Go beyond theoretical CTA signals
Real CTA positioning, modeled like real managed futures strategies.

Built by traders, for traders, our 24 systematic strategies incorporate the entry, exit, sizing, stop and re-entry logic of real-world CTA programs, helping you understand where CTAs may be positioned, how that positioning could shift and what it could mean for market flows.
Trusted by over 10,000 organisations worldwide
