Praise for Trading Beyond the Matrix
"Trading Beyond the Matrix provides all the elements of what is required to transform yourself into a great trader. Dr. Tharp not only provides all the necessary material but shares the experiences of others that have had success implementing his methods. Through Tharp Think, and the four levels of transformation, one can reach new heights of success in Trading and in life. Let the journey begin."
― Kirk Cooper, CFA, MTP, former Senior Vice President Quantitative Trading, Fiera Quantum
"For the better part of two decades, I set myself to the task of beating the markets by attempting to master valuation, price charts, and economics but was rewarded with little success. Dr. Tharp was the only person to introduce me to the idea that my real edge was in mastering myself and through that mastery I have realized very real success. Trading Beyond the Matrix lays out the process for learning to master yourself and achieving your goals."
― Nathan Rowader, Senior Portfolio Manager at Forward Management

"Transitioning to the mental side of trading seemed easy for me. For many, that is not the case, and here's where trading Beyond the Matrix excels. The reader can relate to the stories about actual successful traders who have overcome their own biases, beliefs, and surroundings that held them back from success and how each trader has to figure that out and deal with it before becoming successful."
