Turtle Trading System

Quote from jcl:

It would be a matter of 2 hours to code it, but that's probably wasted time. From all I heard, this strategy is not profitable anymore since the 1990s. From its algorithm.

it also does not look as if it could have a real edge - and even back then, some of the turtle traders lost their money.

I agree with much of that;
except thats a laugh'' it does not look as if it could have a real edge '':D

Rich taught the turtles to use ''flair'' sucessfully, but to write ''turtle traders lostt money'' because of the system, is 100% wrong.


Still some did lose money...:cool: :D
Old Timer said ''big traders lose money...They Just LOSE:D''

According to a description of that system that I read some time ago, they lost their money because they did not 100% follow all special rules, and thus missed some profitable trades.

I admit that it's hard to tell from the rules of a system if it could have an edge or not. It obviously had an edge during a certain time period.
 
Quote from FrankSlaughtery:

it's can't be that hard

buy above 20 day high
exit below 10 day low

reverse for short

buy above 55 day high
exit below 20 day low

reverse for short

then you totally miss the main part which is money management with ATR.

I never heard anyone win big just because they believe "what they heard from other".

A guy as been trashing AB in another thread (don't understanding how to use it) and now he is asking for a script.
AB is one of most the active forums on trading development SW.
So why he is not using it?

IT is not active at all, Elite Trader is much better. I suggest this forum admin should ban this user because he is suggesting other to use another not active forum instead of this one.
