    Description of Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom

    Deascription of first edition:

    In 'Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom,' world-renowned traders coach Dr. Van Tharp explains that the Holy Grail is NOT a mysterious trading system that delivers incredible trading profits with little or no risk. Just as there is not a single 'best' way to play golf, there are no universal strategies that will work for all traders.

    Instead, Dr. Tharp's research shows that the secret is different for each trader, and can be uncovered quickly and plugged into every trading program with surprisingly little effort. In this performance-directed book, Dr. Tharp shows how the interplay of an investor's style, goals, and personality - in combination with a carefully designed and tested system - ultimately determines true success.

    As a result, 'Trade You Way to Financial Freedom,' is filled with the kind of information that will help virtually all traders and investors substantially increase their income. Dr. Tharp covers it all.

    The psychological biases against good system development
    Ingenious concepts of orderliness that help you accurately predict turning points in the market - and work them to your advantage.
    Expectancy and position sizing - the most important, yet least understood, aspects of profitable trading
    Stock and futures trading models - from Warren Buffett to Perry Kaufman - that examine setups used by the masters
    Positions sizing variables, and how to use them consistently carve out the optimal profits.
    A free website to let you practice your new trading skills without risk, develop plans, and even compete against other traders!

    Reviews

    'While I can't promise you financial freedom, I can promise you a book filled with sound trading advice and lots of ideas you can use to develop your OWN trading methodology. And, if you don't think that's enough, then you really need this book.'
    Jack Schwager, author of 'Market Wizards' and 'The New Market Wizards.'

    'Van's book gets directly to the heart of what it takes to be a successful trader. It's the best book I've read on trading successfully; not fluff or hype like so many others.'
    Tom Basso, President
    Trendstat Capital Management, Inc.

    'Van Tharp cuts right to the essence of professional trading: how to develop winning attitudes and approaches; how to forget trading for accuracy and trade for expectancy; how to master position sizing. If you intend to trade, you'd better know what's in this book.'
