What is the SAMT?

The Swiss Association of Market Technicians is a non-profit organization of market analysis professionals and part of the international organization IFTA with sister societies in more than 20 countries around the globe. SAMT encourages the development of technical analysis and the education of the financial community in the uses and applications of research and its value in the formulation of investment and trading decisions.

What is technical analysis?

Technical Analysis is the study of price movement of financial securities and used as a methodology to forecast the direction of prices. It examines price behavior on an empirical and statistical basis and it extends to the study of all published information like past market data, primarily price and volume.

As part of our evolutionary DNA, our brain is hard wired for pattern matching, But ask yourself how you are applying this skill in your trading? As a trader, the ability to build an archive of pattern analogs can be very powerful.

Our Mission

The goal of SAMT is to introduce new members to the benefits of technical analysis, to educate them through valuable coursess as well as to teach existing members new analysis techniques and bring technical analysts together across Switzerland by organizing presentations and online webinars of leading market experts and excellent networking events. Our BLOG serves as the central hub for relevant news and posts.
