CTA referrals

Can anyone refer CTAs with a positive three year track record and low minimum investment of $10k ?
Open to any management styles considered for right now.

Thanks everyone

I don't have one for $10,000. However there is a really good CTA with a min. of $25,000. Check out www.TMStrade.com.

I hope this helps.

Does anyone have a list of CTA websites...?

Not that this is comprehensive, obvious www.iasg.com is the site you would want to peruse, but this site gives you some more detailed information on the various CTA programs.

Why do you need a 3 year track record. What does a 3tr prove?

Institutional investors usually require a current 3-year track record, with the same key personnel and organizational structure.

Although the $10K part doesn't sound like any institutional investor...

3y track record proves NOTHING! It just gives investors "false comfort" which they naiively crave.
