Re: Turtle Trader System

My recollection is that the Turtles use a Donchian breakout
system, where the upper channel line is drawn at the highest
high of 20-60 bars ago, and the lower channel line is the
lowest low of 20-60 bars ago.  I don't recall how they exit
their trades.  They apply the system to a large basket of
non-correlated futures to even out the equity curve.

For a system like this you would get large drawdowns, so
money management would be critical.  The entry system is
a valid one, but you'd need a good exit, a large account to
properly diversify and, in my opinion, nerves of steel.
