Thanks.

I do not have access to BarClays because I do not make enough money and did not want to lie about it.

I was just interested in how 141 is doing in comparison to others. Thus, the 15.56% is good if everyone else in reporting losses. However, if everyone else was showing amazing returns for example, then 141 might not be as impressive, but consistent with their returns. As you stated, 141 appears to be proving consistent returns in different markets. ;-)

Thanks again

I have no idea how often it has to be emphasized here that it doesn't matter at all where the general stock market goes when it comes to any performance numbers of 141 and most other CTA's.

I'm not sure why some here still ask the question why CTA's can do worse in march than in february if in fact march was much better overall in the market.

For the 10th time. First of all 141 is not even trading the general stock market in any way. They are trading grain futures right? Second even if they did they can go long or short, just as they want so why would it be an advantage or disadvantage where the market goes? The only thing they have to get right is the direction. Same goes for other CTA's.

They are NO index trading funds ok?? They trade any direction and any future. It's 100% unimportant in which direction the market goes in any given month.
