Description

The Commodity Floor Brokers and Traders Association, founded in 1990, represents the interests of the New York floor community. Our goal, as a non-profit group, is to explain, enhance, improve and represent our profession - to the trading community, investment public and regulatory bodies. We are a group that transcends individual exchange issues and politics to address concerns common to us all: government proposals and regulations that affect our livelihood; ethical business practices; better trading facilities; technology and its impact on our trading floors; and, the globalization of world markets. We also take time to focus on the individual needs of our membership in areas such as health, life, and disability insurance. Since our formation, we have made enormous progress as an organization. Our membership rolls have doubled over the years, and our status and usefulness to our members has increased proportionately. We are regular ambassadors to Washington - explaining our open outcry system to regulators, legislators and industry groups. We take seriously our role as industry educators - explaining the mechanics of open outcry, the value of traditional trading floors and our role in the world's economy.
