BarclayHedge, recognized managed futures industry leaders at the
fifth annual Managed Futures Pinnacle Awards last night.
The winners of this year's Pinnacle Achievement Award are
Richard Dennis, independent trader,
and William Eckhardt, Chairman and
CEO of Eckhardt Trading Company. In the mid-1980s, Dennis and
Eckhardt developed trading systems and techniques which they taught
to groups of beginning traders, known as the "Turtle Traders".

skill that can be taught, and their influential research and
teachings have had an enormous impact on the broader financial
services industry.
