Like all good associations, success is based on grass roots support, so please help get the word out. Active Trader magazine positively featured our association (previously the GTT Alliance for Traders) in their September 2004 issue. We offer sponsorship opportunities to brokerage firms and other larger trader service companies as well.

Traders Association– Mission Statement, Values and Plan

First, please read our recently updated Overview page. Below is some prior content on the GTT Alliance for Traders, which is now morphing into the Traders Association.

Trading can be a lonely business because most traders are on their own and few have partners or employees to speak with on a daily basis. Many traders join chat rooms and communities to share ideas on trading, business and much more.

But traders are still on their own when it comes to their own finances, taxes and insurance. Unlike employees in companies, traders don’t have employers to withhold taxes, include them in company group insurance and 401(k) retirement plans, or provide them with other employee benefits.

There are lots of great tax, retirement, insurance and other benefits for traders, but unless a trader acts early on to elect, claim or structure these benefits into their business plans, they often miss out.

Our association’s mission is to help traders with their taxes, insurance, retirement and other benefits.

For taxes, you can use GreenTraderTax.com's education center to learn about and take advantage of all possible trader and investor tax breaks currently in the lawbooks. When it comes to taxes, our alliance is focused on federal and state tax advocacy to improve the lot of all traders in general. We need your support!

For health insurance coverage, our association can help traders on an individual case-by-case basis. Click here for our Lending and Insurance section.

Our association will offer a variety of savings plans
Although alliances and associations may no longer arrange for group rates on health insurance for their members, they still offer attractive group rate benefits to their members on plenty of other products and services. We plan to arrange lower group rates on life, disability and long-term care insurance, travel, and much more.

We have already negotiated excellent discounts on mortgages and loans for our members. We have also negotiated significant discounts on courier services. As our membership alliance grows, we will negotiate many other excellent savings programs.

Our Association members benefit from affiliation with GreenTraderTax and other Alliance members
Market research groups survey the American public every year on ‘whom they trust most in their financial affairs,’ and every year CPAs come out on top. It makes great sense to have the No. 1 alliance for traders be affiliated with the leading CPA firms for traders, GreenTraderTax.

GreenTraderTax started a tax advocacy campaign for traders a few years ago. Click here to learn more. Our alliance can continue these efforts. Certainly, traders continue to need tax relief and reform.

Some proprietary trading firms have gone out of business. Click here to learn more. If your firm goes out of business and does not pay back your capital, our alliance can fight for you to get paid before others do.

Traders often go into mediation with brokerage firms for disputes. Our alliance can go to bat for you to get a better settlement.

Our GTT Alliance for Traders will be a powerful force for savings and protection
From help with health insurance to savings on life and disability premiums to savings on mortgages and loans to ease of the application process to savings on plenty of other services to protection with our law firm to fighting for you in Washington for tax relief and reform, our alliance is the one to join.

Like any other membership alliance, we are only as strong as our membership. Membership growth brings more helpful voices and greater strength in negotiations with providers and tax authorities.

GreenTraderTax has the media attention, but we also need your grass-roots support
Our writers dominate the media and we have their support. Active Trader magazine is featuring a positive story on the GTT Alliance for Traders in their September 2004 issue. Click here to learn more about our media support.

But like any successful alliance, we need to build the membership alliance with grass-roots support. We need each member to spread the word in their chat rooms, message board communities, with their brokerage firms, with their friends and contacts and in their posts anywhere and everywhere on the Internet.

Bottom Line
Thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of traders can get great values as members of our GTT Alliance for Traders (now Traders Association). From cost savings to community to protection, our alliance can be the premiere (and possibly only) alliance that really fights for the special needs of traders. GreenTraderTax has earned their right and mandate to lead this alliance and have the most to offer any trader alliance. We will give plenty of our time pro-bono, have some opportunity to profit in an affiliate and add to our brand name, and benefit by leading the premiere alliance. One thing will be absolutely clear and you can bank on it: We never do anything unless it helps traders first and foremost, and after we deliver plenty of savings (tax or other savings plans in the alliance), we make our living from excellent work and our fees come from savings.

Traders Association – Annual Membership $25

Join us and let’s build our alliance, based on the many voices of our membership.

Just picture a world where traders have clout in Washington with brokerage firms, insurance companies, banks and much more. Continue to trade and thrive as an individual, but join our alliance to have clout as the “great trader-class.” Brokers, banks and insurance companies all have clout and industry alliance groups to fight for them. Who fights for traders? Everyone knows Green can fight and now he will fight and lead the Traders Association.

If you want to join now or have more questions, please e-mail us at association@greencompany.com or call us.

Your membership dues will be used entirely to support the association campaign efforts.

Join our weekly conference calls, discuss our association on our message boards and spread the word today. Ask your brokers and Web sites to link to us at http://www.greencompany.com/Association/index.shtml. Let us know what you have done to help; we will keep track of this in this Association area.

Thank you for your support.

Robert A. Green, CPA & CEO
Leader of the Traders Association
