The Turle’s story has been one of the most appealing stories in currency trading history. This is about inexperienced traders who in 14 days learned a method, applied it and earned millions as a profit; some even became few the most famous traders in the world.

It all started with a debate.

Richard Dennis taught a group of students about a system used to follow a trend. This is to prove that profession is not an issue and that trading is a skill that anybody can learn.

This issue had been brought into a debate with Dennis and his friend / partner William Eckhardt. Eckhardt on the other hand believe that successful trading cannot be taught to every person.

But then, who were the turtles?

They are people that come from diverse backgrounds and have nothing in common but a blank experience in trading. One is an actor and the others are the following: a security guard, a book keeper, a boy without any work experience, a clerk, and some professional card players.

They were taught to have the right mindset together with the use of a simple system and a strict money management. These are what they have learned to succeed.

The system:

The system is so simple that anybody; just like the turtles, with the will to learn it could. Dennis knew that trading methods that are full of twists and turns are not likely to be successful than the simple ones.

The turtles then build confidence with their system and developed the discipline to follow it.

Confidence and discipline goes hand in hand in currency trading. Traders that fail, mostly doesn’t have the discipline because they are not confident enough to use their method and stay on it.

What we learn.

This story teaches us that in trading it is not necessary to have a profession to achieve something but working smart and not hard on the right areas added with a strong determination to succeed – millions comes next.
