Traders Association membership drive. Please join us, we need your help Reply Quote
Seems it's a useless certification or license.
Am I wrong?
I definitely do not think it is worthless. In the United States
associations or lobbyists can get more things completed
than an individual can.

One of the very few ways americans stand up to the usa government is by joining together. Greentrader is starting a Traders Association and I have joined it. I do suggest the traders in the USA take this serious. If you are interested in doing something about this see the info in my first post or you can get more information on it here TRADERS ASSOCIATION

Conference Call Today - Reminder
For Traders Association members and non-members too.

Dial 312-878-0224, Access Code: 603-682-315
Podcasts available to Traders Association members-only.
Initial focus for conference call:
New CFTC forex trading rules were released on Aug. 30.

Aug 31 10 - New CFTC forex trading rules call for 50:1 leverage.
Forbes version.
Other issues to be discussed:
Financial-transaction tax.
This dreaded tax proposal for traders won't go away in the U.S. or in the EU and other G-20 areas too. Congress is sponsoring new bills including this tax, the unions are still pushing for it and many in the EU want to have an EU-tax based on this punitive tax. Our Traders Association needs to keep fighting off these proposals.
Trader Tax.
Many traders are finishing up 2009 tax returns due Sept. 15th (entities) and Oct. 15th (individuals). Others are working on tax planning for 2010. The Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire at year-end 2010, and Congress seems deadlocked on further major tax changes, including extension of Bush and other tax cuts. How should traders proceed? Join our call to get answers to your tax questions.

Includes video with Green's unedited notes made for this call.
We received several very nice complements about this conference call and we highly-recommend all forex traders, managers, IBs, dealers and other players listen to this podcast. Our Aug. 12, 2010 one too.
This issue is too important to provide to Traders Association members-only, so for a limited time it's in our public view area too. As I explain on the podcast up front, grass-roots advocacy by our Traders Association and others helped soften the final rules. It really pays for us all to keep fighting together in our Traders Association. Please join our Traders Association.
Kindly also forward this email to people you know who are involved with forex, and on message boards, facebook , twitter , other social media.

Hello everyone,
Our elected officials in Congress could ruin trading in the financial markets for USA Citizens. For example, take a look at the below email that I have copied and pasted.
Traders Association
We greatly appreciate your support in joining our Traders Association by paying $50. This is a business deduction for business traders because it's an ordinary and necessary expense for operating your business. For investors, this is considered an investment expense. (It's not a charitable deduction, which is not as good a deduction as a business expense anyway.)
Traders Association - Annual Membership
*We greatly appreciate if you wish to support us more by changing the cart to 2 or more times, and then click Check Out. Thank you very much! $50 add-to-cart-yellow-short.gif
Membership dues will be used entirely to support the Traders Association campaign efforts.
Why you should join us:
Our Traders Association needs to be involved with the tax and regulatory changes coming out of Washington D.C. The Bush tax cuts are expiring and members of Congress are fiercely debating who to extend these tax cuts for, and they want to extend many other tax breaks too. A lot of tax policy is in play and traders don't want to be the ones paying more taxes while others receive tax breaks, as recently happened with new taxes on investment income in the health-care reform bill. Many in the administration and Congress are demonizing traders and the financial markets, calling the markets "casino capitalism." Are lower 60/40 tax rates on futures and electing forex sustainable? Can most trading gains remain exempt from Medicare taxes? Is the qualifying dividend tax rate going back to higher ordinary rates? Is trader tax status sustainable? Can investment managers continue to fend off attempts by Congress to repeal carried-interest and S-Corp SE tax breaks? Is Congress going to warm up to a financial-transaction tax, which could put traders out of business? There are many questions swirling around, and we need to be a player in the game in order to get answers.
Regulators like the SEC and CFTC are charged with interpreting the significant Dodd-Frank Fin Reg Bill. Our Traders Association needs to contribute to the discussion so we don't wind up with the short-end of the stick - like draconian 10:1 leverage on forex. $50 is a small price to pay to show your support and join our cause. While many traders may be small in the eyes of Congress and the IRS, we can have a respectable footprint by joining forces. It's the same concept with unions - individual workers have little clout but unions are frequent visitors to the White House. By the way, unions are attacking traders too in their support of a financial-transaction tax.
Membership Benefits:
* Discounts on selective GreenTrader guides and services, including a $25 discount on initial 30-minute consultations, $50 discount on entity formation services, and $10 on guides, applicable on promotional or regular prices. Access these offers inside our Traders Association login section.

It's beneficial for members to have exclusive access to Robert Green right before tax deadlines, as well as throughout the year.
* Full access to podcasts and Webcasts. We continue to offer free conference calls for everyone (including non-members), but the public has limited access to prior podcast recordings.
Upon purchasing a membership to our association, you will receive a PDF file containing a user name and password for the "Members-Only" area, which grants access to our complete library of podcast recordings and more.
Mission:
The GreenTraderTax Traders Association's goal is to defend the tax, regulatory and business interests of our clients in the trading industry, including small-business retail traders, proprietary traders, investment-management businesses and ancillary businesses in the trading industry. Large brokerage firms, banks and hedge funds, as well as mutual funds and insurance companies all have their own large associations. Although these big groups share some interests with the small trader, they mainly focus on other issues and rarely fight for small-business traders. Our Traders Association is a business trade association, not to be confused with a not-for-profit or charitable organization. Robert A. Green and others write commentary on the Internet and blogs and speak in Podcasts, Webcasts, to the media and at trade shows and events to promote traders' interests and fight off attacks on our industry from Congress, the IRS, the media and others. We've been successful to date in fighting off the financial-transaction tax. Every article on the tax in any media throughout the world is flooded with our group's replies on how it's a bad idea. We craft and sign Petitions to Congress and fight each attempt against us on a grass roots level. We're not a lobbying organization and don't donate money to politicians or PACs.
Our current campaigns include the following:
Fighting against a financial-transaction tax.
Educating our traders about possible new CFTC forex trading rules that may hurt forex traders.
Spreading the word about the problems and opportunities caused by Dodd-Frank Fin Reg.
Prop Trading Firm Alert: FINRA and SEC enforcement against the industry.
Tax hikes may be coming soon on the investment industry.
