About the author
John Piper has been involved with markets since his early twenties. In the late 1980s he started to trade options full time and did so right through the Crash of 1987 - an experience that stands him in good stead for the markets today. For over a decade he has been the editor of The Technical Trader, the leading newsletter in the UK for those who trade in futures and options markets worldwide.
Reviews
“In the book you are about to read, John Piper takes you beyond theory. He provides an essential lesson that most never get.”
“John Piper’s thought-provoking book reflects his individual approach to effective trading in financial markets. Not only is his own success a powerful argument for reading it, but the fact that markets are becoming increasingly volatile and divorced from fundamental values is a powerful reason for ensuring that knowledge is updated as regularly as possible.”
“John Piper’s success is based on a combination of a clearly defined strategy, disciplined money management techniques, and the ability to adapt to differing market conditions. This book is essential for investors prepared to look below the surface and profit consistently from market price action.”
“Brokers love a trader who is successful over the longer term. John Piper is such a trader and this book explains how and why.”
