  1. Does any CTA use IB to trade managed future accounts (client sub-account)?

    If you do, some questions for you:

    1. Do you consider the interest earned in such managed account as part of your CTA performance?

    2. In IB, the client sub-account has two accounts: (a) one is an security account governed by SEC (b) another is a future account governed by CFTC/NFA. Can you count the interest earned in security account as part of your CTA performance?

    3. In IB account statement, do they separate such the accounts (security account & future account)?

    4. If not, how do you separate for CTA performance calculation?

    Any inputs are appreciated! Thanks.
