ASSOCIATION
OTHER BENEFITS

The Traders Association and Advocacy plans to provide representation for online and small business traders to the media, government officials and the public. Online and business traders are highly educated and have advanced computing skills. They trade with discipline and risk management, procure and develop sophisticated tools and purchase advanced trading and data systems just like institutional traders. The entire trading industry has recently been denigrated by elements in Washington and in the media. As a pretext to new regulations and tax increases, traders everywhere are being castigated as speculators causing spikes in energy prices and company-killing short-sellers. These erroneous and unwarranted attacks show the lack of knowledge of their detractors. It’s our mission to project and promote the positive manner in which traders enrich their lives and benefit industry and society.

A trade association can be defined as an organization founded and funded by businesses of a specific industry, with the main goal being standardization. A trade association engages in public relations activities such as advertising, education, political donations, lobbying, and organizing events for charity (we envision doing all of these activities). Many are non-profit organizations governed by bylaws and and a board of directors.
