Overview
The featured EA, ttnFullTurtle, implements the classic Turtle Trading rules using dual breakout systems, ATR-based position sizing, and pyramiding logic. It includes risk controls for equity percentage allocation, stop losses based on volatility, and correlation limits. Other tools in the set provide strategies based on Bollinger Bands, Donchian channels, and market reversals. The documentation is minimal, and some files may rely on external dependencies.
- Dual breakout entry systems based on Turtle rules
- ATR-based position sizing and volatility stop losses
- Pyramiding logic for scaling into trending positions
