Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	1. Organization: Ceres Tactical Global L.P. (formerly, Ceres Tactical Currency L.P.) (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1999 to engage primarily in the speculative trading of futures contracts, options on futures and forward contracts, and forward contracts on physical commodities and other commodity interests, including, but not limited to, foreign currencies, financial instruments, metals, energy, and agricultural products (collectively, “Futures Interests”) (refer to Note 4, “Financial Instruments”). The Futures Interests that are traded by the Partnership, either directly, through individually managed accounts, or indirectly, through its investment in the Master Funds (as defined below), are volatile and involve a high degree of market risk. The General Partner (as defined below) may also determine to invest up to all of the Partnership’s assets in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury bills and/or money market mutual funds, including money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates. Prior to the close of business on December 31, 2017, the Partnership was one of the Morgan Stanley Spectrum series of funds, comprised of the Partnership, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Select L.P., Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Strategic L.P. and, prior to its termination on December 31, 2017, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Spectrum Technical L.P. Ceres Managed Futures LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, acts as the general partner (“Ceres” or the “General Partner”) and commodity pool operator of the Partnership, and as the commodity pool operator and general partner or trading manager (in such capacity, the “Trading Manager”) of each Master Fund (as defined below). Ceres is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley Domestic Holdings, Inc. (“MSD Holdings”). MSD Holdings is ultimately owned by Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is a publicly held company whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan Stanley is engaged in various financial services and other businesses. During the reporting periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Partnership’s and the Master Funds’ commodity broker was Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“MS&Co.”), a registered futures commission merchant. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) may also act as a foreign exchange forward or swap counterparty for the Partnership/Master Funds. During prior periods included in this report, the Partnership and the Master Funds also deposited a portion of their cash in a non-trading account at JPMorgan. As of September 30, 2018, all trading decisions were made for the Partnership by AE Capital PTY Limited (“AE Capital”), P/E Global LLC (“P/E Global”), Greenwave Capital Management LLC (“Greenwave”) and The Cambridge Strategy (Asset Management) Limited (“Cambridge”) (each individually, a “Trading Advisor” or collectively, the “Trading Advisors”), each of which is a registered commodity trading advisor. Each Trading Advisor is allocated a portion of the Partnership’s assets to manage. AE Capital and Cambridge manage the assets of the Partnership through the Partnership’s investment in CMF AE Capital Master Fund LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AE Capital Master Fund”) and Cambridge Master Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Cambridge Master Fund” and collectively with AE Capital Master Fund the “Master Funds”), respectively, each of which is an affiliated fund. P/E Global and Greenwave each manage the assets of the Partnership directly through managed accounts in the Partnership’s name. The Trading Advisors are not affiliated with one another, the General Partner or MS&Co., and are not responsible for the organization or operation of the Partnership. AE Capital Master Fund and Cambridge Master Fund have each entered into a futures brokerage account agreement with MS&Co. AE Capital Master Fund and Cambridge Master Fund have also each entered into a foreign exchange prime brokerage agreement with MS&Co. The Partnership has also entered into a futures brokerage account agreement and a foreign exchange prime brokerage agreement with MS&Co. Pursuant to these agreements, the Partnership, directly or through its investment in the Master Funds, pays MS&Co. (or will reimburse MS&Co. if previously paid) its allocable share of all trading fees for the clearing and, where applicable, execution of transactions as well as exchange, clearing, user, give-up, floor brokerage and National Futures Association fees (collectively, the “Clearing fees”). As of January 1, 2018, units of limited partnership interest (“Unit(s)”) of the Partnership are being offered in two classes (each, a “Class” or collectively, the “Classes”): Class A Units and Class Z Units. Class A Units and Class Z Units are identical, except that Class Z Units are not subject to the monthly ongoing placement agent fee. All Units issued prior to January 1, 2018 were deemed “Class A Units.” The rights, liabilities, risks, and fees associated with investment in the Class A Units were not changed. Class Z Units are offered to limited partners who receive advisory services from Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and may also be offered to certain employees of Morgan Stanley and/or its subsidiaries (and their family members). Class Z Units were first issued on April 1, 2018. In July 2015, the General Partner delegated certain administrative functions to SS&C Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, currently doing business as SS&C GlobeOp (the “Administrator”). Pursuant to a master services agreement, the Administrator furnishes certain administrative, accounting, regulatory reporting, tax and other services as agreed from time to time. In addition, the Administrator maintains certain books and records of the Partnership. Effective January 1, 2018, the General Partner pays or reimburses the Partnership, from the General Partner fee it receives from the Partnership, the ordinary administrative expenses of the Partnership, to the extent these expenses exceed 0.85% annually of the net assets of the Partnership. This includes the expenses related to the engagement of the Administrator. Prior to January 1, 2018, the General Partner fully reimbursed the Partnership for these expenses.

The above ratios and total return may vary for individual investors based on the timing of capital transactions during the period. Additionally, these ratios are calculated for the limited partner Classes using the limited partners’ share of income, expenses and average limited partners’ capital of the Partnership, and include the income and expenses allocated from the Master Fund(s).

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2018
Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
Financial Instruments	4. Financial Instruments: The Partnership and the Master Funds trade Futures Interests. Futures and forwards represent contracts for delayed delivery of an instrument at a specified date and price. Futures Interests are open commitments until the settlement date, at which time they are realized. They are valued at fair value, generally on a daily basis, and the unrealized gains and losses on open contracts (the difference between contract trade price and market price) are reported in the Statements of Financial Condition as a net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open futures contracts or net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on open forward contracts. The resulting net change in unrealized gains and losses is reflected in “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts” and “Net change in unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts allocated from the Master Funds” from one period to the next in the Statements of Income and Expenses. The Partnership’s/Master Funds’ contracts are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated and are determined using the first-in, first-out method. Risk arises from changes in the value of these contracts and the potential inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts. There are numerous factors which may significantly influence the fair value of these contracts, including interest rate volatility. The fair value of an exchange-traded contract is based on the settlement price quoted by the exchange on the day with respect to which fair value is being determined. If an exchange-traded contract could not have been liquidated on such day due to the operation of daily limits or other rules of the exchange, the settlement price will be equal to the settlement price on the first subsequent day on which the contract could be liquidated. In general, the risks associated with non-exchange traded contracts are greater than those associated with exchange-traded contracts because of the greater risk of default by the counterparty to a non-exchange traded contract. The Partnership and the Master Funds have credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance. As of the date of the financial statements, the credit risk associated with the instruments in which the Partnership and the Master Funds trade is limited to the unrealized gain (loss) amounts reflected in the Partnership’s/Master Funds’ Statements of Financial Condition. The net unrealized gains (losses) on open contracts are further disclosed gross by type of contract and corresponding fair value level in Note 6, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Partnership also has credit risk because MS&Co. acts as the commodity futures broker, or the counterparty, with respect to most of the Partnership’s assets. Exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded forward contracts are fair valued on a daily basis, with variations in value settled on a daily basis. With respect to the Partnership’s non-exchange traded forward currency contracts and forward currency option contracts, there are no daily settlements of variation in value, nor is there any requirement that an amount equal to the net unrealized gains (losses) on such contracts be segregated. However, the Partnership is required to meet margin requirements equal to the net unrealized loss on open forward currency contracts in the Partnership’s accounts with the counterparty, which is accomplished by daily maintenance of the cash balance in a custody account held at MS&Co., for the benefit of MS&Co. With respect to those non-exchange traded forward currency contracts, the Partnership is at risk to the ability of MS&Co., the sole counterparty on all such contracts, to perform. The Partnership has a netting agreement with the counterparty. The primary terms are based on industry standard master netting agreements. This agreement, which seeks to reduce both the Partnership’s and the counterparty’s exposure on non-exchange traded forward currency contracts, should materially decrease the Partnership’s credit risk in the event of MS&Co.’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The General Partner monitors and attempts to mitigate the Partnership’s/Master Funds’ risk exposure on a daily basis through financial, credit and risk management monitoring systems, and, accordingly, believes that it has effective procedures for evaluating and limiting the credit and market risks to which the Partnership/Master Funds may be subject. These monitoring systems generally allow the General Partner to statistically analyze actual trading results with risk adjusted performance indicators and correlation statistics. In addition, online monitoring systems provide account analysis of futures and forward contracts by sector, margin requirements, gain and loss transactions and collateral positions. The U.S. Treasury bills and Futures Interests traded by the Partnership and the Master Funds involve varying degrees of related market risk. Market risk is often dependent upon changes in the level or volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, and prices of financial instruments and commodities, factors that result in frequent changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s open positions, and consequently in its earnings, whether realized or unrealized, and cash flow. Gains and losses on open positions of exchange-traded futures, exchange-traded forward, and exchange-traded futures-styled option contracts are settled daily through variation margin. Gains and losses on non-exchange traded forward currency contracts are settled upon termination of the contract. Gains and losses on non-exchange traded forward currency option contracts are settled on an agreed-upon settlement date. In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership and the Master Funds enter into contracts and agreements that contain various representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Partnership’s/Master Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be determined, as this could include future claims that have not yet been made against the Partnership/Master Funds. The Partnership and the Master Funds consider the risk of any future obligation relating to these indemnifications to be remote.

Trading Activities	5. Trading Activities: The Partnership’s objective is to profit from speculative trading in Futures Interests. Therefore, the Trading Advisors for the Partnership will take speculative positions in Futures Interests where it feels the best profit opportunities exist for its trading strategies. As such, the average number of contracts outstanding in absolute quantities (the total of the open long and open short positions) has been presented as a part of the volume disclosure, as position direction is not an indicative factor in such volume disclosures. With regard to foreign currency forward trades, each notional quantity amount has been converted to an equivalent contract based upon an industry convention. All of the Futures Interests owned directly by the Partnership are held for trading purposes. All of the Futures Interests owned by the Master Funds are held for trading purposes. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded directly by the Partnership during the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 36. The monthly average number of futures contracts traded directly by the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 45. There were no direct investments at September 30, 2017. The following table summarizes the gross and net amounts recognized relating to assets and liabilities of the Partnership’s derivative instruments and transactions eligible for offset subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements as of September 30, 2018.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	6. Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is defined as the value that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to fair values derived from unobservable inputs (Level 3). The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value of exchange-traded futures, options and forward contracts is determined by the various futures exchanges, and reflects the settlement price for each contract as of the close of business on the last business day of the reporting period. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is extrapolated on a forward basis from the spot prices quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period from various exchanges. The fair value of non-exchange-traded foreign currency option contracts is calculated by applying an industry standard model application for options valuation of foreign currency options, using as input the spot prices, interest rates, and option implied volatilities quoted as of approximately 3:00 P.M. (E.T.) on the last business day of the reporting period. U.S. Treasury bills are valued at the last available bid price received from independent pricing services as of the close of the last business day of the reporting period. The Partnership and the Master Funds consider prices for commodity futures, swap and option contracts to be based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1). The values of U.S. Treasury bills, non-exchange-traded forward, swap and certain option contracts for which market quotations are not readily available are priced by pricing services that derive fair values for those assets and liabilities from observable inputs (Level 2). As of September 30, 2018 and for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Partnership and the Master Funds did not hold any derivative instruments that were priced at fair value using unobservable inputs through the application of the General Partner’s assumptions and internal valuation pricing models (Level 3).

Investment in the Master Funds	7. Investment in the Master Funds: On November 1, 2012, the Partnership allocated a portion of its assets to Cambridge for trading through investment in Cambridge Master Fund, a limited partnership organized under the partnership laws of the State of Delaware. Cambridge Master Fund permits accounts managed now and in the future by Cambridge using Cambridge Asian Markets Alpha Programme and, from October 1, 2013, Cambridge Emerging Markets Alpha Programme, each a proprietary, systematic trading program, to invest together in one trading vehicle. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by Cambridge, including the Partnership, are permitted to be limited partners of Cambridge Master Fund. The General Partner and Cambridge believe that trading through this master/feeder structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. The General Partner and Cambridge agreed that Cambridge will trade the Partnership’s assets allocated to Cambridge at a level that is up to 1.5 times the amount of assets allocated. The amount of leverage may be increased or decreased in the future. However, in no event will the amount of leverage be greater than 2 times the amount of assets allocated. On or about February 1, 2018, the Partnership allocated a portion of its assets to AE Capital for trading through investment in AE Capital Master Fund, a Delaware limited liability company. AE Capital Master Fund permits accounts managed by AE Capital using its AE Systematic FX Fund Program, a proprietary, discretionary trading system, to invest together in one trading vehicle. Individual and pooled accounts currently managed by AE Capital, including the Partnership, are permitted to be limited partners of AE Capital Master Fund. The General Partner and AE Capital believe that trading through this master/feeder structure promotes efficiency and economy in the trading process. The General Partner is not aware of any material changes to any of the trading programs discussed above during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Master Funds’ and the Partnership’s trading of Futures Interests is done primarily on U.S. and foreign commodity exchanges. The Master Funds and the Partnership engage in such trading through commodity brokerage accounts maintained with MS&Co. Generally, a limited partner/member in a Master Fund withdraws all or part of its capital contribution and undistributed profits, if any, from the Master Fund as of the end of any month (the “Redemption Date”) after a request has been made to the General Partner/Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the Redemption Date. Such withdrawals are classified as a liability when the limited partner/member elects to redeem and informs the Master Fund. However, for each Master Fund a limited partner/member may request a withdrawal as of the end of any day if such request is received by the General Partner/Trading Manager at least three days in advance of the proposed withdrawal day. Management fees, ongoing placement agent fees, General Partner fees and incentive fees are charged at the Partnership level. Clearing fees are borne by the Master Funds and allocated to the Master Funds’ limited partners/members, including the Partnership. Effective January 1, 2018, Clearing fees are also borne by the Partnership directly. Professional fees are borne by the Master Funds and allocated to the Partnership, and effective January 1, 2018, also charged directly at the Partnership level. Effective January 1, 2018, the General Partner reimburses the Partnership for Clearing fees and professional fees to the extent that these fees exceed 0.85% annually of the net assets of the Partnership. As of September 30, 2018, the Partnership owned approximately 1.1% and 7.3% of Cambridge Master Fund and AE Capital Master Fund, respectively. Prior to the close of business on December 31, 2017, the Partnership owned approximately 22.9% of Cambridge Master Fund. It is the Partnership’s intention to continue to invest in the Master Funds. The performance of the Partnership is directly affected by the performance of the Master Funds. Expenses to investors as a result of the investment in the Master Funds are approximately the same as they would be if the Partnership traded directly and the redemption rights are not affected. Summarized information reflecting the total assets, liabilities and partners’/members’ capital of the Master Funds is shown in the following tables: September 30, 2018 Total Assets Total Liabilities Total Capital Cambridge Master Fund $ 29,721,311 $ 3,245,790 $ 26,475,521 AE Capital Master Fund 23,496,945 629,767 22,867,178 December 31, 2017 Total Assets Total Liabilities Total Capital Cambridge Master Fund $ 31,063,463 $ 4,384,639 $ 26,678,824 Summarized information reflecting the Partnership’s investment in and the Partnership’s pro-rata share of the results of operations of the Master Funds is shown in the following tables: September 30, 2018 For the three months ended September 30, 2018 % of Partners’ Capital Fair Value Income (Loss) Expenses Net Income (Loss) Master Funds Clearing Fees Professional Fees Investment Objective Redemptions Permitted Cambridge Master Fund 5.4% $ 289,981 $ (33,790) $ 219 $ 164 $ (34,173) Commodity Monthly AE Capital Master Fund 31.4% 1,678,466 (42,605) 2,462 1,430 (46,497) Commodity Monthly Total $ 1,968,447 $ (76,395) $ 2,681 $ 1,594 $ (80,670) September 30, 2018 For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 % of Partners’ Capital Fair Value Expenses Net Income (Loss) Master Funds Income (Loss) Clearing Fees Professional Fees Investment Objective Redemptions Permitted Cambridge Master Fund 5.4% $ 289,981 $ 73,877 $ 778 $ 826 $ 72,273 Commodity Monthly AE Capital Master Fund (1) 31.4% 1,678,466 (105,613) 5,805 4,185 (115,603) Commodity Portfolio Monthly Total $ 1,968,447 $ (31,736) $ 6,583 $ 5,011 $ (43,330) December 31, 2017 For the three months ended September 30, 2017 % of Partners’ Capital Fair Value Expenses Net Income (Loss) Master Funds Income (Loss) Clearing Fees Professional Fees Investment Objective Redemptions Cambridge Master Fund 100.0% $ 6,430,471 $ (380,332) $ - $ - $ (380,332) Commodity Monthly Total $ 6,430,471 $ (380,332) $ - $ - $ (380,332) December 31, 2017 For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 % of Partners’ Capital Fair Value Expenses Net Income (Loss) Master Funds Income (Loss) Clearing Fees Professional Fees Investment Objective Redemptions Permitted Cambridge Master Fund 100.0% $ 6,430,471 $ 664,225 $ - $ - $ 664,225 Commodity Monthly Total $ 6,430,471 $ 664,225 $ - $ - $ 664,225 (1) From February 1, 2018, the date the Partnership invested into AE Capital Master Fund, through September 30, 2018.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	8. Subsequent Events: The General Partner evaluates events that occur after the balance sheet date but before and up until financial statements are available to be issued. The General Partner has assessed the subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that, other than that described below, there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements. Effective October 1, 2018, the Partnership, the General Partner, Cambridge, and Mesirow Financial International UK Limited (“Mesirow”), entered into a novation, assignment and assumption agreement, dated September 28, 2018, pursuant to which Cambridge transfers all of its future rights, obligations, and liabilities under that certain amended and restated management agreement, by and among the General Partner, the Partnership and Cambridge, dated as of October 22, 2012, as previously amended as of October 23, 2012, October 1, 2013, and January 1, 2018 (collectively, the “Initial Advisory Agreement”), to Mesirow. As of and after October 1, 2018, Mesirow has undertaken to perform the Initial Advisory Agreement and be bound by its terms in every way as if it were the original party to it in place of Cambridge. On October 10, 2018, Cambridge, Mesirow, the Cambridge Master Fund and JPMorgan entered into an amendment and assignment agreement, dated October 10, 2018 (the “Assignment Agreement”), effective as of October 1, 2018, to the Foreign Exchange and Bullion Authorization Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2017 (the “FXBAA”), pursuant to which Cambridge assigned to Mesirow all of its rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under and in respect of the FXBAA, Mesirow accepted such assignment and assumed all rights, liabilities, duties and obligations under and in respect of the FXBAA, and JPMorgan consented to such assignment and assumption.

Pursuant to the ISDA Amendment, all references to Cambridge were replaced by references to Mesirow. Effective October 10, 2018, the Partnership changed its name from Ceres Tactical Currency L.P. to Ceres Tactical Global L.P. As of November 1, 2018, the Partnership entered into an alternative investment selling agent agreement (the “Harbor Selling Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, the General Partner, Morgan Stanley Distribution Inc., and Harbor Investment Advisory, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Harbor”). Pursuant to the Harbor Selling Agreement, MSDI and Harbor have been appointed as a non-exclusive selling agent and sub-selling agent, respectively, of the Partnership for the purpose of finding eligible investors for Units through offerings that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and for Harbor to serve as an investment advisor to its customers investing in one or more of the partnerships party to the Harbor Selling Agreement; provided, that, included within such appointment, Harbor will provide certain services to certain holders of Units of the Partnership, who had acquired such Units prior to such holders becoming clients of Harbor. The Harbor Selling Agreement continues in effect until September 30, 2019 unless terminated in certain circumstances as set forth in the Harbor Selling Agreement, including by any party on thirty days’ prior written notice, after which the General Partner or the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, renew the Harbor Selling Agreement for additional one year periods.
