half is the way it is taught
The Original Turtle Trading System is a complete Trading Methodology,
not just a set of mathematical rules
6. Other people are willing to sell the Turtle system
for less money (or for more money)
I hate to talk badly about other people, even when they talk
badly about me. I have always held myself above that, and will
continue to do so. There are a couple of other guys out there
that are marketing so called turtle trading courses,
and saying bad things about me to boost themselves up. I really
have better things to do than get into a pissing contest with
these clowns.
There is one guy who sells a course for about $1,000, which
is a lot cheaper than mine. The only problem is, he
is not a Turtle, never was a Turtle, and in fact, I
have never been able to find out exactly who or what he is.
Except that he has a nice slick website, and apparently a lot
of experience with marketing various products over the internet.
He has somehow learned some of the Turtle Secrets,
but by no means has all of it. And what is even worse, I have
heard from many of his disgruntled customers that he is impossible
to get hold of, and his follow up support is non-existent.
On the other end of the scale, there is another fellow, who
is indeed a legitimate Turtle, and in fact
one of the better ones as far as I can remember. This guy wants
to give away the Turtle rules for free on his website, because
he believes (as Richard Dennis has said in
the past), that nobody is going to have the discipline to follow
them anyway. And of course, he is right. But then his company
wants to offer you a week long private trading course for the
paltry fee of $25,000. Well, if you have that kind of money,
please go and be my guest. But I just can’t imagine what
he can teach you that I can’t that would possibly be worth
that kind of money, or anything even remotely close.
The bottom line is that the material is only half the
story, the more important half is the way it is taught.
I know guys who are brilliant traders, but
they couldn’t explain to you the first thing they do,
because either they can’t quantify it, or they just don’t
have the right communication skills. The value I give is not
in just giving the rules, but in explaining how they work, how
and when and where to use them, and to support them all with
historical testing to show they really do work.
