Thanks for your very informative daily updates and stories. I subscribe to four daily investment advisors and yours are the only one I always read and almost always follow.

I followed your trades to the letter and most were successful. The problem was I was not trading live (always at least half a day late and sometimes a full day due to the time difference (US versus AUD), and my trade size was too small.

I am basically using your alerts as the trigger to place the trade as a CFD (entry via a stop just above previous day?s high ? for a long/call) and then manage them with a trailing stop loss using the daily charts (stop loss just below previous day?s low unless the day was an inside bar).

This seems to work much better and entry and exits from trades are far more successful at the price you want to trade at.

Looking forward to applying this strategy for 2017 and hopefully I will catch up with you next time you are in Australia.

Hope you have a great XMAS and New Year.

As a new subscriber of just under two months, I thought I'd check in with you.

I am really enjoying your service. I look forward to your daily diaries for their wit and wisdom. I don't miss a webinar. I very much appreciate that you take the time to answer questions by e-mail.

You are helping cure me of bad habits like being unable to cut losses or take profits, being wedded to positions, and investing through ideology rather than intelligence (such as the idea that gold is always a safe haven, oil is running out and can only go up, etc.).

And you're clearly a big-hearted guy with much wisdom both in and out of the market.

I'm looking forward to trading more successfully in the New Year with your help. You've clearly helped a lot of people and I'm looking forward to being one of them.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays up the hill in Tahoe,

?I can't tell you how much I enjoy your blog. It is the first place I go every morning and I miss you on the weekends.

I stumbled upon your site about 4 months ago and have been addicted to it since day one. I really appreciate not only your insight into the markets, but also your global and historical perspectives.

All of this served up with your great sense of humor makes it a must read! Thanks for all your hard work.

John,

Thanks for the "Heads up" on Nvidia (NVDA).?

It took a little patience to bear with all that happened last week,?but you were spot on and my $70 call option paid off 100% for a sweet 10k profit in less than a few weeks.

Keep them coming John.? After seven years with your service, I rely on you to keep my retired wife in the style she has become accustomed to living.?

Life is good and so are you.

I watched John Thomas for a year before jumping in, and I should have done it earlier when he phenomenally traded that awful year, 2011, that whipsawed so many investors including myself.

He again outperformed the market in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and so far he has shown amazing skill once more in navigating treacherous markets with deep-in-the-money call and put spreads.

You can not exactly replicate his numbers 100% of the time for many different reasons, some of them strictly technical in nature.

But you will get most of them, or you can use his trade alerts just directionally to help you determine where you should put your money and how to allocate your dollars risk on vs. risk off.

I am up 20% trading with John since October 2015. I also like John's in-depth charts, market insights, and his educational webinars, that have become the cornerstone of my market evaluations.

One should never put all eggs in the same basket, but subscribing to the Mad Hedge Fund Trader is a smart way to enhance the performance of your stock portfolio.
