Peak Performance Course

for Investors and Traders


By "Market Wizard Trading Coach" Van Tharp

This home study course is Dr. Tharp’s masterpiece. It’s designed for all levels of investors and traders—beginners, advanced, unsuccessful traders seeking to improve their performance, and successful traders who want to be more successful. 

It contains five books by Dr. Tharp, and four audio CDs. These CDs help guide you through exercises in the course on such topics as: how you think when you make profits and lose money; stress reduction; programming yourself not to repeat your mistakes; and trading unemotionally.

Dr. Tharp carefully crafted the information from his studies into a model that people like you can use to improve your skills and increase profits. Furthermore, Dr. Tharp only studied people whose professional and personal lives were balanced. As a result, when you apply his model, it typically helps you lead a much happier and more satisfying life in all respects—not only in your trading.

Do You Make Money in the Market or Do You Plan to?

If so, and you are interested in learning how to make an extra $10,000, $50,000, $250,000 or even a million dollars in extra cash profits from the market over the next year or two, then you should read this entire letter.

I assure you it will be well worth your time. You’re going to learn to do exactly that with your trading or investing—regardless of any limits you may have put on your time — by discovering the simple "edge" you need for super success in the markets today.

Once you master the key principles, often overlooked by even the most experienced investors and traders, you’ll finally understand and possess the same money-making and cash-flow secrets that have catapulted certain astute traders to superstar wealth and success status. You’ll understand why they continue to make money while everyone else is losing their shirts.

It has nothing to do with following conventional market wisdom. Nor is it any ego driven nonsense that passes for investment strategy. Instead, it’s contained in a unique system of mental technology pioneered by peak performance coach and investment psychologist, Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.

Dr. Tharp is a consistent, astute and systematic researcher of human behaviour. The opportunity to learn from someone of his calibre does not come along every day. He has collected psychological profiles from over 5,000 investors and traders and has personally interviewed hundreds of top people in the field to determine what makes them excel and how they make immense profits.

You’ll love how thorough and systematic Dr. Tharp is. Once he obtained all of the information from the top investors and traders, he carefully crafted it into a model that people like you can use to improve your skills. The model he developed really works to improve profits. In fact when Jack Schwager interviewed 16 of the world’s best investors and traders in his book Market Wizards, he also elected to interview Dr. Tharp as a Peak Performance Trading Coach.

Here’s what another professional in the field says about Dr. Tharp’s work:

"I have a Masters degree in a multi-disciplinary area that involved a considerable amount of psychology, and I continually read in the field from the academic literature to Tony Robbins. Your work is, in my opinion, simply the best. I want to thank you for the efforts you have made on behalf of people like me. I’ve followed your work since inception and commend you on the wealth of knowledge you have added to the field." —Brian Casselman, Portfolio Manager.

And there’s an extra benefit. Dr. Tharp only studied those investors and traders whose lives really seem to work. As a result, when you apply his model, it typically helps you lead a much happier and more satisfying life.

What kind of profits can you expect from Dr. Tharp’s course?

How much you make depends upon the amount of work you put into applying the principles of the course to your investing and trading. It will also depend upon how much money you have in your account, and the amount of risk you are willing to take. But if you are a losing trader with sufficient equity, you still could easily use Dr. Tharp’s course to become a full-time professional.

Here is what one long-term trader said about how Dr. Tharp’s Peak Performance Course helped him to become profitable:

"For the first 10 years of my trading career I was, on balance, a losing trader. ... Finally, I ordered the home study course. I got into it the first night. I was excited about this business and the future, so I knew I had to change me in order to get on track. So, without hesitation, I rolled up my sleeves and started the training.

"How well did it work? .... In 1993 I had to pay taxes on my trading profits. While April 15th is typically not a fun time, I was delighted to have to pay taxes on gains ... not get a deduction for losses. In fact, I was very close to making up all of my losses for the previous 10 years! My return for 1993 on my personal capital was a gain of 253.8%.

"After 7 months in 1994 I am again in a situation where I have created a taxable event and, I have made up for any loss that I have ever taken! And as of the end of July 1994 my personal gain is 226.5% (this is on top of the 250% in 1993). In addition, I have begun trading personal IRA money in the futures market following the conservative mode of my system. Year-to-date I am currently up over 100% following the conservative mode!

"So confident am I in my abilities that I have registered as a CTA and have begun managing money for other people. My composite return for clients in 1993 was a gain of 74.7%. (I trade my client’s money in a far more conservative fashion) and at the end of the first seven months of 1994 the composite performance shows a gain of 54.7%.

"But the results can’t only be measured in dollars. Dr. Tharp’s training helped me to become a better person. Improved trading was just a beneficial side effect. I am happier than I have been in years, focused on what is important to me, and in better physical and ‘spiritual’ condition than I have been in years." —George Moldenhauer, CTA

Another investor who ordered Dr. Tharp’s course wrote the following six months later:

"First, let me say that I now devote the majority of my investing time and energy in myself, instead of spending countless hours studying market theories, newsletters, and statistics. I made more money during the first four months after completing the course than I had made during the previous three years." —George Hull

Here’s what a broker said about his performance with his client’s accounts after studying and applying the principles in the course:

"I took your course so that I could better understand my customers. I have tripled my business, while significantly helping my account’s performance. " —Russell Herman, Prudential Bache Securities

We have numerous success stories like these in our files — all from people like you. And if they can do it, you can do it too. To get started, you simply have to apply the course materials. It’s that simple.

Is the course for everyone?

The Peak Performance Course includes over 1,000 pages of exercises and insights about investing and trading. It will take time and effort and the willingness to dig down deep inside to complete. We estimate it takes approximately 2-3 hours per day for approximately 2 to 3 months to complete the program. In fact, the best results usually come from going through the course thoroughly several times.

As a result, the course is most appropriate for success-driven men and women who really want to succeed in the market and who are willing to devote the time and energy that it takes to master the key principles. It’s also for brokers and institutional investors and traders who want to improve their company profits.

But we expect you to be logical, ethical, practical, open-minded and willing to tenaciously persevere. You must also be willing to invest the effort to better yourself and your trading business. You must be willing to really work to change yourself and your approach to the markets. If that description fits you, then the course will help you immensely.

The course is also for those of you who have considered casting off the handcuffs that tie you down to consistent tax write-offs every year for investment losses. Deep down you know there is a better way for you to direct your energy that will make you consistent returns. Contact us

Twenty-four money making secrets you can use now!

1. Imagine having a model of how the best investors and traders do it! It’s what they do in common that’s the real secret behind their greatness. Dr. Tharp has spent 12 years determining what those common elements are and he teaches them to you in his home study course. His ten-task model for investing and trading success will help you dramatically increase your profits.

2. Dr. Tharp’s course consists of five volumes and four cassette tapes. You’ll get a complete volume on each of the following topics: risk control, stress control, turning around losing attitudes and beliefs, developing discipline, and making market decisions. And the four cassette tapes will help you put what you learn into practice.

3. Discover 15 ways to control your mental state. When you master these techniques you’ll bring much more discipline to the task of making more money. What’s more, those techniques will not only help you in your trading, they’ll help you in every aspect of your life.

"Since taking your course, I find it easier to stand back and observe my own mental and emotional state while trading and, if necessary, alter the emotional state rather than let it alter my trading strategies." —Frederick W. Landru

4. Discover self-confidence — the one trait that is most essential if you are to follow your game plan for making money. Dr. Tharp’s course will teach you techniques to overcome fear and nervousness and bring out the big winner in you.

5. Make a habit of keeping an investment/trading diary that will put you in control and help you gain insight into getting more profits out of your trades. You’ll gain a perspective on what you’ve been doing and why. Put yourself in charge of your future.

"I discovered your course and enrolled. I spent four months reading and studying the material until I felt confident with everything I learned. At this time, I began trading again and I could not believe the difference in how I felt when trading. The anxiety level was gone, sleepless nights disappeared." —Terrance R. Caffey

6. People do not trade the markets. They trade their beliefs about the markets. Discover about the six levels of belief and how those beliefs influence your investing and trading. Be able to adopt beliefs that will help you become more effective. And most importantly, learn the beliefs that only the best investors and traders have and adopt them for yourself.

7. Discover how to avoid the school of hard knocks. Save thousands of dollars that you might have lost in the markets by doing it right to begin with instead of making lots of costly mistakes.

"I have learned many techniques on keeping track of how and why I make a trade plus guidelines to follow prior to making the trade." —Gary Edlin

8. Be able to deal with investing and trading mistakes immediately so that you don’t have to repeat them. Dr. Tharp’s third tape in the course provides you with an exercise that will help you avoid similar mistakes in the future. This tape alone is worth thousands of dollars to you in preventing losses.

What if you’re a beginner or what if you’re already successful?

Dr. Tharp’s Peak Performance Course is for all levels of investors and traders—beginners, advanced, losing investors/traders who want to improve, and successful investors/traders who want to do better. Many of the best investors and traders in the world have Dr. Tharp’s course and use it regularly. Can you afford to be without it in the zero-sum game of trading?

"Thank you for teaching a beginner and saving me thousands of dollars and anxiety ridden hours."—Leopold Hauser IV

In contrast, Mr. Larry Satell manages over $40,000,000 trading gold mutual funds. Larry has done both the home study course and private consulting with Dr. Tharp. Here’s what he says about the course:

"I considered myself to be a top successful trader before taking this course and even more successful after completing "Peak Performance." I highly recommend it as a requirement in the basic training category to anyone interested in trading. That goes for beginners, average traders, as well as successful traders." Larry Satell, President, Satell Investment Management, Inc.

Perhaps you’ve heard of Jack Schwager’s book, Market Wizards, in which he interviews some of the world’s top traders. One of these Market Wizards has a training program for traders. They keep five copies of Dr. Tharp’s home study course on file in their library for that training program—it’s that good. In addition, at least six other Market Wizards have Dr. Tharp’s course as part of their personal libraries.

9. Discover how to prevent disasters. Think about how this will change your life knowing that your trades and investment are in safe hands you can trust—yours. You’ll develop two or three options to respond to everything that could possibly happen to you. The results will be consistent profitable performance.

10. The course will teach you a self-improvement process that will apply to all areas of your life and can be used throughout your life. The benefits of going through the course just once can last a lifetime, however the benefits of going through the course four or five times are absolutely incredible.

"While sitting under a spruce tree in a lush Alaskan forest, success stories flowed from my mind, to the pencil, onto the paper for nearly two hours. My personal life feels balanced. I’ve made some money. And I’ve accomplished many great things as part of an outstanding team. ... But the success I most celebrate is the improvement process you helped instill." —(Anonymous, name withheld by request)

11. You’ll learn how to turn complexity into simplicity. And, interestingly enough, simplicity will make you the most money.

People reported improvement of at least 100% when they’d completely gone through the Peak Performance Course several times. Think what an improvement of 100% would do for your trading or investing. For example, if you make a 20% return on your money, you could easily start making a 40% return.

All you need to do is plan some time to devote to yourself. Aren’t you worth the time it takes to study Dr. Tharp’s course? How much are the increased returns and improved lifestyle worth to you?

When people are over stressed, their capability of doing things well shrinks dramatically. It’s directly related to what happens to the brain.

During stress, the hormone adrenaline is released into the bloodstream. This has the effect of diverting blood from the brain to the major muscles of the body. It means that you can run faster, however it also means you are much less effective at processing information. In fact, the conscious mind, which normally has the capacity to process seven chunks of information, shrinks down to the point of being able to process only one or two chunks of information.

Think what that means to most investors and traders. They get stressed— either by the market or by something going on in their lives—and can no longer effectively function. They either freeze or keep repeatedly doing what they are already doing—only with more energy. Neither response is healthy in today’s fast markets.

Dr. Tharp has the solutions to help you with stress management.

12. One whole volume of the course is devoted to stress management. You’ll learn how to measure your stressors and your stress protectors. More importantly, you’ll be able to add enough stress protection so that you can withstand the effects of today’s markets. But the course also helps you deal with stress in many more ways.

13. You’ll learn the one activity that almost all top athletes use in their training for peak performance, however only top traders and investors seem to use. This activity alone could mean a major difference in your profits. Why? When you use it, you’ll know how to deal with problems almost instantly and avoid the stress response. It makes the trading process almost automatic.

14. Relax more and have fun in your life. Relaxation transfers directly into your trading so that what was once a chore is now a joy. And you’ll not only enjoy more profits, your family will appreciate the changes in you as well.

"Volume two of the course taught me how to treat the cause of stress. I believe volume two to be the leading edge on this subject. This alone has changed my life and the life of a friend and trading partner." —Thomas Smith

Can the course really help me overcome my trading problems especially those that seem like self-sabotage?

The area in which people find the Peak Performance Course helps them with the most is overcoming self-sabotaging behavior. For example:

• Do you have trouble pulling the trigger and frequently miss big trades or investments that you are sure would be winners?

• Do you seem to have a ceiling in your investing/trading? For example, do you make a specific amount of money only to find that you give it all back?

• Do you invest for excitement? Do you find that you take high-risk trades and can’t help yourself?

• Did you have a big loss at some point in your investing/trading history and then find that the loss still affects what you do in the market today?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you need to work on yourself to overcome self-sabotage. Dr. Tharp’s Peak Performance Course for investors and traders is the perfect solution for you to overcome these problems.

15. The course presents three ways you can overcome self-sabotage — dealing with stress, working congruently as a whole human being, and dealing with feelings that get in the way of investing. Each of them will help you invest or trade more effectively.

16. If part of you wants to trade, while another part of you wants you to be very conservative, then you may have to do some conflict negotiation to allow your differing parts to work together. Many investors and traders have benefited from following the course exercises in conflict resolution.

Ray Kelly was a floor trader on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. The traders on that exchange were hurt the most by the 1987 crash. After doing some "parts work," this trader avoided the crash and then made $650,000 in just a few months after the crash more money than he had made in any year prior to that. And he said he owes it all to the parts work, as described in Dr. Tharp’s course.

17. If your emotions get in the way of your trading, the techniques for emotional control presented in the course will help you. In addition, you’ll learn specific techniques for dealing with the stored feelings—which are a major source of self-sabotage.

18. But most importantly, you’ll learn the secrets behind why you act the way you do and how you manage to sabotage yourself. Once you have that information, you’ll be well on your way toward becoming a more successful investor/trader.

"The Peak Performance work has sufficiently changed my attitudes and beliefs to empower me to flow with the natural. And my life and our family’s life is so much richer for it." —Paul Wenning

What about techniques for successful investing or trading? Can the course help me develop a more effective system or plan for trading?

One of the greatest strengths of the Peak Performance Course, is that it helps you find the kind of investing or trading that is just right for you. Jack Schwager, after writing two Market Wizard books and interviewing over 40 top investors and traders, concluded that one of the most important qualities of these market giants was that they all had found something that fit them perfectly. Unfortunately, until now, it was very difficult to figure out what was right for you — that is, until Dr. Tharp came out with his course.

19. You’ll learn to understand the structure of your thinking and decision making process. Once you understand how you function, it will then be much easier for you to develop a business plan to achieve peak performance.

20. You’ll learn how to determine what time frame is right for you and what kind of investing or trading is right for you. Until you know that, trying to make money in the market is like treading water — you may stay afloat, however eventually (without something that’s right for you) you’ll probably tire and drown.

21. Dr. Tharp’s course will teach you how to develop a complete business plan for investing or trading. Most businesses fail in the first few years and the same is true for most investors and traders. A common reason for failure is that business people fail to develop an adequate business plan.

Investors and traders are no exception. Few of them have business plans to help them deal with anything that could go wrong. But in Dr. Tharp’s course you’ll learn how to construct a business plan to meet your needs for consistent peak performance. Discover the real secret behind successful investing and trading — the mastery of taking low-risk ideas.

"Your course has finally shown me in plain English how to develop a statistically valid trading system." —Scott Kruse

You want to be able to take the best and most profitable investments and trades. More importantly, you want to be able to sleep easily at night knowing that your risk is fairly constant and you still have the potential to make a great deal of money.

"Your course enabled me to develop, complete and apply a comprehensive trading plan, not just a system. Through your course, I came to realize that a good trading system is only one component of an overall trading plan. … the guidance from your course enabled me to create a system that complements my personality rather than conflicts with it." —Larry Lawrence, Lawrence Financial Services

22. You’ve heard people say "Let your profits run and cut your losses short." One of the real secrets to peak performance is being able to do it. It’s really as simple as it sounds, and you’ll learn how to do it in Dr. Tharp’s course. Getting out quickly from just one losing investment or trade will probably pay for the price of the course. And you’ll learn how to do it consistently for the rest of your life.

23. Most importantly, Dr. Tharp will teach you about how money management systems, as opposed to rule based systems, are the real key to making big money in the markets. You’ll learn to assess your risk tolerance and then devise a method that’s just right for your temperament and personality.

"Before your course, I had never really thought much about risk. Now I am always conscious of the risk in my portfolio and in every trade. … No single trade is that big a deal." John Higgens, Ph.D.

24. Have you ever wondered how intuition works or how you can apply it consistently? There are three types of intuition. If you’re good at intuition and able to control your risk, then perhaps an intuitive system (as opposed to a mechanical system) is right for you. The course will teach you the difference between intuition and being "into wishing" so you can allow your instincts to work for you.
