Liquidation ≈2,599.60

Liquidation comes before your stop. At 100× you’d be liquidated near 2,599.60, before your stop at 2,586.00 is hit. Lower the leverage or move the stop.

Liquidation is only 0.5% from your entry.

Why a turtle

In 1983, two traders made a bet.

Richard Dennis believed trading could be taught. His partner William Eckhardt thought it couldn’t. So they ran an experiment.

01 · The recruits

Ordinary people

Dennis recruited a group of people with little or no trading background.

02 · The rules

Two weeks of training

He taught them a strict, rule-based system, including precise position sizing, then gave them real money.

03 · The result

Rules won

The “Turtles” went on to make a fortune by following the rules, not their gut.

“Discipline and rules beat talent and gut feel.”

The lesson of the Turtle experiment, and the idea TradeTurtle is built on. Slow and steady, with your risk rules as your shell.

Founder note

Built by a trader in Sydney.

“I kept a journal in Notion and a sizing sheet on the side, and I still broke my own risk rule when it mattered most. TradeTurtle is the tool I wanted: plan the trade, size it properly, and be honest with yourself afterwards.”
