Trading Articles for Dr. Van Tharp


I am sure you heard of Dr. Van Tharp - he was profiled in Jack Schwager's famous book Market Wizards.

Dr. Tharp has helped my trading a whole lot.

I recently wrote a three part article on exactly how Dr. Tharp has helped me.  You can read about it by signing up for his weekly newsletter, and you can read Part 1 below.

Part 1 of article (halfway down the page):

    Good article Kevin. Looking forward to the next one. If you don't mind sharing, what kind of trader did the test indicate you are?

    Thanks!

    The Tharp test gives you your Briggs personality type, and then scores in different areas:
    Psychological Characteristics
    Decision Making Skills
    Management and Discipline
    Composite Score
    Overall Ranking

    In mid 2006, Van's test said I was just an "average" trader. THAT was a big eye opener for me. In part 2 or 3, I show what my current ranking is.

    Kevin,

    When I follow the link above it asks me to login to iContact. Must I be an iContact subscriber to get the article?

    Thanks

    I would recommend typing the address in manually. I clicked the link, and get the IContact thing too. Then I manually typed it in and achieved success.

    If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll post it.
