Introduction John has been trading markets since the mid 80s, writing options, 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. 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 runs the BIG CALL service which is devoted to catching the big moves.
