The CFTe II is offered bi-annually, in April and October. This exam incorporates a number of questions requiring an essay based analysis and answers. For this, the candidate should demonstrate a depth of knowledge and experience in applying various methods of technical analysis. The exam provides a number of current charts covering one specific market (often an equity), to be analyzed as though for a Fund Manager. This exam is offered in English, German, Arabic, Spanish, French, Italian, and Chinese. The cost for IFTA member colleagues is *$850 US. *Additional fees may apply: $100 US for non-IFTA proctored exam locations; $250 US translation fee.

MASTER OF FINANCIAL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS (MFTA)
The MFTA requires an original body of research, a research paper of no less than three thousand, and no more than five thousand words. Charts, Figures and Tables may be presented in addition, but should not constitute the bulk of the paper. It is intended to be a rigorous demonstration of professionalism in the global arena of Technical Analysts. There are two submission dates per year, in May and October. The cost for member colleagues is $950 US.
1. The next MFTA (Session 2) application deadline is 2 October 2020. For more details (including prerequisites), visit the MFTA webpage.
