Dr. Van Tharp’s course is not a "get rich quick" scheme. It is a path of self-transformation. The market is a mirror; it reflects exactly who you are. To change your results in the market, you must change the person looking back in the mirror.
“This course isn’t about finding the perfect entry. It’s about becoming the kind of person who profits from any market condition.” — Inspired by the work of Dr. Van K. Tharp
To think like a Tharp-trained professional right now, implement these three practices immediately:
The full course consists of (or volumes) and four audio sections containing over 50 tracks. It is an intensive program estimated to require 2–3 hours per day for 2 to 3 months to complete thoroughly.
Perhaps one of Dr. Tharp's most significant contributions to the world of trading is his pioneering work on "Position Sizing"—the "how much" part of a trade. While other educators focus on entry and exit signals (the "when"), Tharp tirelessly argued that position sizing is the real key to making big money in the markets. He teaches you how to assess your risk tolerance and devise a method for sizing your positions that is perfectly suited to your temperament and personality. This, combined with the psychological work, forms the complete "Tharp Think" methodology.

The course focuses on identifying "psychological bugs" and eliminating them.
A central part of the course is a daily routine designed to build discipline: Van Tharp Institute Daily Self-Analysis – Assessing your mental state before starting. Daily Mental Rehearsal
