John Piper has been trading markets since the mid 80s, mainly writing options but also trading futures, spread and binary betting. The highlights have been trading right through the '87 Crash (mainly selling put options - hence the lack of hair!), annual turnover exceeding £2m of option premiums on his personal account, managing money in excess of $1m, winning a TV trading contest, and generally spending far too much time glued to screens.
Whilst abusing himself in this way he also decided to help other traders and started The Technical Trader in 1989 and which has become the leading trading newsletter in the UK. The newsletter filled a void and the business has helped many traders over the years and is now on the web.
Over the years John has developed a number of trading techniques; he summarizes his approach as Psycho-Trading - meaning getting into the mind of the market.
John spends his time in the Sussex Hills but makes frequent trips to warmer climes with the Hash House Harriers - a club for those who like a drink but who have a running problem!
John runs a market service looking for the BIG calls and has written several books including The Way to Trade, The Fortune Strategy, Profit Before Work, Binary Betting, Binary Trading, Tunnel Trading, Trading is a business and The KrautGap Modules.
