Turtle Trading

Trading Term

During 1983, renowned commodity traders Richard Dennis and William Eckhardt conducted the Turtle Trading experiment with the aim of demonstrating the teachability of trading to anyone. Richard Dennis held the belief that trading the futures markets could be imparted to anyone, whereas William Eckhardt argued that Richard possessed a unique talent that allowed him to profit from trading. Turtle Trading is a trend-following strategy based on acquiring a stock or contract when a breakout occurs and promptly selling during a retracement or decline in price.
