What Do I Get Out Of It?

John Thomas, aka the Mad Hedge Fund Trader, has spent the last 50 years combing the world for traders and investors worth listening to. For the 26th Summit he has brought in the pick of that crop — people who make money in any market conditions, pandemics and wars included. Sit with them for a few days and they will sharpen your earning power for years.

Pick of the Harvest

Mad Hedge Traders and Investors Summit speakers teach the strategies that make money in every season of the market, not just the easy ones. Never lose sleep again worrying about the safety of your retirement portfolio. Best of all, attendance is FREE.

Every Row of the Vineyard

We walk every asset class, hunting the best longs and shorts around the world: stocks, bonds, options, foreign currencies, precious metals, commodities, energy and bitcoin. Decades of experience, pressed into a few hours of learning.

Learn to Read the Season

Buy low, sell high. Everyone talks about it, but few can pull it off. Knowing when a market is ripe — and when it has already turned — takes decades of volatility to learn. Take our speakers’ hundreds of years of experience and graft it onto your own.

Win $100,000 in Prizes

As each speaker presents, we hold a lottery among registered participants, giving away trading and investment services for FREE. You could be the lucky winner of a $12,000-a-year one-on-one mentoring service.

The Host

John Thomas
The Mad Hedge Fund Trader

John Thomas has been reading markets since 1974: Tokyo correspondent for The Economist and the Financial Times, director of Japanese equity derivatives at Swiss Bank Corp, and founder of the first ever dedicated international hedge fund — a top performer he sold in 1999. Fifty years of that, and he still collects vintage wines. He knows exactly what separates a good year from a great one.

That is why the lineup matters. John hand-picks every speaker: industry insiders who have spent their entire lives in the financial markets and who make money in any conditions. Across four days they hand you a hyper-targeted read on how markets will trade into 2027, and which trades are still worth picking. Sector selection will be everything. Invest a few hours of your time and it should multiply your performance for the rest of the year, if not your life.

Trade On The Side Of Institutional Money In Gaps

I am the Founder and Owner of an international educational company where I teach people how to successfully trade the stock market.

If you are tired of living paycheck to paycheck and not having enough money left to save than come to this webinar to learn more about my trading system. This system sets up very fast in the morning and the stock moves play out between 9:30 and 10AM EST.

Q&Ai - with Maddie

John Thomas Cross-Examines the Machine That Has Read Every Word Mad Hedge Ever Published

Madeleine — Maddie — is the Mad Hedge research archive with a face and a voice. She has read every word the firm has published: the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader, the Technology Letter, the Biotech Letter, the Mad Hedge AI letter, and every biweekly webinar Q&A going back years. Close to two thousand pieces, and she can find any sentence in it in under a second. She is not a person and she is not an analyst. She has no opinions of her own — that was a condition of employment. Every answer she gives comes from something Mad Hedge published, with the source and the date on screen while she says it. Where the archive has no answer, she says so rather than guessing. She does not sleep, does not need a green room, and has never once required coffee on day three of a Summit.

10:00 AMET

Tony Barassi

Tony Barassi has spent over a decade at the very heart of the gold markets, working not on the sidelines, not as a commentator, but for big banks and institutions . The ones that buy gold in the millions and move markets… Banks and institutions pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to access his algorithms and expertise. And here’s the kicker: Tony has won so many trading awards, he may have actually lost count. He is so skilled that he is a funded trader, which means he trades using someone else’s money, at a scale most people could only dream of. That’s right: banks, hedge funds and billionaire family offices have trusted him with millions, and he consistently proves he can deliver.

From Random Setups to a Fundable Process: A Futures Trader's Playbook for Getting (and Staying) Funded

Craig Hill is a professional futures trader with over 20 years of experience and the creator of the Path2Prop Funded Futures Framework. He runs a LIVE trading room five days a week, trading the same rules-based process he teaches, and has mentored thousands of traders on building the discipline prop firms look for. Through Path2Prop and TradeFundrr, Craig helps traders move from chasing setups to running a repeatable, fundable process... and has helped numerous traders earn real payouts through the TradeFundrr funded-trading path.

What you’ll learn
  • Most traders don’t lose because they lack information... they lose because what they know has never been organized into a process they can execute under pressure.
  • In this session, futures trader and Path2Prop-Futures lead educator Craig Hill breaks down the framework prop firms actually use to evaluate traders... and the behaviors that separate traders who get funded and stay funded from those who remain stuck in the evaluation cycle.
  • Attendees will learn:
  • Why information ≠ structure, and why that gap keeps many otherwise knowledgeable traders stuck.
  • The three Path2Prop entry models: Liquidity Sweep, Continuation Order Block, and Continuation Propulsion Block ...all governed by one shared qualification standard.
  • What prop firms are really evaluating: consistency, drawdown discipline, risk management, and rule-following ...not your best trade.
  • How a real weekend market-prep routine and annotated trade translate the framework into actual market decisions.

Sean Allison

Sean Allison has been trading and investing for over 20 years. When he realised that 1 in 3 Australian pensioners live in poverty, he decided to teach people how to take control of their financial future, by becoming financially educated. Since then, Sean Allison has taught over 10,000 people worldwide to trade while effectively managing risk, through his Cash Flow Options courses. It all started when Sean was working as an accountant. He began looking for a way to generate income, without taking up more of his time. He had been fascinated by the simplicity of Options Trading while studying Accounting and Finance at University. The concept of being able to generate consistent cash flow from anywhere in the world hooked him. Despite the Options Trading system being used by billionaires Warren Buffet and Robert Kiyosaki, only 2% of the world’s population have ever heard of it. Sean Allison decided to complete the course required for Professional Option Floor Traders, before going onto the Stock Pit Floor. As a result, he made over $5,000 in his first 2 months of trading Options. He knew he couldn’t keep this to himself and that many people needed help gaining control over their financial future – so Cash Flow Options was launched. We believe people have the ability to become financially literate and self-sufficient, no matter their age, background or level of experience. The Cash Flow Options team is dedicated to delivering financial education that is simple, easy-to-follow and jargon-free. We give people the understanding they need, to secure their financial future, and that of their family.

Q&Ai - with Maddie

John Thomas Cross-Examines the Machine That Has Read Every Word Mad Hedge Ever Published

Madeleine — Maddie — is the Mad Hedge research archive with a face and a voice. She has read every word the firm has published: the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader, the Technology Letter, the Biotech Letter, the Mad Hedge AI letter, and every biweekly webinar Q&A going back years. Close to two thousand pieces, and she can find any sentence in it in under a second. She is not a person and she is not an analyst. She has no opinions of her own — that was a condition of employment. Every answer she gives comes from something Mad Hedge published, with the source and the date on screen while she says it. Where the archive has no answer, she says so rather than guessing. She does not sleep, does not need a green room, and has never once required coffee on day three of a Summit.
