 A very practical investing/trading guide. September 30, 2009

This is a book to reveal the secrets of getting the holy grail of investing/trading.
Tharp put the most important emphasis on psychology which is normally ignored by most of the people. Tharp suggests some way to deal with our trading psychology problem of which anyone helps a lot.
And then the guide to write a trading plan to guide trading so that we don't trade blindly which dramatically increase our trading performance.
Finally the author's position sizing concepts is surely the secrets of the holy grail.
I can say this book is a very practical book to read and follow if you want to be a winner in the markets.

I constantly read about finance, and therefore, I am constantly disappointed by books that promise extensive lessons of practical knowledge but are really water-downed books with basics I learned a long time ago. Van Tharp in his book Super Trader does anything but this. He is probably the best on trading psychology that I've read, but he captures the crucial factors for success in other areas like analyzing performance, testing systems, and developing a plan for success. I love how he does not cosign people's BS - he tells it how it is. Also, I found this book a lot easier read than his Trader Your Way to Financial Freedom, and it has a lot more exercises one can do at home. However, for someone really new to trading, I would recommend they buy both books and start with Trade Your Way. No matter what though, one could not go wrong with Tharp.
Cheers,

Syllabus for trading excellence September 14, 2009

Definitely one of the best books on trading I have read in last couple of years. I doubt that you are going to make money reading this book, if you are not already making it. However, if you are already making money, chances are you can improve a lot. It covers all the components of trading excellence. In order to implement everything in the book, you would probably end up buying Tharp's other products. This book can be seen as a marketing tool for a lot of other IITM products. It is a win-win situation though, as the information in the book is easily worth the money. I would have easily paid $50 for this book without any complain.

Supertrader is a book everybody who trades, invests or plans to do so should read.
Covers an extensive list of issues each successful trader has to master: Psychology and self work, traders business plan, systems development and position sizing. It won't give you setups and entries, but those make up probably only 10% of the success of a trader.
It is well written, easy and fast to read but once you've finished you have an enormous work list to improve your trading business.

Agressive, empowering lessons for traders old and new August 30, 2009

Van Tharp is a phenomenal traders coach. In Supertrader we are exposed to Vans deep insight into the essential components of a wizard trader. Van exhorts the principles of discipline, commitment, drive, responsibility and the realization that the search for the holy trading grail begins with the trader.
I recommend you read this book once, twice and then once again. Van has a habit of being succinct to a fault, plus this is a workbook, to get the best from it, you'll have to apply yourself.
Analysis entertains, application rewards. Buy this book, apply your new learnings and go for it.
