# 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`.
