AAPTA Information

The American Association of Professional Technical Analysts is the premier place for accomplished professional technicians to engage in networking, open dialogue and thought-provoking get-togethers. AAPTA provides a forum for its members to share research and resources, exchange ideas on Technical Analysis and the markets, and facilitate the highest level of professionalism in our field. Members share ideas and information through AAPTA's online forums, while the nation's brightest minds in the business speak at AAPTA's annual conferences. One-day brainstorming meetings also foster the intellectual development of our members. Strict entrée requirements ensure that members are proficient and set the highest standards when it comes to professionalism and ethics. Our membership includes the sharpest minds among money managers, analysts, advisors and traders. All subscribe to the pursuit of sharing and improving the technical tools and data used to analyze supply/demand imbalances in the markets. AAPTA applicants must have seven consecutive years of using Technical Analysis in their primary professional occupation, as well as the sponsorship of three AAPTA members. Applicants are then subject to a 30-day review period by the other AAPTA members as well as approval from the membership committee. AAPTA was incorporated as a nonprofit in 2004 and is a proud member of the International Federation of Technical Analysts.
