Hi guys ! This is my first post on ET... It won't be a glamorous one... Sorry. Next time I'll try to drop by with a dazzling trading system making 2 billion % of profit a day (^_^) But for now, let's go a bit "down to earth". A recent relationship and a bit of budget mess have completely eaten all my capital. I'm left with nothing left to trade So I need to work my ass off and save a nice stack before going back to trading again... So, to get more opportunities (and $$$) at work, I'm thinking about taking the CFA, the CAIA and aside, some certification in Technical Analysis. (I know that's gonna be quite a big load of home work). Regarding T.A , I've heard about the CMT and CFTe. How do they compare ? Do you know any other certification like those in T.A. ? According to you, which one is the best in term of reputation ? Many thx in advance and good trading to yall ! P. P.S: Of course, this is only to improve my resume... I know this is not going to make me a better trader !!!
1) They're not taken seriously by anybody. Focus on gaining expereince before wasting time on "bogus" certfications. 2) They won't "improve" your resume'. You'll be seen as a psuedo-credentialed fool.
Depends on where you want to work and what you want to do. If you want to get a job in the investment industry the CMT is viewed as voo-doo witch craft. The CFA is held in high regard. If you want to trade for a living you don't need either.
