The Aussie Turtles® Trend Following Guide

The Aussie Turtles® Trend Following Guide The Aussie Turtles® Trend Following Guide is a field manual for traders who want to escape the illusion of prediction and embrace the discipline of process. Written by Adam Havryliv and Richard Brennan, the book distills decades of trading experience into a practical and philosophical framework for surviving and thriving in complex markets.  When Adam and I set out to write The Aussie Turtles® Trend Following Guide, we weren’t trying to add another “how-to” trading book to the shelves. We were building something different: a field manual for outlier hunters. This is the first step in a much bigger journey — one that moves beyond prediction and toward a systematic, durable way of trading where process beats prediction every time. Why This Book? We’ve both spent years walking the path: designing systems, managing funds, enduring drawdowns, and learning that the markets don’t reward clever forecasts. They reward those who can survive long enough to catch the rare, powerful outliers that drive long-term performance. That realization shaped the core of this book. It isn’t a memoir. It isn’t a backtest showcase. And it certainly isn’t a promise of quick success. Instead, it’s a guide to cultivating the one thing every trader needs before anything else: the right mindset. Mindset Before Methods Before you can follow trends, you must unlearn the myths the market sells you: that prediction is possible, that outcomes can be engineered, and that consistency can be manufactured. Our philosophy — and the essence of this book — is simple: You don’t need to be right. You need to be ready. Process outperforms prediction. Persistence, not brilliance, is the true edge. In these pages, we dismantle the illusion of control and replace it with something far more powerful: a rules-based, reaction-driven mindset that thrives in uncertainty. Outlier Hunting: The Bigger Picture This book is just the beginning. It’s the foundation for the larger Aussie Turtles® project — one that will explore system design, portfolio construction, and the craft of catching the trades that truly move the needle. But foundations matter. Without the right philosophy, no system survives. That’s why this guide had to come first. It’s the starting point for anyone serious about walking the path of an Outlier Hunter. Click on the image below to buy your copy in kindle, paperback or hardback from Amazon. Closing thought: This book doesn’t hand you the next holy grail system. It gives you something more useful — the mindset and framework to build your own, survive the storms, and stay in the game long enough to catch the wave you didn’t see coming.
