Our Super Trader
Program is the ultimate program for serious traders. It requires a
full two-year commitment and gives you the opportunity to do extensive work with me
during that two year period.
We
have several pre-requisites and you will need my personal approval
to enter the program. First, you must complete both my Peak
Performance Home Study course and my Peak Performance 101 Workshop.
The Super Trader
Program
You are entitled to
up to 30 hrs of consulting with me, plus three personal evaluations
– a psychological evaluation with suggestions; a trader skills
evaluation with suggestions; and a business plan evaluation.
These evaluations involve up to another 20 hours of my time.
Thus, you get up to 50 hrs of my personal consulting time
during the two-year program – a $50,000 value.
You’ll also get a
monthly phone conference with me, to assess your progress.
These calls will last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending
upon your needs and are valued at well over $10,000.
From a prior Super Trader:
"By being on the Super Trader course,
attending all your seminars and having private consultations, I know
that I never have to fear burn-out again. Also my trading has
improved dramatically with my win-loss ratio improving from 2 to 1,
to 5 to 1 and the number of losing days each month has come down to
4 from 14.
"In fact, I was able to make the cost of the program in
the first week after my consultation with you. One of the great
by-products of the program has been the improvement of my personal
life. The program is really a journey in self-improvement which
never ends. The Super Trader Program is a must for the beginning
trader as well as the experienced trader. In fact, it is a must for
anybody who is serious about trading and improving themselves."
-- Kevin Thomas, London, England
There is a lot
more…
We want everyone in
the program to be able to solve psychological problems as they come
up. As a result, in
addition to my consulting work, Super Trader also includes Carol
Adams' 28-day consulting
program.
Van Tharp
Institute client’s who have taken that program just rave about it.
This adds another $6,000 value to the Super Trader Program.
In addition, you
will be entitled to attend each of the workshops that The Van Tharp
Institute puts on during the next two years.
Those workshops include:

Peak Performance 101 Workshop, which concentrates on the Van Tharp

You will also be
entitled to attend any other new courses that are held by the Van Tharp
Institute. However, this
does not apply to workshops that are conducted for specific
companies or “consulting workshops” that Van may do.
Notice how many
different workshops we provide at the Van Tharp
Institute. If you took
each workshop once, you could pay over $25,000.00.
But, as a Super
Trader - you get to repeat them as often as you like during your
two-year program. That’s
an amazing offer! Come to all of our courses again and again, as
often as you like throughout your two-year program! That is another
$25,000 value for you.
And there’s
more – you can bring a
friend, family member or colleague to our signature courses - Peak
101 or Blue Print for Trading Success - for half price! At anytime throughout
your two-year program. That’s an additional $5000+ value.
But let’s make
it more exciting!
The Super Trader Program is the best deal because
we’re also including all of the Van Tharp
Institute's products in the package.
This includes:
·
The Peak Performance Home
Study Course
·
The Systems Development Home
Study Audio Program
·
The Business Planning CD
series
·
The Psychology of Trading CD
series
·
Position Sizing Videos
·
The Secrets of the Masterys
Trading Simulation Game Upgrade
·
All Market Mastery newsletters that you request
·
The SafePaths™ software.
You are also
entitled to register for any Van Tharp
Institute teleconference that’s conducted during the two years.
The total value of
these products could equate to over $4,000
So
there you have it, the total value of the entire Super Trader
Program is well over
$120,000.
But
you get the whole program for a fraction of that cost!
Here’s what you
can expect to accomplish during the two years if you are willing to
commit and really go for it.
· First,
you’ll be asked to get yourself really clear psychologically.
As a pre-requisite you should immediately do the Peak
Performance Home Study course and take the Peak Performance 101
workshop as well as the Blue Print for Trading Success Workshop. You might
also want to sign up for the 28 day program with Carol Adams.
· When
you’re ready, you’ll then do a psychological evaluation with Dr.
Tharp. This involves
taking a basic test to indicate how well you know yourself and your
issues. People who’ve
gone through this process think it is a life changer. It is
certainly something that clears out most of the issues that people
have that prevent them from making profits.
You’ll get to do this with Dr. Tharp’s assistance by
phone or you can take the test and then Dr. Tharp will instruct you
in how to improve.
· Next
we’ll need to make sure that you really understand the key factors
in trading system design. We’ll
suggest that you read Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom, Safe
Strategies for Financial Freedom, do the systems course and
workshop, Blue Print for Trading Success and perhaps several
of the other “strategy” type workshops – including Swing
Trading and Day Trading.
· Then
when you’re ready, you’ll do a trading knowledge evaluation with
Dr. Tharp. This also
involves taking a test to help you make sure you really understand
the fundamental issues involved in trading or investing success.
Once again, you’ll be able to do this with Dr. Tharp’s
assistance by phone or you can use Dr. Tharp’s time after you’ve
completed the test to work on improvement.
· Next,
you’ll be asked to develop a trading business plan.
We’ll give you templates to follow as you develop your plan
and the material from the two evaluations will really help you.
Dr. Tharp will consult with you on the trading business plan
until both of you are happy with it.
· The
trading plan will also contain at least some of the strategies that
you’ll be trading or investing with during the next few years.
If you’ve already got those strategies, then we’ll help
you improve them. If you
don’t have the strategies then Dr. Tharp will offer suggestions
for how to complete them.
· Dr. Tharp will follow your progress executing your trading your
plan. You’ll have
monthly calls with him detailing your progress and checking in with
him on how your trading plan is working.
This is the sort of consulting that he usually does with top
hedge funds.
So that’s what
you’ll get when you sign up for the Van Tharp
Institute Super Trader Program.
The total value of
the program is over $120,000. But , you will get the entire Super Trader program for just
$45,000. You will pay an initial deposit of $15,000 and then
three semi-annual payments of $10,000.
Do you still think
the fee is a little steep?
Let’s point out
some facts: First,
you’ll be one of the very few people that will be getting personal
access to me and private consulting, at a fraction of my normal
rate. Your total
payment for the entire program is less than the cost of the
consulting! Big firms
are usually very happy to pay the full consulting fee.
Second, if you have
as little as $200,000 in equity to invest, then you will probably
make up the cost of the program in terms of more consistent and
profitable results during the two years.
Think about it! All
you’d have to do is increase your returns by 10% of your base
capital each year and you’d pay for the program.
That’s easily possible.
Many people do that with one significant paradigm shift.
Third, most good
traders know that one careless mistake can cost them $20,000 or
more. This program will
help you instill a discipline to eliminate many such mistakes and
thus will pay for itself many times over.
Furthermore, the average investor with $200,000 could easily
lose $40,000 in the bear market that we have ahead of us.
But as a Super Trader, you’ll develop a full scale
trading/business plan that will help you
make profits instead.
Last, a four year
education can easily cost you as much as $60,000 a year.
Yet the value of that education doesn’t even come close to
the value of the Super Trader Program. Therefore you should be
thinking of it as investing in your career!
I once had a
dentist sell me a piece of land that I wanted for $125,000 so he could get an
M.B.A in order to become a trader.
That’s quite ironic because most of the information
you’ll learn getting an M.B.A. won’t even begin to teach you how
to become a trader. So
he sold his lot to me for $125,000 to pay for his M.B.A. when he
could have just paid me a third of that and gotten the necessary
education to become a great trader!
In the mid 1990’s
the first trader to sign up for Super Trader program made $50,000
within the first two months – much more than the cost of the
program. And the
original Super Trader program only had about half of the offerings
that we are now including in this new program!
My time is extremely limited.
We only have a very limited
number of places in the Super Trader program, so if you are really
serious about becoming a top trader and working closely with me, we
suggest that you contact us as soon as think you may be interested.
First we will check available slots in the program, and as mentioned
earlier you will need to be admitted into the program and there is a
process in place in order to do this.
Please take the
time to read the question
and answer page, then call my office for any further
information that you may require. If this is the program for you,
then I look forward to working with you over the next two years!
Sincerely,
Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.
President
