Van Tharp rocks!!!

great book, an essential part of the learning process. this book is where i first learned position sizing, and its a great precursor to Fred Gehm's book. this is a great book for total beginners, but the expert trader can still learn a few things.

only thing about Tharp that i am not crazy about is that he doesnt trade. he is smart and has a lot of knowledge, but to truly understand trading, you must trade. so you cant take everything he says as gospel. but even for experienced traders, if you read this book and dont learn something useful id be amazed.

I'm reading Van Tharps book too and I think it's excellent.
I didn't know he's not a trader, he talks as if he is. I'll keep that in mind as I continue to read.

What is the title of Fred Gehms book?

I also didn't know he's not a trader..

Now I have to re-read the book again.. LOL...

Dr. Van K. Tharp is a research psychologist who received his Ph.D. From the University of Oklahoma, Health Sciences Center, in 1975. He has spent his career studying how stress affects human performance. His strongest interest is in the psychology of winning—especially as winning applies to the markets. In 1982, Dr. Tharp developed his Investment Psychology Inventory, a test that measures winning and losing traits. Thousands of investors and speculators—myself included—have taken this test, which includes a written evaluation and a ten-minute phone consultation.

Dr. Tharp has written five books on successful investing which provide the core of his investment course. He is a contributing editor for Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities and has also written numerous articles for other financial publications.

Dr. Tharp is a frequent guest on financial television and radio programs, and has spoken at many investment conferences.

Ironically out of all the original wizards he was the one that stuck in my mind, despite there being other notable luminaries like Richard Dennis, William O'Neill etc (all the rest were traders in the book) on the list.

It's really an excellent book to read. Lucky I got the copy of it
Currently I'm looking for kathy lien's Day Trading the Currency Market : Technical and Fundamental Strategies To Profit from Market Swings

anybody has a pdf copy of it?

if anyone would need a pdf version of van tharps book, PM me.

I assume you're talking about free transmission of pdfs (against the copyright). No thanks. I'll pay and honor the copyright and let the author get his/her cut. If someone is willing to share trading information, I don't mind paying a fair rate for it. Otherwise, why would anyone bother to write a good book on trading?

If I assumed wrong and this is endorsed by the author and publishing company, than my apologies.
