John Piper

Editor

John has been trading markets since the mid 80s, mainly writing options but also trading futures. The highlights have been trading right through the '87 Crash (hence lack of hair!), turnover exceeding £2m pa of option premiums on his personal account, managing 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 back in 1989. This filled an immediate void and the business has helped many traders over the years and is now here on the web.
Over the years John has developed a number of trading techniques but summarises his approach as Psycho-Trading - meaning getting into the mind of the market. John spends his time in the Surrey 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!
