The Market Technicians Association (MTA) is a not-for-profit professional regulatory organization dedicated to educating its membership, the investment community and the public in general about the theory, practice and application of technical analysis. It offers a self-paced certification program that is administered by the Accreditation Committee of the Market Technicians Association, where candidates must demonstrate proficiency in all subjects related to technical analysis. The goal is to guide candidates in developing and mastering analytical skills, promote the highest standards of education in the field, and grant those who complete the program the right to use the professional designation of Chartered Market Technician (CMT). In addition, it is the only program that qualifies as a Series 86 exemption. In order to earn the certificate, candidates must pass a three-part exam (two multiple choice, one essay), and they have a maximum of five years from the date of registration to do it.
