After taking out an advert in the newspapers, they whittled down over 1,000 applicants to 21 and so began the training of the famous Turtle Traders whom themselves went on to make millions of dollars. The Turtle Trading systems were invented by Richard Dennis and Bill Eckhart and were completely automated systems that covered every aspect of trading and left virtually no decisions to the whims of the trader. We have taken the powerful Turtle Trading system and adapted it for use on the JSE. The statistics of this strategy are phenomenal, but you have to have the courage to follow the 80-day forced holding period of the Big Dipper without any trailing stops or stop-loss strategy. The last 8 years of the strategy are shown below:
