turtle system now ahead for year after rough start

[rusty]

for anybody who is interested, i can send you a recent daily equity graph of the original turtle model as programmed in tradestation. you can see that after getting off to a very rough start this year, the recent bull market in most commodities, and especially the grains, has now turned things around. although it's still all open equity, so keep your fingers crossed. thanks, russell.

p.s. i was going to cut and paste it in here, but for some reason can't seem to do so. hey, computers were never my strong point

I'm not sure how you accomplished your task bu Tradestation offered many problems in programming the original turtle rules. My bouts with metastock were even worse. please be careful.

i wish i could tell you how it's done, but i know very little about it. but i can tell you it is correct. whenever i have a problem, i ask a guy named sam tennis, who was one of the original developers of both systemwriter and tradestation for omega, and is now an independent consultant for people like you and me. i have known same for over ten years and he is very familiar with the turtle system. he won't tell you exactly what i do because of confidentiality arrangements, but if you have ideas or rules to test, he is pretty good at writing the code.
