Are you planning on attending the NIBA fall conference in September, but youʼre not a member yet? No problem.

You can join the Association when you register for the conference. Attendance at the event is complimentary for NIBA members. IBs and CTAs pay $150 per year. APs pay $75 per year. Also included in the IB and CTA membership is a subscription to the NIBA Journal, our online Newsletter and a listing in the online Broker Directory for the remainder of 2013. FCMs, Service Providers and others are urged to contact me directly.

The NIBA membership meeting is more important than ever this fall. NFA and CFTC regulation changes will affect your day-to-day business. Reporting and recording requirements, plus potential substantial changes in FCM capitalization requirements will have an effect on your daily operations. Each of our business sessions will help you understand, prepare and comply with the NFA and CFTC requirements. Networking between sessions and at the Telvent DTN-sponsored reception is the best way to learn what your colleagues are doing to stay in compliance.

Just fill in the Registration Form for the September 18 conference and we will contact you with additional information about your membership. I will be in Chicago for the event and I look forward to meeting you there. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can answer any questions about the NIBA.

After surveying the current landscape for active investing, CEO Donnie Roberts decided that traditional futures had not evolved to meet the needs of the self-directed trader. Small Exchange futures were designed with ease of use in mind, and they cut out the large notional sizes and inconsistent specifications from traditional futures while providing cost-efficient capital requirements. All products from the Small Exchange have the same minimum tick...

Chairman Letter for February 2013

Dear Members - If you think endless snow storms and wind chills below zero have gotten you pretty far down, don't even look at the new and proposed regulation discussed below. Over at the NFA, fines are now in place for registrants, including IBs, who are late filing various reports. Fines are in the amount of $1,000 per day! No doubt there are some bad apples who file late regularly, but currently there are no exemption or waiver procedures in place for an IB who is late once during the term of membership. Also at the NFA, a proposal to have CPOs/CTAs meet minimum financial standards has been suggested, along with a rule that requires an independent third party to...
