CTAs explained
So as far as I understand Commodity Trading Advisers (CTAs) don't necessarily have to focus on commodities? They are just HFs that trade futures - is that right?
Wikipedia / investopedia definitions are a bit all over the place, can someone please explain what are the defining features of CTAs (systematic approach as far as I understood) and what is commonly meant by a "CTA" in the HF world?
Also is CTA synonymous with a "managed futures" HF?

cool thanks - and I'm guessing trend following is all about computerized models? which is the same as systematic no?

double post
OP, there are plenty of discretionary CTAs as well.
oh wait so CTA can be discretionary?
So CTAs are just guys that trade futures / options on anything from commodities to currencies? That is it?
yup, pretty much. they are those who are completely married to a system and those who are not (discretionary)
oh and you also left out equity futures :)
