Australian Technical Analysts Association FAQ (3)

Are there any pre-requisites for membership?

The Australian Technical Analysts Association is an association of both professional technical analysts and anyone who uses technical analysis for private investing, trading or advising. Membership is varied in employment, geography, market interest and approach to the markets. Current members include corporate treasurers, fund managers, bank analysts and traders, stockbrokers, financial planners, private and local traders, investors and students.

There are no pre-requisites for membership.

Does the ATAA impose any continuing professional development on its members?

The ATAA encourages continuous improvement and strives to provide as many opportunities for members as possible to gain new skills and knowledge. However, participation is always at the members' discretion and no requirements are imposed by membership.

Is there any designation I can use by being a member of the ATAA?

Membership in the ATAA does not, itself, provide for the use of any postnominals.

However, members who successfully complete the Diploma of Technical Analysis, which is accredited as equivalent to the International Federation of Technical Analysts (IFTA) Certified Financial Technician program, are entitled to use the postnominals 'CFTe' and are granted access to IFTA's Masters of Financial Technical Analysis program.
