Van Tharp: Transforming Traders Through Their Beliefs
Show notes: www.desiretotrade.com/van-tharp/
In episode 57 of the Desire To Trade Podcast, I interview Dr. Van Tharp, a very well-known leader of the trading industry.
From the start, Dr. Van Tharp has, very similar to me, a desire to have an impact. That is something I admire a lot.
During the interview, Dr. Van Tharp asked me about my own beliefs and we went through the "belief examiner" process, which has been very interesting for me. This has been a key elements for traders' transformations.
Trading mistakes are an important part of this interview. Dr. Tharp says traders should aim for 100 trades with a 95% compliance to their rules.
