Three critical secrets you can adopt to develop a
superb wealth-building formula.
If you concentrate on these three secrets -- which
95% of all traders and investors totally ignore — then you can vault yourself into a class that only a few have been able to
achieve.
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.
Jack Schwager, after
writing two Market Wizard books, concluded that the most important
characteristic of the top traders and investors he interviewed was that they had
adopted a trading system to fit them. But to develop a system that fits you,
you need to really think about what you want. There are at least 30 questions you need to address when you develop a
trading system. It’s not a trivial task.
What
is an objective?
Your
objective is your goal, your target. It is the things that you want your system
to accomplish.
Objectives
set the roadmap for the entire system development process. How would one know
how to get someplace if they didn’t know where they were going first? It is
easy enough to see that if one trader had an objective such as “I want a
system that trades long-term stocks, that requires my attention only once each
week and makes 20% per year” compared to a trader’s objectives of “I want
to actively trade my mother’s retirement account for four hours each day,
without holding overnight positions” – two completely different systems
would be required. The objectives or goals are very different. There are endless
configurations of objectives. The point is, you need to specifically know what
it is that you are trying to attain and only then can you develop a trading
system that will help you attain it.
"I
have to tell you how thrilled and excited I am about the
systems course I was recently certified in.
I believe that course was designed especially for me, I got so
much out of it. You did a
great job presenting the course material.
You were fabulous, amazing, energetic and your enthusiasm was
contagious! I also
appreciate your personal availability between the scheduled meetings.
It was an extra bonus to have some one on one conversations
specifically about my trading system, testing methodology and personal
coaching on how to overcome our problems with actually trading our
system.
"
Of course, I must give some credit to my fellow attendees.
They were great, and played all out, further enhancing the
value of the course. But
without your expert facilitation to encourage more participation it
would not have occurred in the way that it did.
"Since
I left North Carolina, I have had an opportunity to spend a week with
my client to re-create what I learned in the course.
We got down and listed our core beliefs, our objectives, and
looked long and hard at our biases.
From this information we designed an entry, exit and simple
position sizing strategy that fit our objectives.
Actually, we have a working system and it turns out that just a
little modification to that existing system is what we really want to
meet our objectives. Now
I'm all excited, I can hardly sleep, because Chuck handed me the tools
and methodology I needed to effectively verify and back test this new
system. I just need to type faster to keep up with my enthusiasm."
— B. Cupps
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.
If you’re more adventurous, we’ll show you how to go for really big
returns using the market’s money. When you use these super moneymaking
techniques, you could make 1,000% on your money each year, risking only the
money that the market has given you.
You’ll learn exactly how one trader turned $10,000 into $1.1 million in
less than a year. In addition, we’ll also show you how a group of traders have
taken over $100 million out of the market over the last 10 years! Learn the
advantages and disadvantages of both these styles.

Six more reasons why you’ll want to attend this
course:
- 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.
- You’ll be introduced to the psychological pitfalls that hold
back so many people. Just knowing about them will help you avoid them.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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."

Dr. Tharp discovered certain little-known secrets about
doing research that you need to know if you want to develop an effective system
that’s right for you!
Dr. Van K. Tharp is a trader, author, modeler of peak performance results,
and most importantly, a peak performance coach willing to help you make more
money and lead a more effective life. He’s collected psychological profiles
from over 4,000 traders and investors. He’s personally interviewed hundreds of
top people in the field to determine what makes them excel and how they make
immense profits.
In 1988, Jack Schwager interviewed 16 of the world’s best traders and
investors for his best-selling financial book, Market Wizards. Dr. Tharp
was also interviewed as a peak performance coach in that book.
Dr. Tharp has been studying top traders and investors for over
20 years. In
his research, he’s learned how the best traders and investors achieve peak
performance. All of these traders and investors developed a sound methodology —
and one key portion of their success came from doing the right sort of research.
To duplicate their success, you must focus on the essential elements of
system design while meeting your objectives.
