Market Technicians Association 2012 Symposium in N.Y. is Two Weeks Away

This is an awesome event put on every year by a great organization. April 19th & 20th Technicians from all over the world are coming to New York to talk technical strategy and execution. I've been going for years. The idea really is to discuss the technical opportunities that market participants encounter daily – and how to exploit them. This year's conversation is going to concentrate more on quantitative, unemotional techniques suitable for navigating today's complex financial system, always with an eye toward risk control.

I am fortunate enough to be a member of the Market Technicians Association and have been attending the annual symposium for five years. After speaking with the MTA they have offered a Discounted Rate to readers of Allstarcharts. The first 5 people to click here and register for the event will be charged just $425 - a tremendous discount off the Non-members standard registration rate of $750.
