About John
My Story
I was born in Durban South Africa. I started trading equities in 2005 and initially focused on value investing. I did quite well in my first year but then I switched to an approach based on a technical analysis and I lost heavily. I switched to forex trading with a proven method and trading package in 2011. I once again found myself on the losing side. In 2015 I read rich dad poor dad and was intrigued by the author writing about trading with insurance. That was my first exposure to options and derivatives and from there I read books, did training courses and taught myself how to trade options. In 2017 I read the bitcoin whitepaper and was instantly fascinated by the technology of Bitcoin. I read all that I could on the subject. In 2019 I started a Blockchain special interest group and also started trading Bitcoin options. I have a deep fascination with both Bitcoin and options trading and this has prompted me to write and speak about these subjects.
