Turtles Frequently Asked Questions

You asked>> Also would you know who owns and operates turtletrader.con and 
what their experience is in the turtle trading method.

I am not sure where you get this information and because it needs correcting and we want you to have the best I will point you in the right direction:

1. Ed Seykota is not a Turtle - never was in the First Program with Mr Sands or in the second Program - Seykota is a Trend Follower but because he lacked the necessary rounding and fail safes the Turtles method gives you ED has had a rougher time trading with much bigger draw downs than Rich Dennis in 1999/2000 when Richard Dennis decided to close his fund after a 39% draw down. Rich had made between 1994 and and when the fund closed an average annual return of 36% even...after deducting for his 20% management fees. That is a very good return better than many many other traders.  
   
2. Chesapeake Capital Jerry Parker is probably the biggest and most famous Turtle Trader. Jerry Parker and Mr Russell Sands were Partners in Chesapeake Capital when the Turtle Program ended.
   
3. There are plenty of Turtles like Stig Osgard Mike Carr, Bill Eckhardt & Russell Sands who still trade. Russell Sands Trades his own Turtle signals and has done so for nearly 23 years.
   
4. Russell Sands has been interviewed in Stocks and Commodities and spoken to numerous futures and trading conferences around the world - he is very famous in the inner world of traders. He lives a fairly quiet life now traveling and trading at the same time.
   
5. Russell Sands trades the Turtles Method every day the same way as he did 20 plus years ago in the Turtle Program. He teaches his students the same method.
   
6. The Turtle method is generally thought of as a Long Term method - but if you are trading a Market with big intra day ranges like the E_Mini, Dax, FTSE and currencies the Turtles method is very relevant.
