The ATAA Online Introductory Technical Analysis Course
The ATAA Online Introductory Technical Analysis Course creation is the culmination of many man-hours of work over numerous years.
The course material originated from a course that was presented in Western Australia over many years between 1995 and Dec 2018. This very successful course provided 8 * 2 hour modules and was delivered in the Face-to-Face format. Numerous Perth ATAA members were introduced to Technical Analysis by undertaking this course.
Over the last 18 months the content has updated and modernised for an online format and it includes it’s very own bespoke Charting Software (Modular Charts). It is still delivered as 8 individual modules which cover everything from Chart Types to Money Management. The ATAA is very pleased to have established a partnership agreement with Chartwise Market Solutions to provide this highly regarded course to our members.
