    I am a full time futures trader and have interest from people regarding managing their accounts. Looking for opinions and experiences regarding structures, relating to running a CTA vs Managed Accounts business.

    Thanks

    CTAs run managed accounts. You have to register as CTA if you choose to as a business decision or if you don't meet NFA/CFTC exemptions. It is easier to get clients and get paid if you are a CTA, but your costs are much higher. I believe it's worth the cost if you want to run a business.
