Value of Having the CMT Designation
The Chartered Market Technician (CMT) program offers a structured approach to study technical analysis and ensures all key areas are covered. The CMT can help to open doors that lead to job opportunities and only the CMT demonstrates to Wall Street that you are a professional in the field of technical analysis. For those seeking a more traditional Wall Street analyst job, passing the first two CMT exams provides a significant step towards the Registered Research Analyst (Series 86) designation from FINRA.
