Help Us Fund Educational Programs in Technical Analysis

Ten years ago I made the best decision of my career: I learned what Technical Analysis was and dedicated myself to understanding how supply and demand worked in order to try and profit from the market. Looking back I could only imagine the benefits of making this discover back in college. Unfortunately, the academic community as a group tends to shy away from the reality of supply and demand dynamics in the markets and prefer instead to use a more theoretical approach. I never understood this, but try telling someone that's been told how great they are for 30 years that they should teach kids in a different way. Trust me I've tried. It's not going to happen overnight.

The Market Technicians Association Educational Foundation (MTAEF) has one primary goal: to create and fund educational programs in the field of technical analysis, particularity at the University level. I'm constantly getting emails from students all over the country world wondering why their professors won't teach them these principles of supply and demand in public markets. They pay all of this tuition and want to learn technical analysis, but their professors and deans don't want to. It breaks my heart.

This month, the MTAEF is raising money to help fix the problem (see here). A bunch of my friends in the field of technical analysis have joined me in a fundraising auction. These are some of the best in the business including rock stars like Martin Pring, Craig Johnson and Louise Yamada. The winning bidder gets the opportunity to gain one-on-one insight over a 60-minute phone call or skype session. I'm personally extending this to a dinner or cocktails if the winning bidder prefers (I know I do) and willing to dedicate a full 2 hours.

Please help us with this. The MTAEF has been doing an incredible job of promoting education in technical analysis and it is currently being taught in over 20 Universities around the country. It's in an uptrend, if you will. We need to continue to move forward and focus on reality, not theory. I wish I had these opportunities when I was younger, and based on the feedback I've received from students after speaking at Duke University, Harvard University and Fairfield University, it is a unanimous: "We want to learn more about technical analysis and our professors won't give it to us".

This is a great cause guys. Please help them out!
