2 Dr. Van K. Tharp Dr. Van K. Tharp has been a peak performance coach for investors and traders since 1982, and is the lone trading coach featured by Jack Schwager in his bestseller The Market Wizards: Interviews with Great Traders. He is the founder of Investment Psychology, Van K Tharp Associates and the International Institute of Trading Mastery. Over the last 12 years, Dr. Van K. Tharp has collected profiles on more than 5,000 investors and traders, consolidating over decade of research to determine how the most successful investors and traders get their results. Much of his research can be found in his book, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom. Dr. Van K. Tharp received his Ph.D. in Psychology in 1975, and is an expert in the use of NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) for creating trading models. Dr. Tharp is the most consistent, astute, and systematic researcher of human behavior that you ll probably ever meet. He has personally interviewed thousands of top traders to determine what makes them excel in their profession and collected psychological profiles from over 5,000 traders and investors. He is a pioneer in the profession that today is commonly known as a trading coach. There are other trading coaches now, but when Dr. Tharp conceptualized this process over 18 years ago, he was one of the first people to ever do so. Attending this course means that you are learning from the best. He carefully crafted all of the information from his studies into a model that people like you can adopt to improve your own skills. In fact, when Jack Schwager, interviewed 16 of the world s best traders in his original Market Wizards book, he also elected to interview Dr. Tharp as a Peak Performance Trading Coach. Now, you can join the thousands of fortunate traders and investors over the last five years who have already learned the secrets of Dr. Tharp s carefully researched model for successful trading through this course. You will learn for yourself the incredible difference that adopting this model can make for yourself both in terms of trading profits and in improving your life. That s the amazing thing about Dr. Tharp s model not only will you improve your profits, but you re likely to become more successful in all aspects of your life. Dr. Tharp was an innovator when he began his studies of traders and the trading process, and he is still an innovator today, constantly improving upon what he teaches and how he teaches. If you have a fairly successful system for trading or investing, then I can show you how to obtain more consistent performance with less risk out of that system in short, I ll show you what peak performance trading is all about!

3 Peak Performance 101 Trading Workshop 1, 2 & 3 March 2008, 9.00 to 5.00pm Saturday, Sunday, Monday You ll leave this investment Boot Camp knowing, for the first time in your life, why some people consistently make profits over and over again, while other investors and traders are erratic and unsuccessful. More importantly, you ll be able to overcome self-sabotage and develop rock-solid discipline in your performance in the markets. What Can I Expect to Learn? There are seven money-making benefits awaiting you. They ll help you make more consistent profits, keep your losses smaller, and help you be more relaxed about your trading. 1. Learn the three ingredients of success. You must know this information, at least unconsciously, if you are to prosper. These three mental ingredients are a must in any task you do in order to perform like a Market Wizard. Most people don t even know about them, which is why success is so difficult to duplicate. But after the Peak Performance Trading Course, you ll thoroughly understand how these three key ingredients can control your life. Most of all, you ll know how you can control them. 2. Understand the components of a low-risk idea. The trick to compounding your personal wealth is to trade low-risk ideas. Low-risk ideas are found everywhere not just in conservative investments. In fact, a great deal of wealth is made from following low-risk ideas in highly speculative arenas such as options and futures. But you must understand what makes up a low-risk idea. It s not what you think. 3. Understanding why position sizing is so critical to your bottom line results! Few people understand this critical concept. Yet it means the difference between consistent top performance and average mediocre performance for most people. We ll teach you how to do position sizing based trading so if you want, you will have the same risk and exposure in the market day after day. Think how calm you could be, knowing that your risk is always the same. 4. Learn 15 ways to develop rock-solid discipline in your trading. Discipline really means controlling your mental state. Unfortunately, most people allow their mental state to control them. In contrast, real winners maintain discipline that allows them to charge ahead of others in the field. If you play in a zero-sum trading game, like futures, you need to know every trick. These are the real secrets that separate successful traders and investors from the average person. 5. Learn Dr. Tharp s Ten-Task model for successful trading and investing. Here is a partial list of the ten tasks in the model that we will help you master: developing lowrisk ideas, stalking, mental rehearsal, self-analysis, action, aborting, and best of all taking profits. At the Peak Performance Trading Course, Dr. Tharp will help you install his model so you can trade like other successful traders. You ll have tools at your disposal that the average investor or trader never even thought about. 6. Learn how to act quickly with sureness and confidence. One trait all the best traders and investors have in common is extreme confidence in what they re doing. Confidence is the one quality you must develop to attain your peak level of performance. At the Peak Performance Trading Course, you ll learn how to develop the kind of confidence only the best traders and investors have. Continued on the next page

You see, there are certain disciplines certain techniques used within a specific structure that give the professional trader and investor the edge over amateur investors. Dr. Tharp understands these disciplines. He is an expert at coaching others to use them. 8.Overcoming Self-Sabotage. The Peak Performance Trading Course not only helps you install Dr. Tharp s model, it also helps you overcome self-sabotage. You ll be able to free yourself from internal conflicts that keep you from performing at a peak level. Register now to Learn the secrets that will increase your performance in trading! Fabulous course. It will have a major positive impact on my trading success and will also require that I change some of the ways I do things. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their understanding of how their psychology to succeed. F.L., Sharpsburg, GA After spending three days with Van I came away with one belief that saved my career. Only low risk trades will keep you in the game! H.W., NY An absolute must for anyone wanting to become a consistently successful trader. Alex Rudolph For me this was a revisit to the course. As a trader you can never go wrong by repeating this course. Every trader should do this course. The fact that they don t gives me an edge in the market!

5 How To Develop A Winning Trading System That Fits You 7,8 & 9 March 2008 Friday, Saturday & Sunday, 9.00 to 5.00pm If you want consistency and you want to make profits from the market then you ll want to attend this three-day course. We ll show you little-known, closely guarded secrets that you re not likely to find unless you accidentally stumble upon them yourself. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of trading systems that work. But most people, after purchasing a preexisting system, will not follow the system and trade it exactly as it was intended. Why not? Because the system doesn t fit them or their style of trading. One of the biggest secrets of successful trading is finding a trading system that fits you. Six reasons why you ll want to attend this course: 1.You ll get specific ideas for making better market entry and exit decisions. You ll also get specific money management principles from experts in the industry. Your course notebook will contain lots of information you ll want to review over and over again. 2.You ll be introduced to the psychological pitfalls that hold back so many people. Just knowing about them will help you avoid them. 3.You ll learn new approaches to the markets and new techniques for analyzing them. There are many concepts behind most systems. Most of them, including some of the most popular, are meaningless. But you ll learn about the ones that work best. 4.You ll get practical trading ideas, talk with fellow traders to compare notes, exchange ideas, and make new friends who share your interests. This kind of networking alone can be worth thousands of dollars. Some great trading teams have developed through contacts made at these courses. 5.You ll learn the ten elements of a good trading system. In addition, you ll go through trading games that will teach you the relative importance of the various components and how to apply them to your situation. These market games really drive home the important points about system development. In addition, they re fun! 6.Depending upon your objectives, which you ll determine prior to the course, you ll be assigned to a group to successfully develop a trading system for the type of trading you want to do. You ll need to send these objectives back to Van prior to the course so he can assign you to an appropriate group. In this workshop you will learn about the 3 critical secrets you can adopt to develop a superb wealth-building formula. 1. You must concentrate on the most important task of system development. If you do it properly, it will take at least half of your time during the development process. When you learn what it is, you ll say, Of course, it s important, but you ll still probably spend very little time on it. That critical task is developing sound objectives.

6 2. A good trading system has 10 key components. Most people ignore six or seven of them when they do their research. In fact, you ll rarely see a book on systems development that covers more than six of them. That s the limitation the average trader has in doing research. You want big profits with as little risk as possible, so you want every advantage possible when you start to develop such a system. You should be able to take advantage of 8 of these components easily after the course. And, with a little more effort, you ll be able to use all 10. If you use all 10 with competence, you ll be among the top 0.1% of all traders and investors in the world. 3. Most people concentrate on the least important element in trading system design entry. They also ignore the most important element position sizing. At the How to Develop A Winning Trading System That Fits You workshop, you ll learn at least three types of position sizing systems that will help you lower your overall risk, while at the same time, helping you achieve more consistent performance. Hurry and register for this workshop to learn the secrets in developing a winning trading system that fits you! I believe it easily has the best (most valuable) content of any course I have done. Peter Deck, Australia The seminar helped me put things in perspective. I came away very satisfied. I have a new calm, yet resolve to improve my trading, and the confidence to know I can. J.A., Illinois This class really provided the mechanics and practical methods of how to create a workable system. G. Kapraun Refer to next page for Registration Form
