Published for the First Time

I am proud to say that I will be published for the first time next week in a magazine titled:
The Trader’s Journal

“Asia Pacific’s Pre-eminent Trading Magazine is a product of DPR International Pte Ltd based in Singapore and distributed to Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Australia. Our primary focus is to research and educate you. It can be easily argued that it is the educated trader that will survive in the markets and we want to be a large part of your education.

The publisher, Dickson Yap, has a long history in the industry. Prior to launching the Trader’s Journal magazine, he worked in the Dow Jones Singapore office doing advertising and circulation. His businesses serve thousands of customers around the world in every time zone.”

Some very prominent authors, traders and educators have contributed and still contribute to the magazine so I am honored that they published my article. Here are some of the names you may be familiar with:

Over the years Tharp has helped people overcome problems in areas of system development and trading psychology, and success related issues such as self-sabotage. http://www.iitm.com/
