There are a lot of Van Tharp threads, so since I did not know where to put this, I thought I'd create a new one (mods: feel free to move it)

I just learned that Market Wizard Dr. Van Tharp passed away yesterday.

Van's works were a big influence on my early trading, and I'm glad I was able to learn from him.

He will be missed.

Rest In Peace, Van.

Really as title? I haven't seen this news, he is famous here and I had learned much from his book, sad to hear that.

Probably one of the only global personalities in the trading world who had a good reputation.

Me also - saddened to hear this.

His original book was among the things that prompted me to realise that trading is logical and rational, and something I could learn.

RIP.

R.I.P. Van

His books gave me as well hours of delight and a lot of motivation!

Thanks for sharing @kevinkdog. I learned about this Friday and was saddened. Like you and countless others, we have all learned a lot from Van Tharp.

Here is a nice tribute from the Van Tharp Institute:

Van Turns to Light

RIP Van Tharp.
