Question Mad Hedge-Fund Trader

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.

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.

Re: Mad Hedge-Fund Trader

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.

Re: Mad Hedge-Fund Trader

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.....

Re: Mad Hedge-Fund Trader

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.

trading is about understanding yourself...
you don't need anybody else.
