About this listen
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.

Recently, I've purchased two more (audio) books from Cove, where one is The Compete Turtle Trader. There are some overlapping materials with Trend Following, but I don't mind it especially because I feel like I need repetition, so the thoughts can settle in my mind (I also listen to the books on 1.2x speed). The only issue is that some part of the book require you to read the pdf-supplemnet/have it available.
That forced me to rewind some parts of the chapter 5 several times until I actually could visualize the content (usually I'm on the move while listening, so I can't follow the pdf). I believe it made me think through it and understand the logic of trend following on the deeper level.
I still haven't finished the whole book, but so far I'll give it 5 for performance and story but 4 for overall due to some parts not really suitable for audio format, though I would recommend it anyhow for people that spend a lot of time in public transport, on the run and don't have so much time to spare on reading.
Great book about Trend Following & Turtle history

On occasion it descended into just the montone reading of lists of numbers, which I rapidly found myself zoning out, then missed the beginning of meaningful content and had to skip back.
The only slight annoyance were the interruptions of the author - his material was interesting but delivered as a marketing spiel, we've already bought the book, we don't need to be constantly preached at.
Entertaining and well read story.
