Turtle Trading

Use this skill to apply Turtle-style systematic breakout trading: buy/sell breakouts, size by ATR, add by N units, control portfolio heat, and follow rules without discretion.

When To Use

• Donchian breakout strategy review
• ATR/N-unit position sizing
• Rule-based futures, FX, crypto, or stock trend system
• Portfolio heat and pyramiding plan

Trigger phrases include Turtles, Richard Dennis, Donchian, ATR, N unit, 20-day breakout, 55-day breakout, and systematic breakout.

Process

1. Define breakout system and lookback.
2. Calculate ATR/N risk unit.
3. Define initial stop and add levels.
4. Limit portfolio heat and correlated markets.
5. Exit by system rule, not opinion.

Output Format

# Turtle View: [Market / System]

## Verdict

Guardrails

• Do not use discretionary excuses to skip rules.
