Richard Dennis (trader)

Richard Dennis was a successful professional trader known for pioneering trend-following strategies. In the 1980s, he believed anyone could learn to trade profitably with proper training. To prove this, he started a famous experiment called the "Turtle Trading Program," where he trained a group of people with no prior experience, and many became excellent traders. Dennis’s approach focused on identifying and following market trends using specific rules, allowing him to generate substantial profits. His work highlighted the importance of disciplined strategy and systematic rules in trading, influencing modern quantitative and trend-following methods.
