return home.
When
you leave this workshop you’ll have:
- Completed worksheets so that you can
develop your own trading business plan.
And when you leave, trading won’t just be a hobby for
you. You’ll have
the core of your new plan to turn it into a professional
business. We find
that less than 5% of all traders and investors have a business
plan to guide their trading.
But when you leave this workshop, you’ll have
everything you need to join them.
Imagine what a boost that will be to your trading.
“Challenging and very
helpful. The best part was the complete structured program for
becoming a great trader, around which the workshop is based, and the
52 exercises and worksheets that we are taking home. I really feel
that I have what I need to continue this work at home in the
upcoming months.” — Daniel Fylstra, Incline Village, NV
- You’ll also have the logic worked out
for how to develop at least one new trading system designed for
your personality. It comes from the intersection of three sets
of beliefs that you have and well show you exactly what to do.
You’ll have worksheets completed on the major steps
involved in developing a great trading system.
When you get home, all you’ll need to do is put the
steps into practice. Most
people fill their heads with all the details of various trading
systems and never even begin to develop a sound system.
However, when you finish day two, you’ll have a broad
overview of exactly what you’ll need to do.
Perhaps for the first time, you’ll be able to see the
whole forest, instead of just the trees.
You’ll have the structure of what you need to do. How
do you think you’ll feel when you have that in place?
- And lastly, you’ll have a daily
procedure worked out to improve the most important factor in
your trading—you. You’ll
have three daily routines in three distinct areas that, if you
put them into practice, will make you a better, happier, and
more effective trader. In
addition, we’ll help you develop the structure for a top down
approach to discipline, which I believe is the key to your
success. What
you’ll have in place is critical advantages that few other
traders have. And
this will not only improve your trading, it will improve your
entire life.
And
isn’t that
what you really want?
“...
I thought the course was very well-organized and delivered. I
especially liked the ordering of the material as it followed the
sequential steps necessary to becoming a great trader. The course
content will provide an excellent resource, not only in finishing my
business plan, but also in keeping me on track in the future. I
thoroughly enjoyed it and found the content very useful. I actually
feel like I’ve come away with a complete “blueprint” I can use
to make sure I’m doing all the necessary steps to become and
maintain myself as a great trader. It will be very useful in
finalizing my business plan.” — Rick Freeman, Dublin, CA

A Message from Dr Van Tharp:
Some
people take years to discover just a portion of what you are going
to learn in this new three-day workshop. But you’ll do a lot more
than just learn it.
I have
worked closely with traders and the markets for over 20 years.
I’ve seen the good and the bad; which has given me experience and
insights into what works and what doesn’t work in the trading
game.
The
same questions, fears and lessons continue to rear their heads year
in and year out, and I have therefore designed this course to let
you know that you don’t have to go it alone; many traders have
come before you and this is your opportunity to learn their
successes and mistakes and what it really takes to be a great
trader.
My
commitment is to give you a thorough overview of what it takes to be
a successful and consistent trader, and a 17 step action plan to be
the “great trader” that you truly want to be.
So sign
up now and come and join me for an exceptional three days on your
trading journey. — Van K. Tharp
