Chartered Market Technician
As with similar finance organizations that establish standards of competence for its members, the CMT Association provides a self-developed standard of proficiency. The Chartered Market Technician program is the examination series that demonstrates proficiency in technical analysis. Candidates who pass the program's three examination levels, and who are also full members of the CMT Association, earn the Chartered Market Technician designation (CMT), certifying that the individual is competent in the use of technical analysis.{{cite web|last=Carr|first=Michael|title=The Chartered Market Technician (CMT) Program|url=http://sfomag.com/article.aspx?ID=1264|work=SFO Magazine|access-date=2011-07-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090201034050/http://sfomag.com/article.aspx?ID=1264|archive-date=2009-02-01|url-status=usurped}}{{cite web |last1=Chen |first1=James |title=Chartered Market Technician (CMT) |url=https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cmt.asp |website=Investopedia |publisher=Dotdash Meredith |access-date=21 May 2022}} Candidates who pass the program's three examination levels and are full members of the CMT Association earn the Chartered Market Technician (CMT) designation, certifying their proficiency in technical analysis.
