Mad Hedge-Fund Trader

Recommended Posts

I am considering subscribing to John Thomas' new prgram which is called "macro millionaire". Has anyone had any success dealing with John Thomas and his "Mad Hedge-Fund Trader " program? He is promoting his new mentor program for a fee of 1997.00 per year. I have been following his webinar promotions over the last week, and of course they are impressive, but have been unable to find any substantiated reviews on Google searches that I believe to be independent reviews. Any help would be appreciated.

No, I am not kidding. Are you telling me that you know it is a scam? I am just here to learn and am trying to find out if anyone has any experience dealing with John Thomas and his Mad Hedge-Fund Trader program. Is there anyone out there who has any experience dealing with this program?

You're better off putting that 2k into a market account and learning to trade yoruself after first spending some time on a paper trading account.

 

You should learn about the turtles. You can give someone a step by step system and they will still fail. You need to learn on your own.

 

Read through this site and get ideas, develop a system, back test it, paper trade it then go out on your own.

 

I would recommend you get a good broker who understands what you are trying to do and will work with you to develop your system. Get good charting software and data and get started.

Thanks Nick. I am familiar with the "Turtles" and totally agree with your advice. I am not a newbie, and I understand that, although the system is important, trader psychology and risk management (to simplify and keep it brief) are the most important factors that decide whether or not you can be a profitable trader. I just was interested if any traders have ever had any dealings with John Thomas or his advice on profiting from macro economic events. I am just looking for an edge from the macro trend perspective.

Yes I know some folks who got involved. One of them actually caught herpes just reading the material......

 

Ok, just kidding.

 

Seriously though, you ought to give it a try, I think anytime a vendor offers a program with the word "Millionaire" in the title....clearly it is time to jump on it before that valuable program disappears.....right....

 

you know, I was giving this subject some thought...over the years I have tried quite a few "Millionaire" programs....lets see there was "Millionaire Dog Grooming"....that one sucked...."Millionaire Pest Control"...."Millionaire Tax Preparation" oh yeah and my favorite..."Millionaire Shoe Salesman"....and curently I am thinking seriously about buying the "Millionaire Real Estate Investor" program...you may want to look into that one as well.....

screw millionaire....these guys are behind the times. the new word today thanks to China, the growing budget deficits and the real big boys in hedge funds is BILLIONAIRE. if you are not aiming for that then clearly the system just does not work.

But no.... i dont know who John Thomas is.

There is a reason you can't find anything about him/it with google.

 

1. Most of these guys change their names frequently to stay ahead of the last generation of sheep.

2. Most of the sheep are far too embarrassed to post about it. They wonder if it was just them.

 

But the "millionaire" bit is a complete giveaway. Show some brains and stay away.

Right! When I was a kid it counted for something nowadays my cleaner is one. Incidentally in UK English John Thomas is slang for *cough* a penis, I'd be wary.

He started this service in late November and his December returns with this service were over 20%, he uses alot of options spreads. Also, years worth of archives are available for FREE on his website. I have been following him for a while and he was spot on for all of 2010.

 

He does put on a cheezy hard sell with his marketing, but once you start reading his content and viewing the webinars you will see that he is for real. But like I said, his archives speak for themselves so don't listen to me - go read 3 years worth of content for free to see how roght or wrong he has been.

To be fair, i could post up 3 years of successful trades, they are pretty easy to find in the past, the difficuly lies in finding them before they happen!! Have you ever heard of the saying 'those who can, trade. Those who cant, teach' ?

I need an attorney to file suit against JOHN THOMAS, the so called MAD HEDGE FUND TRADER. The man is an arrogant, name dropping incompetent. I lost nearly $10,000 due to his advice during his 90 day trial period. I have the evidence to prove it. Please provide me the names of some law firms. I need to file a lawsuit against this man.

You lost $10,000?! Why would you blindly follow a salesperson's trading advice with real money?? Why didn't you demo-trade first until you discovered whether or not John was legit?? You won't win a lawsuit...you undoubtedly signed that you completely understood the risk and relieved JT of any responsibility. Just accept responsibility for your bad decision, deal with the consequences, and move on... :roll eyes:

On which trades?? Please share. The short Euro trade is the only loser on the books and the realized gains since December are +26%. The BAC call spread returned 9% alone in one month.

 

Secondly, please report returns as a %. 10k is alot to some and negligible to others, depends on your portfolio size.

John, I am new to Traders Laboratory and have your exact same question,except I only saw his presentation for the first time today. I agree with your assessment of all the Google listings...nothing from an independent source.

 

Have you received other answers from your inquiry? Would really like to see them if you had.

 

Thanks.

Sorry thats impossible. John has a very transparent trading book. Since Jan 2 2011, he has initiated 9 trades, and

 

GLD Put Spread 37% gain

VIX Call Spread 15% Gain

SPY Put Spread 14% Gain

USO Put Spread 81% Gain

YCS 12% Loss

FXE Put Spread 75% loss

Oh and I forgot the still open position:

 

Sold TLT Puts 74.5% gain

 

So anyone claiming they lost alot of money with this service isn't using the service properly, sorry folks.

 

If you include December results, as the service started early December, the portfolio is up over 25% since inception.

 

I only subscribed after making a killing following his free content for 2 years. THis is the closest thing to the real deal as i have ever found. You can basically trade like a hedge fund for a fraction of the cost.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
