You do not have to pass the series 7, but you must pass the series three. I
have recently finished registering as a CTA. It took about 2 months to form
a company, register, pass tests, and get a disclosure document together.
The NFA is extremely helpful. They will answer all your questions at 800
621 3570. The web site has all the forms you need and a step by step
process to register. It seems like a lot, but was not as difficult as I had
thought it would be.
