This story is about a famous experiment in 1983, when trading legend Richard Dennis wanted to prove anyone could learn to trade so he taught a group of people who had never traded before then set them off to trade - the result? They made $100 million in 4 years. There is a lot you can learn from this story and use in your own forex education.
The turtle experiment proved ANYONE can become a successful trader, with the right Forex education and everything about trading can be specifically learned by anyone with the desire to succeed.
This is Of course true - but still 95% of traders lose their money and the turtle experiment can give you an insight into why and how you can enjoy currency trading success.
The Experiment
The people Dennis selected represented a variety of different people of all ages, both sexes and from all walks of life including:
An actor, security guard, a couple of professional card players, an auditor, a boy fresh from school and a female exchange clerk - so a diverse group of people!
They then went on to make annualized 70% returns and make $100 million and many went on to become trading legends.
Dennis taught a Trend Following simple trading methodology - but also the confidence and the discipline to follow it through periods of drawdown, to long term currency trading success.
What You Can learn
The reason most forex traders fail is simply they cannot adopt the right mindset to succeed. Having a sound method is only part of the equation for success - you must have the confidence and the discipline to follow your system through draw down periods to win longer term.
If you can't follow your method with discipline, you really have no method at all.
Dennis proved that a simple system that traders could understand, applied with discipline, could lead anyone to success and he was proved right.
This logic of course still applies today.
The way to make money in forex trading is based upon the following:
A Simple Logical Method + Understanding of It = Confidence = Discipline = Forex Success.
Most traders however use methods that are not logical with good examples being day trading or scientific methods, or they follow someone else.
Of course if you use a method that's not logical you stand no chance but if you try and follow someone else without believing or testing their logic you will fail as well.
You are going to get losses (don't let anyone tell you won't) and its here the correct mindset is so important your discipline is based on confidence and you need this to stick with your method.
Discipline is vital to success and this is based upon inner knowledge and understanding.
The turtle experiment is part of trading history, the story should act as inspiration to anyone who wants to learn currency trading and enjoy currency trading success. It imspired me to start my trading career 25 years ago and has inspired countless traders over the years, as it shows that anyone has the oportunity to achieve success if they learn the right knoweledge.
If you understand the above then you to could become a successful trader and make the income you desire from trading global forex markets.

Why You Should Invest
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009You also cannot count on the social security system to do what you expect it to do. As we have seen with Enron, you also cannot necessarily depend on your company’s retirement plan either. So, again, investing is the key to insuring your own financial future, but you must make smart investments!
What Is Your Investment Style?
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009Again, determining what style of investing you will use will be determined by your financial goals and your risk tolerance. No matter what type of investing you do, however, you should carefully research that investment. Never invest without having all of the facts!
Understanding Bonds
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009Purchasing directly through the Government isn’t nearly as hard as it once was. There is a program called Treasury Direct which will allow you to purchase bonds and all of your bonds will be held in one account, that you will have easy access to. This will allow you to avoid using a broker or brokerage firm.
The Importance of Diversification
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009Experts also suggest that you spread your investment money evenly among your investments. In other words, if you start with $100,000 to invest, invest $25,000 in stocks, $25,000 in real property, $25,000 in bonds, and put $25,000 in an interest bearing savings account.
Stabilize Your Current Situation Before You Invest
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009This way, when you are in a financially sound situation, you will be armed with the knowledge that you need to make equally sound investments in your future.
Long Term Investments for the Future
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009The important thing is to do your research before investing your money for long term gain. When purchasing stocks you should choose stocks that are well established. When you look for a mutual fund to invest in, choose a broker that is well established and has a proven track record. If you aren’t quite ready to take the risks involved with mutual funds or stocks, at the very least invest in bonds that are guaranteed by the Government.
Investment Strategy
By: Sutikno Slamet | 28/11/2009Never invest money without having a goal and a strategy for reaching that goal! This is essential. Nobody hands their money over to anyone without knowing what that money is being used for and when they will get it back! If you don’t have a goal, a plan, or a strategy, that is essentially what you are doing! Always start with a goal and a strategy for reaching that goal!
