A Unique Opportunity to Transform Your Trading Results.

Most traders face a frustrating reality: despite finding consistent winning trades, their account growth remains below expectations.

Why don’t winning trades generate the returns they should, while losses have an outsized impact on the portfolio?

The root cause typically isn’t trade selection or timing—it’s an inadequate position-sizing strategy.

We are honored to present RJ Hixson, former Vice President of Research and Development at the Van Tharp Institute, to teach this transformative course on position sizing. With over a decade of experience working directly with Dr. Van Tharp and helping develop the definitive work on position sizing strategies, RJ brings unprecedented expertise in translating complex risk management concepts into practical trading success.

This rare opportunity allows you to learn directly from a master educator who has guided countless traders through the renowned Super Trader program and played a pivotal role in developing the position sizing strategy curriculum that traders worldwide rely on today.
