Quote from JPope:
You don't need a sponsor to take the test, but you do need a broker to hold your registration it if you intend to use it...
I do not think that is true
To become a CTA you:
Pass the Series 3 exam
Join the National Futures Association ("NFA") as a CTA
Submit your Disclosure Document to the NFA/CFTC for registration
You can study for the Series 3 exam while your application forms are being created and processed -- but your registration isn't complete until you finish all steps and show proof of passing the Series 3 exam.
Series 3 National Commodity Futures Exam

This is true. But it costs around $1300 to get registered as a CTA (last time I checked)
