How to become a Professional Technical Analyst

A lot of people use technical analysis and offer opinions on the technical condition of the various markets.  But are they really qualified to do so?  How much would you know? After all, you wouldn't go to a doctor who didn't have a medical degree on the wall.  Nor would you consult a lawyer who hadn't passed the bar exam.  Your accountant is undoubtedly a CTA (Chartered Market Technician).

The Market Technicians Association (MTA) resolved this question by instituting a Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program.  The CMT program is a three level examination process that qualifies the analyst to carry the CMT letters after his or her name.

The Market Technicians Association (MTA) is the oldest and best known technical society in the world.  It was founded in 1972 to encourage the exchange of technical ideas, educate the public and the investment community, and establish a code of ethnics and professional standards among technical analysts.
