✨The Turtle Traders strategy rules: desiretotrade.tv/turtle-traders-strategy?sc=y&id=133

In this video, Etienne takes the famous Turtle Trader strategy and runs a real backtest on gold rather than assuming the old rules still work today. Along the way, the results get uncomfortable, and he shares what the test revealed about risk, drawdown, and why backtesting can save you from learning an expensive lesson.
