OVERVIEW

Chartered Market Technician (CMT) is a professional designation that confirms proficiency in technical analysis of the financial markets. The CMT designation requires completion of an education program and examination series in technical analysis. Chartered Market Technicians Association (CMT) oversees the program curriculum and administration of exams. Candidates who pass all three examination levels of the program can earn the Chartered Market Technician designation, which certifies that the individual is competent in technical analysis..

The CMT Program

The CMT Association is a global credentialing body with nearly 50 years of service to the financial industry. The Chartered Market Technician® (CMT) designation marks the highest education within the discipline and is the preeminent designation for practitioners of technical analysis worldwide. Our market philosophy is grounded in behavioural economics and extends beyond classical pattern recognition techniques, including quantitative approaches to market research and rules-based trading system design and testing. Technical analysis provides the tools to successfully navigate the gap between intrinsic value and market price across all asset classes through a disciplined, systematic approach to market behaviour and the law of supply and demand.

The objectives of the CMT Program are:

• To guide candidates in mastering a professional body of knowledge and in developing analytical skills;
• To promote and encourage the highest standards of education; and
• To grant the right to use the professional designation of Chartered Market Technician (CMT) to those members who successfully complete the Program and agree to abide by the CMT Code of Ethics.
• In order to be granted your CMT designation, you must meet the following requirements:
• Successful completion of all three (3) levels of the CMT Exam.
• Have been gainfully employed in a professional analytical or investment management capacity for a minimum period of three (3) years and must be regularly engaged in this capacity at the time of successfully passing all three (3) levels of the CMT Exam.
