Hi Michael,
 
You have to check with the NFA. 
As for the performance, if it's actual, you should 
put the ususal disclaimers: "Past performance is not.... future 
results".
Where it's ia little bit more tricky is that most 
CTA that do well are also CPO and it's not allowed to advertize to the general 
public for a pool (they are restricted to qualified investors). That's why you 
see advertising mostly form CTA that sell systems, newsletter etc but don't 
really manage money
