Publisher's summary

This is the true story behind Wall Street legend Richard Dennis, his disciples, the Turtles, and the trading techniques that made them millionaires. 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. For two weeks, Dennis taught them his investment rules and philosophy, and set them loose to start trading, each with a million dollars of his money. By the time the experiment ended, Dennis had made $100,000,000 from his Turtles and created one killer Wall Street legend. In The Complete Turtle Trader, Michael W. Covel, best-selling author of Trend Following and managing editor of TurtleTrader.com, the leading website on the Turtles, tells their riveting story with the first ever on-the-record interviews with individual Turtles. He describes how Dennis interviewed and selected his students, details their education and experiences while working for him, and breaks down the Turtle system and rules in full. He reveals how they made astounding fortunes, and follows their lives from the original experiment to the present day. Some have grown even wealthier than ever, and include some of today's top hedge fund managers. Equally important are those who passed along their approach to a second generation of Turtles, proving that the Turtles' system truly is reproducible, and that anyone with the discipline and the desire to succeed can do as well as - or even better than - Wall Street's top hedge fund wizards. These rules worked - and still work today - for everyone.

Great Story!

The story of the turtles is one of great mystery, yet very inspiring. Although the author might be somewhat ‘aggressively’ defensive about the book at some times, the information seems to be well researched and curated. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though I am not an experienced trader myself. Joel Richards is a very good narrator, and did a great job woth this book.

Great Book

Definitely worth the read. You will want to do research into the futures market too after reading this !

Wow !!!

That was amazing one of the best books I’ve ever heard I can’t wait till this is a movie ! Thank you

Let the narrator read.

The story is decently interesting, but the author's voice ruined the experience. He should just let the paid narrator (who was good) read, instead of trying to intert himself in a narcissistic manner.

Not much new

Book is mostly stories without much substance on trading techniques. Small part of chapter covers system which you need paper copy of book or download PDF from their site .

Outstanding

Amazing book, amazing story. A must read book for everyone doesn’t matter if you are trader or not.

Turtle Trader

Loved it! Extremely informative and educational. I highly recommend this book. Anyone looking for motivation and life experience should definitely read it and even more so, apply its principles

Fascinating book

I had no idea of the trend following concept. Now I am ready for Michael Covel's next books on this topic.

This needs to be on the big screen

The turtle trader would be a movie or series worth watching for anyone interested in trading.

Great book on trend following!

This is the story of Richard Dennis the "Prince of the Pit" and his incredible trend following trading system. I really enjoyed the first hand experiences of the turtles and learning about their trades. There is a large amount of detail here. Great start for any novice trader.
