Who is Turtle Trader?

We get asked this so many times it qualifies as a Frequently Asked Question

We are also often asked, "Would you know who owns and operates turtletrader.com and
what their experience is in the turtle trading method?"


The mysterious person behind that website is called "Gerry".
The only Gerry in the Turtle program was Gerry Parker with whom I
(Russell Sands an original Turtle Program graduate) set up Chesapeake Capital
(The Biggest Turtle Fund there is) with.
Gerry Parker is definitely not involved with that website.
That website appeared in 1996 a full 4 years after I started my seminars.
They were not original turtles they are copycats and are not genuine.
They are however very good at selling stuff and imitating.

If you are interested to see how real they were asking the following questions:

1. Were you employed by Richard Dennis?
2. Which Turtle Intake were you in?
3. Have you ever managed Richard Dennis' money in the futures market?
4. Are you a Registered CTA?


Russell Sands can answer yes on the first 3counts. Can the others?

And as far as the fourth?

Russell Sands has been actively and successfully involved in the Futures Industry for over 25 years, and is thus very well qualified to teach other people how to trade.  Russell is the sole Owner and only Principal of three different corporate entities, Raintree Futures Inc., Turtle Futures Inc., and Turtle Talk Inc., all three of which are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and two out of three of which are also members of the National Futures Association.  Russell and/or his corporate entities either individually or collectively hold all the following licenses and registrations :  Series 3 (commodities), Associated Person (AP), Introducing Broker (IB), Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), Commodity Pool Operator (CPO).

FUTURES TRADING IS RISKY AND INVOLVES RISK OF LOSS AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR PROFIT.
Do not risk money that you cannot afford to lose. This method cannot be guaranteed to make profits in the short term and past performance is no guarantee of success. The Original Turtle Trading System is a long term trading method requiring patience and discipline.
THERE IS ONE GUARANTEE WE CAN MAKE: TRADING IS HARDER THAN YOU THINK.
