About the Market Technicians Association (MTA)

The mission of The Market Technicians Association is to provide their membership with the best and most current technical analysis information environment in the industry. Membership with the MTA also allows for the studying and securing of the CMT designation, the "Gold Standard" designation for market technicians.

The Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program offers a structured approach to study technical analysis and ensures all key areas are covered. The CMT can help to open doors that lead to job opportunities and only the CMT demonstrates to Wall Street that you are a professional in the field of technical analysis. For those seeking a more traditional Wall Street analyst job, passing the first two CMT exams provides a significant step towards the Registered Research Analyst (Series 86) designation from FINRA.

It is strongly believed that a continuing education program will strengthen the CMT designation in the eyes of the membership and, most importantly, with the financial community. In order to meet the requirements of the voluntary CE Program, one must complete 15 CE Credits by the end of the calendar year. 1 CE Credit is defined as 1 hour. The following courses have been approved for MTA CE credits by the Market Technicians Association.
