In December of 1983 Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt set out to prove if traders are made or born. They placed an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal and selected 14 people off the street to go through a 2 week training course on Dennis’ trading system. Dennis then funded these traders using his own personal funds to trade his system on the commodities market. These new traders were called Turtles and they had a very successful year of trading, gaining a combined 80% over the course of a year.

I tested the original system as described and documented. However the system used in the 80’s does not translate to modern Forex or Crypto trading. So I modified the system and created the Modern Turtle System which I tested 100 times and proved profitable.
