Managed Futures
Want to take advantage of trading futures but don't know
where to start? Would you like to have the "hands-off"
ease of auto-traded systems, but you'd rather have an experienced
trader managing your account? Managed Futures might be the
trading opportunity you're looking for.

futures programs here!
Managed Futures accounts are administered by a Commodity
Trading Advisor (CTA) registered with the National Futures
Association. A CTA trades a strategy in your account,
according
to his Managed Futures program. All you have to do is open
your account and sign up with a CTA. The account is completely
managed by the CTA and BT Trading Group.
Managed futures offer an
important component of diversification to your portfolio.
Their advantages include:
-
A low correlation to equity investments (when your
equity portfolio lags in performance, this is unlikely to
impact your managed futures investement)
-
The potential to profit in both
bull and bear markets
-
Low costs relative to stock and
bond transactions
-
A high degree of leverage and
low capital requirements
-
Market and product
diversification
-
Access to global markets
-
The liquidity and effeciency of
futures markets
-
A potential hedge against
inflationary pressures
Generally these accounts require a higher initial investment
than our other trading systems. This is due to the fact that
most CTAs need more initial margin to roll your account in
and out of various positions. BT Trading Group however is
able to lower initial capital requirements to its select CTAs,
allowing investors to commit less capital and further leverage
their managed account. We offer CTAs
that range from $25,000 to $1 million initial investment
capital,
trading everything from financial futures contracts to foreign
exchange products.
