I was in Van Tharp’s Super Trader program and was able to take Gabriel’s FX /Futures course as part of it. He’s a ST graduate and his systems are well designed / met Van’s criteria for graduation. He’s an excellent trader and I enjoyed his course. I think he would agree that there are 2 things that are important to understand: 1) how well his systems fit your personality and 2) how hard you are willing to work.

Van Tharp's company is shutting down. Be careful if you order anything from them now, as support might not be as good as you hope. Years ago, I bought some of their home study courses, and found them useful - in large part due to the support provided for my questions.

VTI would never sell you something that they would not honor. Everyone that knew Van and his staff will tell you that. Regardless, Gabriel has his own site where you can book his courses.

Right, they are honoring purchases was my point, i.e. if you purchase a course, you will get the course. They are closing the business, hence no refunds.

Van helped me understand how to grade my trades early on. Sorry to hear he's shutting down. Was a reason given?

It is VERY sad. Here is the e-mail they sent out: Sorry for any formatting issues, I am pasting the e-mail verbatim.



The Van Tharp Institute Announces
Company Closure on
December 15, 2023


Our founder and leader, Dr. Van Tharp turned to light 18 months ago.

Since his passing, we have been fortunate to carry on Van’s mission of “Transformation through the trading metaphor” with the strong support of our clients, partners, coaches, and staff.

•During the past 18 months, our leadership team has discussed a variety of possible VTI scenarios. This decision to close has been very challenging.


•Updating the current curriculum and creating new content at the Van Tharp Institute feels inauthentic without Van.


•We will preserve Van’s body of work through his original books, writings, and his home study course to ensure that we retain Van’s original “voice” as he created them.


•From a holistic viewpoint, we believe that this path best supports Van’s legacy, the Tharp family, and the VTI team.

After reaching this difficult decision, we are present to three values . . .

Gratitude • Reflection • Caring Presence

Our hearts are filled with Gratitude for each one of you!

We never tire of hearing your stories of success and transformation. Carrying on Van’s work thus far has been deeply rewarding and we are grateful for your continual feedback about the impact of our products and services.


This has been a time of thoughtful Reflection for our team

What is the best future for VTI?

What are the different paths to evolve the content and the business?

What best preserves Van’s legacy?

What best supports the growth of Kala Tharp, the VTI team, and our traders?


With a Caring Presence for our clients and partners . . .

We realize this announcement raises questions and we will address the most likely ones now.

We have scheduled ample time after this announcement for follow-up communications and customer service/support.

Q&A

Questions and Answers

Does VTI have financial problems?

Short-term financial troubles were not the motivation for the closure decision. We decided to close the Van Tharp Institute because we believe it best honors Van’s work and is the best path for our immediate and extended teams.


Can I buy VTI or Van’s intellectual property?


The company is not for sale.

Van’s intellectual property is unavailable for sale or license. Van protected his work with copyrights and trademarks.


Is someone buying the VTI email list and will they start spamming me?


No. The Van Tharp Institute’s longtime commitment to our customers remains unchanged - we will not sell or license our email address database to anyone.

Protecting the privacy of our clients has always been important to Van. Our database remains private and is not for sale.


Will you send the Tharp Thoughts newsletter anymore?


In September, we will continue to send the newsletter weekly.

In October, we will send updates about VTI, however, the frequency may decrease to less than weekly.

VTI will send no further newsletters or communications after October 31, 2023.

Customers will have the opportunity to subscribe to our partners’ communications. Look for more details about this in coming issues.


Who else knows Tharp Think and provides useful trading education?


Our current partners and coaches have all trained under Van. Each of them provide valuable resources and vibrant communities.

In the coming weeks, we will offer all customers an opportunity to opt-in to communities managed by instructors who have been teaching VTI workshops in recent years.


Can I still purchase VTI products?


Yes – until October 31, 2023

Schedule

What will happen to the VTI Team?

Marketing and Operations Team

Cathy Hasty, Revathi Ramaswami, and Sarah Koch will transition out of VTI by December 2023.


They are exceptional, dedicated professionals and they are looking ahead to their next adventure.

Our Partners

DR Barton, Dr. Ken Long, Libby Adams, Gabriel Grammatidis, Chuck Whitman, and Bill Scheidt/Jeff Boccaccio will continue their work to help traders.


They are excellent resources and all of them incorporate Tharp Think in their approaches.


We will reach out to you over the coming weeks to provide opportunities for you to connect with these partners.


Our Strategic Advisors and Super Trader Coaches

RJ Hixson and Kimm Hershberger (our strategic advisors), as well as Bruce Walicek, Gracia Rosslow, and Edwin Mercado (our Super Trader coaches) have been supporting VTI as part-time members of our extended team.


They will help Super Traders progress through their current phases, while they continue supporting various trading communities and working in their own professional pursuits.


Kala Tharp

Our beloved Kala Tharp is well and has decided to retire.

She will enjoy well-deserved time painting, traveling, and visiting family and friends.

Schedule

As Van Would Say...

Notice Your Thoughts & Feelings

This is a phrase Van repeated during workshops and in particular with the Super Trader students. We have to wonder if Van might be saying that right now.

As this chapter of the Van Tharp Institute comes to completion, Van’s inspired thinking is helping numerous other chapters begin in myriad new directions.


Van’s energy lives on in your hearts and minds. Be sure to share with others your story and the lessons you learned from Dr. Van K. Tharp. You will enrich their lives.


Our hearts are full of gratitude to have travelled with so many wonderful people from across the globe on your transformational journeys. Thank you.


If you haven't done so already please visit Van's Memorial page. You will see photos of Van, read the many heart felt comments and have the opportunity to add your own comments.

Agreed, I was referring to questions you might have AFTER the class/course. That support might not be the same as business winds down.
