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 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 futures and options markets worldwide. His articles bring a fine edge of analysis to markets and how they work. He trades full time, making consistent profits, and now manages money for selected clients at Berkeley Futures Limited, a firm regulated by the SFA. He lives in Cob-ham, Surrey and in Massa, Italy.
