CTA

["Dr. Ralph W. Swanson" <rws@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

	There have been comments recently regarding Commodity Trading Advisors)
CTAs.  Can anyone tell me the qualifications required for CTA certification
and registration. Also, who does the certification? 
	In past posts I mentioned that I can write BS, MS, PhD and CPC behind my
name. All took years of hard work in my profession.  In the trading world
they don't mean much.  It's the experience, emotional stabiltiy, patience
and determination that carries the day for successful trading.  Plus, of
course, a unique sixth sense when applying indicators, reading and
understanding charts as well as understanding fundamentals. And this
represents harder work for me than all of the above ABCs.
	From what I understand CTAs occupy a special place in the trading world.
	Any comments?
