Highlights

Dr. Van Tharp's Peak Performance course for Traders is designed to improve trading skills through self-knowledge.

The course includes four CDs and five workbooks, with exercises to supplement the material.

Despite being recorded in the 1990s, the principles and theories taught are timeless and still applicable today.

Each CD has a specific purpose, with the first focusing on understanding one's thinking process and capabilities.

The course emphasizes that traders create their own trading problems and can solve them by changing their thinking.

The five sensory systems are crucial for understanding how one's brain codes information and influences internal experiences.

Internal experiences are coded in terms of visual images, internal sounds or voices, and internal feelings.

The exercise with internal sounds demonstrates how self-talk can influence one's motivation and behavior.

Visual imagery exercises can help understand how one thinks in terms of pictures and how these images can be manipulated to change one's perspective.

Internal feelings can be a powerful way for some individuals to understand and control their thoughts.

The course introduces the concept of 'parts' of the self, which represent different roles and aspects of one's personality.

A specific 'part' of the self is identified to understand and address trading problems by communicating with the unconscious mind.

The hypnotic exercise is designed to help listeners understand more about how they create their own problems and to gain control over their thinking process.

The course encourages the development of mental skills by understanding and utilizing the qualities needed to produce trading problems.

By recognizing and utilizing these 'parts,' one can gain insights into the process of thinking and potentially change their trading outcomes.

The course concludes with a hypnotic journey to reinforce the learning and to prepare the listener for future success in trading.

Transcripts

thank thank you for purchasing Dr van

tharp's Peak Performance course for

Traders and invest hope that you are

learning a lot about yourself and about

how self- knowledge can improve your

trading the four CDs in this course

contain exercises designed to supplement

the material in the five workbooks this

material was originally recorded in the

1990s and while some of the references

may seem dated the principles and

theories that Dr thp teaches are

Timeless and still very useful today

each CD has a specific purpose in the

first portion of this CD how do you

think Dr Tharp helps you understand how

to think and gives you the opportunity

to evaluate your capabilities in each

type of thinking the second portion of

the recording includes a meditative

exercise to help you understand how you

create your own problems creating and

thinking about your problem problems is

a common habit for many people listen to

this CD regularly follow the suggestions

provided and you'll begin to better

understand your internal parts and the

messages they give you do not listen to

this CD while driving a car or operating

any kind of Machinery or if you need to

pay attention to other tasks listen to

it only when you can sit comfortably by

yourself and close your eyes if you meet

those conditions now please

proceed

hello I'm Dr Van Tharp on this first

tape I'm going to teach you how you

think which is fundamental to

understanding how you can learn to

develop the mental skills of the world's

greatest

Traders the bottom line is that Traders

and Traders alone produce their profits

or losses you create your own trading

problems and you need only understand

how you do that and then change what you

do to solve them

in most cases even a minor change in

your thinking will produce a major

change in your

profits on this tape I will help you

gain a better understanding of how you

create your trading Problems by the way

you

think many people in fact have remarked

to me that they were never exposed to

any of this material in college or even

in graduate psychology

courses yet it is only after mastering

this material that they begin to realize

just how they do

think if you want to control your

behavior you must understand how you run

your own

brain what you experience in this life

depends upon how your brain codes

information which may be quite different

than the information

itself as a result what you think about

the market is probably quite different

from the market

itself in addition the way you think is

different from the way any one else

thinks you are

unique nevertheless there are certain

common elements to the way people think

and it is those common elements that are

the topic of this

tape your five sensory systems seeing

hearing feeling smelling and tasting

constitute your primary contact with

physical reality all of your input from

the world comes through those

senses since those five senses

constitute the only information your

brain has your internal experience is

also coded in terms of those five

modalities your brain literally

represents or

represents information to you in terms

of visual images internal sounds or

voices and internal

feelings in addition you probably also

have some internal smells and taste but

not a lot since those answer in

modalities are not emphasized in the

American culture overseas listeners

probably have a better appreciation for

these other ways of

thinking for example the information you

are currently receiving through this

tape is auditory you are hearing the

sound of my voice and at the same time

you may be talking to yourself about

what I am

saying are you telling yourself

something

now or translating what I am saying into

pictures are you seeing pictures inside

your head

now or translating what I am saying into

feelings do you have a feel for what I'm

talking

about all of your experience is coded

into these major modalities hearing

seeing and

feeling in addition as you will learn

later in this tape the specific

qualities of those

experiences that is the submodalities

are also

important let's explore how you think by

going over these sensory experiences in

some

detail first let's look at internal

sounds I'd like you to repeat after me

the phrase I can be the world's greatest

traitor just say it to yourself go ahead

and say

it did you believe

it now say it again but this time say it

very slowly and softly I can be the

world's greatest

traitor how did that affect you did you

believe

it did saying it in that way get you

charged

up chances are that it didn't in fact

research has shown that you can easily

put yourself to sleep by talking to

yourself very slowly in that same

manner now say it again to yourself only

this time say it slowly but

loudly I can be the world's greatest

traitor how was that different from

before did it affect you

differently now say it again three times

but this time say it to yourself fast

and Loud getting faster and louder each

time you say it I'm not going to say it

to you just go ahead and do it to

yourself inside your

head what was that experience like for

you were you charged up

motivated chances are you may have been

because people frequently motivate

themselves through selft talk but it is

the way you say it that is

important now let's try try something a

little bit more

challenging think about Mickey Mouse and

Donald Duck having a conversation and

notice the qualities of the two voices

inside your

head first hear Mickey Mouse say sell

100 shares of

IBM actually hear Mickey's voice saying

that then hear Donald Duck respond no

buy five soybean contracts you'll make a

lot of money hear that inside your head

in Donald Duck's

voice how loud is Mickey's

voice Donald's

voice how clear is each

voice which one is clearer and more

understandable what's the pitch of each

voice is it high or is it

low is Mickey talking fast or

slow who's faster Mickey or

Donald where do you hear the voices are

they inside your head or do they sound

like they're coming from an external

Source if they are inside your head

where do they sound like they're coming

from the right or the left or the center

or if they are outside your head where

does it sound like they're coming from

from the right or left or

Center how do you know that one voice is

Mickey Mouse and that the other voice is

Donald

Duck and most importantly how believable

are the

voices are you willing to buy five

soybean contracts if you tell yourself

to do so in Donald Duck's

voice it's interesting what saying

something in the voice of a cartoon

character will do for you isn't

it already you may have learned a lot

about how your selft talk influences you

if those exercises had little impact

upon you then vision and feeling are

probably more important to how you

think however if the selft talk did not

have that great an impact upon you

consciously then your subconscious mind

may use that modality

extensively if so then your selft talk

May significantly influence your

behavior you just aren't aware of how it

does

it now let's try an exercise with

internal imagery or

pictures remember what the first car you

owned look

like what color was

it did it have any

dents can you see and read the license

plate number

if so what was

it unless you just drew a blank which is

still using visual imagery but in an

unresourceful way you just showed

yourself a clear example of how you

think in terms of

pictures to respond to those questions

about your first car you must have seen

a picture of

it look at that picture of your car

again where do you see it

straight in front of

you up and to the

left up and to the

right some other

place how far away is

it how big is

it is the picture in

3D does it have a frame around

it or is it a panoramic

picture

how big is the car with respect to the

picture you

see now do you see how you think in

pictures I always find it amazing when a

television announcer is interviewing

someone and ask questions like can you

shed some light on what is happening in

that

situation can you help me clarify the

big picture of what is happening he's

not just saying words like light and

clarify and picture he is actually

thinking in terms of pictures and he

wants to see them more clearly he

believes that when his internal pictures

are clear then other people's pictures

will also be

clearer let's try another example with

pictures remember the last trading

mistake you made and get a full visual

image of that

mistake take your time and make that

image as detailed as

possible now let's play with that image

a little

bit are you seeing yourself in the

picture or are you seeing a scene as if

you were

there for example you might just be

seeing your

hands if you see only your

hands change the picture so you see

yourself in

it how does that change it

now let's try a few more

changes go back to the original

picture and let's get closer to your

problem so bring the picture in

closer what does that do to

it now let's put some distance between

you and your

problem so move the picture far

away what does that do to your

problem again go back to your original

picture shed some light on that problem

by making it a lot

brighter what does that do to

it now let's look on the dark side make

your picture really

dim what does that do to

it go back to the original

picture and let's blow your problem out

of proportion take the central item in

your picture

and just make that part of it much

bigger really blow it out of

proportion what

happens now let's get a new perspective

on

it take that same

picture and move it up high and over to

your

right also make it

smaller what does that do

now put your problem behind you that's

it just take your problem or the picture

of it and shove it behind you so that

you can't see it what happens

now one last exercise

here take the picture of your problem

and bring it back

and now start to spin the problem in

front of

you make your picture spin

faster even faster much faster and as it

continues to accelerate spinning faster

and faster watch it begin to

disintegrate watch the pieces fly off

into

space as it spins faster and faster

notice that it disintegrates more and

more until finally it's

gone and notice now that no matter what

you do it is

gone what was that experience like for

you can you get your picture back or is

it really

gone once again for some of you the

exercise with visual images

may have been a much more powerful

experience than for

others if you think in images then you

probably notice some significant

changes on the other hand if these were

not meaningful for you then perhaps your

visual images are mostly

unconscious now let's try and exercise

with internal

feelings there are two types of feeling

responses feelings that have to do with

thinking

in global

feelings you can easily distinguish the

two because Global feelings tend to be

centered along your midline in the

center of your stomach or chest or

head for example when you get a feeling

that a trait is just right it probably

is centered along your

midline now let's explore the feeling

form of

thinking remember what the seats felt

like in your first

car actually feel the material what's it

like now pretend that your seats are

made out of

sandpaper what's it like to feel

that how about sheep

skin or

leather now pretend that your car seats

are ice

cold notice how cold they feel when you

touch

them now remember a time when the sun

had been shining on your seats for

several hours a very hot

sun and notice what it feels like to

barely touch

them hot

right once again perhaps the feeling

exercise were easy for you or perhaps

they were hard either way those

exercises give you a lot of information

about how you run your

brain think about it how do you run your

brain what have you learned about how

you control your thoughts what was

easier for you seeing hearing or

feeling what manipulations were easiest

for you what have you learned about

yourself next time you listen to this

tape notice that the manipulations will

be even easier for you and that you can

develop more

control control really amounts to having

choices because in any biological or

mechanical system the part in control is

the part with the most

choices for example think about the

queen on a

chessboard

why is the queen in

control because she has more choices as

to where she can

move and if you block some of those

choices by surrounding her with her own

men she loses

control you have a

tremendous amount of choices available

to you in the way you

think exercising those choices will give

you

control but if you block those

choices then you'll be like the queen

surrounded by her

men she has tremendous potential

but the other side of this tape is a

hypnotic exercise to help you understand

even more about how you run your brain

to create specific problems or make

things easy for

yourself because this is a hypnotic

exercise

listen to it only when you can

comfortably relax and close your

eyes the hypnotic exercise is designed

to help you better understand how you

create your own

problems this is a hypnotic exercise so

do not listen to it while driving a car

or operating dangerous Machinery use

this only when you can sit comfortably

by yourself and close your eyes

if you meet those conditions

now then find a comfortable position

sitting in a chair or lying

down be sure that your clothing is

comfortable loosen or remove anything

that might interfere with your

comfort now just

relax uncross your arms or legs if

[Music]

necessary and just

relax take a deep

breath and slowly let all of the air

out and as you

do breathe out anything that might keep

you from

relaxing

totally

good now take another deep

breath and

again let it

out

relaxing even

more

look around the

room and notice what is directly in

front of

you you might focus on an

object a

wall or perhaps a spot on the wall or

the

ceiling what shape is

it

how big is

it is it bigger than you

are what color is

it is it a warm

color or a cool

color what does it feel like

to

you what is the texture

like is it

rough or

smooth is it as comfortable as you

are is it soft or is it

loud and as you wonder what kind of

sound it

makes or what kind of sound it would

make if it could make a

sound

notice is it

soothing or

not

is there something

notable about the

sound or

not how would

you describe

it as you think

about or at least as part of you thinks

about the sounds and

sights and

feelings notice how useful it is to

think of

ourselves as being

made of

Parts you have body

parts like your arms and

hands and

feet you also have parts of your your

mind such as the roles you play in

life for example at some time in your

life you were probably a

student later in

life you became a bread

winner perhaps you've also

had or still have

or plan to

have the roles of

spouse or

parent those roles might be considered

Parts you play in

life and they also constitute parts of

your

mind

breathe

deeply concentrating on relaxing

totally as you realize that part of

you is also aware of how you

think you do

think so isn't it

natural that part of you should be aware

of

how of

course

today you need to find a part of you

that is willing to accept the

role of understanding

how you produce your trading

problems this may be an ex existing

part that already

knows or it may be a part that you just

invent

now notice the signal that you may be

getting from this

part even

now

become aware of your

body and notice anything

unusual that is going

on perhaps there's a

voice perhaps you're

seeing something different in your

mind or

perhaps you're

experiencing some unusual

feeling this may be a

signal from a part of

you that it is willing to teach

you if you've already

gained new

insights

about how you

think and the part

responsible for helping you gain this

Insight is ideal for this

role if you're getting such a

signal ask the

part that's it's producing

it to intensify the

signal if it means

yes or if it's actually saying

yes then

fine whether you have a part that is

willing to take

over this

function or whether you're going

to create this part

now you need to

know the

qualities that this part will

need to perform its

function as you breathe

deeply relax

fully and think about closing your

eyes or perhaps they are already

closed and as you

notice how comfortable it

feels to close your

eyes listen for any outside

noises and know that these

noises if they are

present just a signal for you to

relax even

more and as you do

so think about the

qualities that you

need to become

aware of how you

create your trading

problems for

example this part needs to

communicate with your unconscious

mind the part of you that is not aware

at any given

moment it needs to be able to

communicate with

you in a

manner you can

understand perhaps by waking up from a

dream as it communicates with your

unconscious

or

perhaps by sending you a clear

signal whenever it

senses some useful

information and as you

relax even

more

realize that this part needs to be

[Music]

concerned with the process of

thinking not the

content it needs to learn how you

process

information and in

knowing how you process

information

this part also needs to be

aware of all sensory

modalities in how you

think in each of

them now

relax even

more as some part of

you perhaps

an unconscious

part learns to take

on those essential

qualities

now or

perhaps that

part already

knows those

qualities concentrate on your

face and your

neck and make

sure all those muscles are

relaxed make sure your forehead is

relaxed

good and now relax your

mouth and joy

good

notice there are any remaining

Sensations in your

body that might be a

signal from your new

part that is now completely

ready to take on the

function that you have just assigned

it

good think about having a video

camera for your

thinking it has to be a special

camera cuz it must record

pictures and sounds and

feelings and as you think about using

such a

camera think about the wonderful

things that could be

done editing clips of your

thinking for

example

remember the last time you had trouble

in the

market and think about having a record

of your

thinking for several

minutes up to the

point that you produced your

problem you

could study that record and know exact

exactly how you

think and as you think about

that concentrate on your right

arm and make sure that it is

relaxed now relax your left

arm making sure that all the muscles

are

relaxed and

easy

good notice how

pleasant the relaxation

feels and as you do

so think about another

time when you

produced the same same

type of trading

problem think what it would be like to

have a

recording of your

thinking that produced that

problem again you

could study that

record

comparing it with the

other and

understand

exactly how you produce that

problem wouldn't it be

wonderful to have such a

recording and as you think about the

possibilities

relax your

shoulders and your

neck be sure they are totally

comfortable and feel just as if you are

lying on

air that's

right while you enjoy that

feeling remember a third

time when you produce the same sort of

problem and

again think how wonderful it would

be to have a record of your

thinking know exactly how you produce

that problem

wouldn't it be

fantastic to be able to compare all

three

records

and understand the common

elements having done that you have a

total

understanding of how you you do

it and as you think about the impact of

this

information Focus your attention on your

chest notice how

relaxed and easy your breathing

is the

air almost seems

to help your

chest

breathe and as you

concentrate on your chest

area let all your

muscles totally

relax knowing that part of

you is now ready to do its job

and

perhaps it already has those clips of
