The Australian Technical Analysts
Association (ATAA) is a non-profit association of both
professional technical analysts and anyone who uses
technical analysis for private investing, trading or
advising.The aims of
the ATAA are:
- To establish personal
contacts between analysts both inside and
outside Australia with a view to promoting the
theory and practice of technical analysis.
- To help raise the level
of community awareness and respect for technical
analysis.
- To provide meetings and
encourage the interchange of materials, ideas
and information in order to add to the knowledge
of members.
- To encourage the highest
professional ethics and competence among
technical analysts.
The ATAA is affiliated with
the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA)
which helps members keep abreast of international
markets and techniques.
Founded by a small group of
technical analysts who met on a regular basis, the
association was officially launched on 26 April
1990.
Membership is varied in
employment, geography, market interest and approach
to the markets. Current members include corporate
treasurers, mid managers, bank analysts and traders,
stockbrokers, financial planners, private and local
traders, investors and students.
