I had not heard that Mr. Dennis passed away; however, as of last year he
had the top performing CTA over the past five years. He certainly was
still trading and his past students all populate the top CTA rankings based
on compound return over various time frames. He did have a fund suffer a
50% drawdown in the early 90s. Nevertheless, his methods are one of the
few that have consistently been profitable and easily teachable and
learnable. In fact long term trend following systems dominate the world of
futures trading.
