Why would someone part with quite a large fee to have me teach them these inside secrets only then  to do absolutely nothing about it?

The winners know two things:

They can have six straight losing hands in a row and it doesn’t worry them in the slightest – they know, with ice-cold certainty, that a winner will come along to redress the balance and put them into profit.

And so they keep banking the money year after year after year – it’s almost boring for them. (By the way, I have been banned from almost every casino within commuting (5 hours flying) distance from my home!)

The losers lack discipline and don’t get the bets on; they also run for cover after the first two or three losing hands – they simply do not have the emotional fortitude to take a loss.

 Futures trading is a little like that. I can snap my fingers at any number of straight losing trades (remember the four-sided dice?) my losses are always minimised in these trades, in a way I will teach you when we meet. But still, they are real losses.

You see I know with 100% certainty (after over twenty years there is not a flicker of doubt in my mind) that within a short time I will have a winning trade – and that trade will make me a large amount of money, easily enough to wipe out all the losses and put me into a huge profit.

I well remember teaching this at a recent seminar. As it happened, the seminar coincided with one  market which was set to explode. I showed the delegates that this was about to happen. Three weeks later it made the biggest move it had made in a decade.

Now two important things happened:

1.  My telling all those people had not the slightest effect on the market – I still made a killing (proving the market is far bigger than anything we Turtles can influence.)

  2.  Only 25% of the delegates got on board! The others missed the chance due to inertia, laziness, inattention or thinking they knew better. Just imagine that! They had all paid money to have me   teach them this incredible system, and then….  they missed out on perhaps the biggest most profitable trade for a decade… and that’s AFTER I had spelled it out to them.

For some reason, people often associate futures or commodities trading with egg-head type people who are hugely knowledgeable and have spent a lifetime studying these things.

Well, I and the other Turtles are living proof that this is not so.

Here are a few things you do NOT NEED:

• NO degree in maths and statistical methods.

• NO Knowledge of economics.

• NO knowledge whatsoever of markets and how or why they move.

• Any experience of trading futures

• NO Staff, NO premises, stock and NO expensive overhead

• Intuition or a ‘feel’ for markets. This is an objective method, not subjective

You will not be looking at charts and making ‘educated guesses’ about what to do. 
There is too much room for error there.

What You DO NEED in Order to do This

• The ability to understand and follow three simple rules

• Discipline and common sense (do not just nod to this – it is hugely important and I will be covering this in a little while. Everyone claims to be disciplined but few actually are)

• To have your finances in order and to be solvent. You cannot play with ‘scared’ money

• About an hour each day (often it is far less)

• A PC and telephone line an internet connection

• A downloading software and data (ADEST can help you with this)

• An open mind. Forget everything you have heard about trading and be prepared to learn a   simple method that works.

• Willingness to learn.

• Humility and the realisation that you know very little, if anything, about how markets move or why. That’s great – you don’t need to know anything about either

In my long experience with trading, there is one characteristic which always spells trouble. 

Ego – thinking you know better than the markets. The fantastic thing about the Turtle trading method is that you genuinely need to know nothing about the markets you are trading.

I would say the less you know, the better because then you will not be tempted to get ‘cute’. The markets are always right –and that’s what gives  the system its power. The problem starts when people think they know better or that they are ‘experts’.

Even worse is if they start having ‘hunches’ or ‘intuitions’ that the market is about to move in a certain way.

Profit Begins with a ‘D’

Success comes from one personality trait – discipline. You must have this if you are to be successful.  When questioned, 100% of people claim to be self-disciplined (just like 100% of people claim to be ‘above average’ in intelligence or to have a great sense of humour!). Most people think they have discipline –  only about 20% of people actually have it

Discipline is definitely the number one required quality of a successful trader

Are you a disciplined person, in general?

There are dozens of indicators of a disciplined mind:

Can you get up in the morning? 
Are your shoes clean, your hair and teeth brushed?
Are your car and house tidy? 
Are your personal papers (gas bills etc.) filed in some sort of reasonable order? 
Do you turn out a good job of work, even when nobody is looking? 
Do you arrive on time for appointments?

I could think of many more indicators. You get the idea.  

It’s up to you to look at your life and make an honest assessment of your level of discipline (or lack of it).  

Discipline is vital. It allows you to hold off from making a trade if the ‘Get In’ signal is not quite there yet.

Discipline means you get out when the rules tell you to. You take profits instead of
pushing for the last pound (greed is a form of indiscipline). 

Discipline stops you trading with money you cannot afford to lose.  

Indiscipline would make you push on, over the  edge, hoping to make up your losses in one, final mega-trade, Nick Leeson style!

I know one thing for sure – what I do makes money. It works. I have made consistent profits from this. Dennis and Eckhardt made $200 million using these three simple rules, so I ask the person if they have made more than $200 million. If not, I assume they are not as smart as Dennis and Eckhardt.

The day I meet someone who has made more than $200 million – that’s the day I switch systems.  Also, I like people to disagree with me. Remember the zero sum game?  

The more people who bet against me, the more money there is available for me and the other Turtles to make.

This is something I am often asked, and it is a reasonable question, particularly as you may believe that futures and commodities are ultra-risky gambles.

Well, the simple answer is that yes, of course, there is a risk of loss  involved, just like with any trading or investment. And yes, I would say the risk is higher than investing in blue chips or whatever. But of course the rewards are massively larger – and that’s why I and the other Turtles do it. (and hey, blue-chips are not doing so great in case you hadn’t noticed!)

The great thing about this is that you can test the Turtle rules before you make a single live trade. Any decent computer trading software will verify for you that this woks consistently. 

At this point I expect you would like to know a little more about this fantastic profit generator?

More About the Turtle Trading Method

Here are a few indicators of what we do (and don’t do)

1.    We don’t try to predict the market. Nobody is clever enough to do that, no matter what they say.  Quite honestly, I do not want to spend 8 hours per day analysing the markets, reading press releases  and scouring the financial press.

2.    Using certain signals (what I call the ‘Get In’ rule), we learn to spot a trend. When a trend emerges (up or down) we leap on board and ride the wave. Sometimes the wave fizzles out as fast as it began and we only make a small amount or even lose a little. But every so often (several times a year)  we get to ride a large wave and when we do we make enormous profits.

3.   I do not know how long any particular trend will continue. A trend is moved by forces outside of any one person’s knowledge and control. It could be days or months. I do not need to know exactly when it will turn around. I apply another simple rule (called, unimaginatively, the ‘Get out’ rule) and that pulls me automatically out of the market when the trend has finished.

Here’s What Else We Do:

You  may be interested to hear that for each of my successful years it has been a different market that has made the big bucks for me. One year it was silver, another it was coffee (I made $22,000 per position on that one!) the next it was Soya beans.

And that is all there is to it. The rules are simple – a 12 year old could understand them perfectly. The instructions are simple and clear; the same 12 year old could apply them. What is difficult is having the personal discipline to do it every day; also having the discipline to follow rules and not get cute or think you know better – you don’t.

You also need the benefit of my 20+ years of refining, honing and USING the system. All of this knowledge will be yours by the end of the weekend.

Here's What YOU'LL Discover :

1.      The Turtle ‘Get In’ rule – after glancing at a chart, this tells you how to identify an emerging trend and  exactly when to make your trade. It takes less than one minute to apply to each market.

2.      The Turtle ‘Get Out’ rule. After glancing at a chart, this rule tells you when the trend has finished and when to close your trade and take profits. It takes less than one minute to apply to each market.

3.      How to handle your entire trading in less than one hour each day and one single telephone call per day.  Everything else happens automatically for you. (On many days it will only be 10 minutes or less).

4.      Why this unique system means you do not have to watch a flickering screen all day or keep your eyes glued to the market. Remember, under one hour a day and one ‘phone call – that is all I do, and that is all you need to do.

5.     The specific rules for defining a breakout. Markets have a lot of sideways movement – we are not interested in that. We only get on  board when the market ‘breaks out’ from a sideways movement and starts to trend either upwards or downwards.

6.      Why you shouldn’t read newspapers, scour the financial press, join Internet sites or listen to stories and rumours.

7.      Why you need to know nothing whatsoever about fundamentals of markets. You simply have not got the time and energy to spend in studying these things. You will look at ‘close of day’ prices only, and make your decisions on these.

8.      How small traders can apply the techniques at least as well as the big money managers – and often better.
