Diplomas and Degrees
Australia has a highly recommended Diploma Course. This may be done with lectures within Australia but there is also allowance for a Distance Course.
Britain has some more complex courses with degree examinations and we understand that Universities in USA, Europe and Sweden also provide for a degree in Technical Analysis.
IFTA Journal
We are able to offer STANZ members the IFTA Journal in hard copy form.
The IFTA Journal is the pre-eminent annual publication established by the International Federation of Technical Analysts. It is collated by a committee of IFTA colleagues. The IFTA Journal is essential reading for academics, students and practitioners of Technical Analysis in all arenas. It is an excellent reference source for those interested in Technical Analysis, containing a wealth of resource material.
The annual IFTA Journal publishes original, well-documented papers and articles on a diverse range of topics related to the technical analysis of financial and commodity markets. The Journal provides colleagues and interested persons with continuing education in Technical Analysis. The broad editorial content helps colleagues remain informed of the developments and leading body of work in Technical Analysis.
Home Grown
Our members often meet informally to explore ideas and fine tune methods
Local Groups
STANZ will support and assist the development of sub-groups in other areas. Can you help?
Trading Systems
Technical Analysts almost always develop a system that suits the way they individually trade. There are, however, systems which may be purchased locally and overseas which claim to free analysts from time consuming work at the Computer. We recommend caution here and suggest members work with Technical Analysis and gain familiarity with the Indicators in their Software first. (see http://www.ataa.com.au/ for more information)
Websites
The Australian Technical Analysts Association (www.ataa.com.au)
A list of Australian meetings and Seminars will be found there with a wealth of information.
Australia has very large number of Technical Analysts.
Colin Nicholson (www.bwts.com.au)
A good source of information including dates of NZ seminars.
Colin Nicholson is held in high regard as a practical trader and lecturer
in New Zealand, Australia, United States and Europe and we are able to
refer to him from New Zealand experience.
Books
There are a number of great books available on the subject of Technical Analysis, too many to list. The absolute Bible of Technical Analysis is a book by John J Murphy, “Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets” ,which should be included in any library on this subject. I believe every application of charting is included there. Also clearly set out are some of the precepts of Gann, Elliott Wave and Fibonacci Retracements and Targets. The title is a misnomer as the text applies to any tradeable product.
Seminars
Seminars are held or supported each year with local and international speakers. Some of these speakers are renowned worldwide and are held in high esteem internationally. Our seminars have gone a long way to achieving our educational objectives and make a broader market view available.
