[spartacus1]

Spartacus1 here...long time reader, first time poster:
below is the code for LBR's Turtle Soup...well I hope it is...would someone
with nothing better to do like to check it out and critique it please...
thanks

I have no idea about your code but I would point out that the Turtle Soup system was published in 1995 and was a method for fading the trading of the Turtles who were thought to buy at 20 day highs and sell at 20 day lows. There is almost certainly no trend follower doing that anymore. However, that in itself doesn't mean it won't work.

Good luck,

Tom.
