CTA Introduction
J.D Turner Capital’s "Diversified Trend Following Strategy" seeks to combine traditional and modern trend following to find stronger trends and weaker correlation. The methodology offers market-neutral exposure to a broad market of commodities, interest rate, currency, and stock index futures within 17 traded markets.

Australian Dollar Futures, British Pound Futures, Euro FX Futures, Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Live Cattle, Feeder Cattle, Lean Hogs, Russell 2000 Index, S&P 500 Index, Gold, Silver, 2 Year U.S Treasury Note, 5 Year U.S Treasury Note
