Turtle System Presets

Any stock, ETF, or commodity - e.g. QQQ, USO, SLV
20d = System 1, 55d = System 2
Backtest runs from this date through today
Initial equity; sizing uses equity × risk % each bar
% of account equity: Shares = (Equity × Risk %) ÷ (ATR × Multiplier)
Typical Turtle: 2
Typical Turtle value: 2× ATR
0.5 = aggressive pyramiding, 1-2 = conservative
Classic Turtle: 4 units max · each add multiplies exposure as the trend extends
0 = off · 200 = 200-day MA (longs only above MA, shorts only below)
When at max units, a new breakout signal still tightens the stop
