Courtney Smith: We
get a lot of questions about the "Turtle Trader" website. Is
it related to the famous Turtles and/or Richard Dennis? Is the
product any good? We don't know a lot about their products but
we will contact them to see if they are willing to be reviewed
by us. We do know that they are not associated with Richard
Dennis or the Turtles but they do seem to be focused on the
same type of trend following methods that they used. I believe
that the trend following techniques outlined by the original
Turtles and Richard Dennis are excellent ways for traders to
make money in the markets but require extra self discipline
because the drawdowns tend to be larger than other systems.
In spite of this, I use similar techniques in my own professional
trading.
