To promote Technical Analysis at both academic and professional levels, through education and the sharing of knowledge with the community of technical analysts and the investment industry, and through the establishment and fostering of the highest standards.

The CSTA accomplishes our mission by promoting technical analysis on a local and national level.  Local chapters are located from coast to coast with an ever expanding membership.  Local chapters hold monthly meetings providing access to national and local expertise as well as educational sessions designed to deepen our members understanding and use of technical analysis. Our library of online and written material and books supports our members educational pursuits.  Nationally an expanding conference program held in different centers across the country incorporates specific topic discussion and analysis using technical analysis.  

Our members are comprised of investment industry professional, portfolio managers, analysts, newsletter authors, television commentators, strategists, day traders, option traders  as well as individuals who wish to establish or deepen their knowledge and application of technical analysis.
