Turtle Jerry Parker on Systematic Trading

Trend Following | June 25th, 2009

Turtle Jerry Parker noted the other day in Chicago that his trading is 100% systematic. Not news to me or the many others familiar with trend trading, but I suspect for people not familiar with trend following that fact takes time to digest. Parker also noted how bad of a thing it was for the Turtles to make money the wrong way. He said that if they made money the wrong way they were in trouble [with Dennis].

According the Autumn Gold site, it lists Jerry Parker as 95% Systematic, 5% Discretionary. Could the 5% discretionary be the amount he allocates to other traders? Or, is Autumn Gold not reporting this correctly?

I am 99.999% sure Parker said Tuesday he was currently 100% systematic.

traders can still make plenty of money, they just won’t pay the 80 percent tax. they’ll go to other countries that understand the nature of capitalism and free markets.

> can the turtles make money paying 80% tax …

At that point, they move offshore. Its a completely viable and legal option. I’m not sure why more haven’t left the country yet.
