Strategic Relationships - Technical Analysis - Comparitive Market Analysis

This page is a breakdown of the various TA organizations that we have a renewed strategic relationship with. You will find that there are many benefits that our membership gains from these relationships.

At the 2009 May Symposium, Executive Director Tom Silveri gave a presentation regarding the current State of the Market Technicians Association. To view his presentation, click here.

Greek Association of Market Analysts

http://www.gama-gr.org/index.html

GAMA was formed by a committed group of dedicated market professionals to fill the need for a recognized professional body in order to give Greek market analysts formal representation in the global forum.

GAMA fully supports the CMT (Chartered Market Technician) accreditation process. CMT is a formal and accepted certification by leading world exchanges and we believe it is a matter of time before it is formally recognized locally and regionally.

Under the current trend of common exchanges platforms and stock-markets cooperation, a cutting edge advantage such as the market analyst title will be a common place event.
