Dear Members, Associates, Partners and Friends,

As you know, we are in a very volatile time.  Not only in the markets, but in our lives.  I wanted to take just a few moments to share my thoughts about our association and about sticking to our mission.

First – We are committed to making it to the other side of COVID-19 and stewarding member resources in a prudent and cautious manner.   

In a short amount of time, we’ve been through a lot of change.  We’ve had to postpone our 47^th Annual Symposium and we have bumped our mid-year exam cycle to December due to COVID-19. 

We are taking the threat very seriously and adjusting our short-term focus to be prudent and conservative financially.  We are taking the actions necessary to stay relevant to members, to be mindful of staff, and to be cooperative with our partners.  Staff and committees have done an amazing job

While you are stuck at home, here are some presentations to keep your TA mind sharp.

On Saturday, March 28th, 2020, the Technical Analysis community came together for a virtual conference, Chart Summit 2020, to educate, learn, and, most importantly, raise money for four charities that are supporting the fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic. Host JC Parets, CMT, and his team at All Star Charts partnered with Traders4ACause, the TAN Association, and over 30 market professionals/firms to deliver over 12 hours of content, hosting more than 10,000 registered participants, and raising over $50,000 for charity on the first day alone.

The presentations featured industry powerhouses like Dr. Brett Steenbarger, NYSE Floor Governor Jay Woods, Chief Equity Strategist of Bloomberg Intelligence Gina Martin Adams, and many others offering their own unique perspective on the current market environment. All of the replays are available for FREE at http://ChartSummit.com and donations are encouraged at

The holdings consist of books, historical texts, journals, investment advisory letters, recordings, electronic and digital media, chart books, and photographs. The collection continues to grow through new acquisitions and donations.
