Product Description:
What happens when ordinary people are taught a system to make extraordinary money?
Richard Dennis made a fortune on Wall Street by investing according to a few simple rules. Convinced that great trading was a skill that could be taught to anyone, he made a bet with his partner and ran a classified ad in the Wall Street Journal looking for novices to train. His recruits, later known as the Turtles, had anything but traditional Wall Street backgrounds; they included a professional blackjack player, a pianist, and a fantasy game designer. By the time the experiment ended, Dennis had made a hundred million dollars from his Turtles and created one killer Wall Street legend.
In The Complete TurtleTrader, Michael W. Covel tells their riveting story with the first ever on-the-record interviews with individual Turtles. He shows how Dennis's rules workedâand can still work todayâfor any investor with the desire and commitment to learn from one of the greatest investing stories of all time.

I was first introduced to the Turles experiment in Way of the Turtle, from Curtis Faith. I really liked his book, and can honestly advise that book to everyone interested in the Turtle experiment. At first I was a bit afraid I would read a lot of things I already knew from Faith his book.
Luckily for me this book didn't bore me. In fact, I could not even put it down at moments when I was reading it. I just had to read further, to see how the Turtles would trade further. The last time I had ... Read More

This book was recommended to me by a proven successful trend following trader in Australia. He has built his own long and medium ... Read More

Yes, this is the best, well-researched written story on the turtles. You can't find anywhere else. It is a great book for any person curious to know about this great experiment, and also about Richard Dennis, which was not much written about except a few newspaper articles from the 80s.
It not only tells the full story from the beginning, the recruitment process, what Richard and Eckhart thought, what kind of people were selected, and why some failed. The pros, the cons, the difficulties of implementing, ... Read More

I have always been fascinated by the Turtles and have read every item I could find about them. However, this book truly let's you inside to understand the story from their perspective. I keep a copy at home and at the office.

The Complete Turtle Trade is the follow up to Trend Following by Michael Covel. I have actually vacillated back and forth between trading stocks and real estate. While real estate is a much less efficient market, Covel's approach to trading stocks makes it a more reasonable proposition. Price is the determining factor. That's all you need to trade. So many investing programs are "black box" and you don't know what determines taking action or they are so complicate you must spend hours trying to figures out ... Read More
