My guest today is Brian Proctor, an original TurtleTrader trained by Richard Dennis and Bill Eckhardt and today is a Managing Director at EMC Capital. He began his futures career in 1982, with experience at both the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade. Proctor was a participant in the renowned Turtle Program, and managed all trading operations at C&D Commodities through 2000.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Proctor’s first trading moments and the Turtle program
• Proctor’s view on Liz Cheval, what she brought to his firm, and why she’s still an integral part of EMC today
• How trend following strategies have continued to excel over the years
• Diversification and the Swiss franc
• Black swans and how the impossible can and does happen
• Bill Eckhardt’s influence
