is CTA = Call To Action when people like Eric Johnston or Bryn Talkington keep talks about it

I found the above. Is that what CTA is? those 2 are keep talking about the short selling side of the market, for e.g., Eric said "CTA is now max. long at 95% tile"

and what website shows the movement of CTA

CTA = "call to action" in marketing lingo. It also stands for commodity trading advisor. The way it's used in that sentence, I have no idea what they mean. I just checked and there is a new managed futures ETF with the ticker CTA. Maybe that's what they're referring to?

 

so in summary, when 2 different commentator on THurs at CNBC both mentioned CTA, and there is a 1 hr. gap in btwn. their interview, what are they trying to say when Eric Johnston said ""CTA is now max. long at 95% tile"

 

CTA stands for commodity trading advisor. CTAs primarily trade S&P 500 futures. They usually trade in the direction of the trend based on moving averages.

 

thanks for helping out. So why do those 2 CNBC commentator single out those CTA traders? what so special about them vs. other market maker who also buy S&P future?

this is what she said

 

CNBC is mental crewing gum for the masses.
