global federation of technical societies. Ralph Acampora, the now
world famous Technical Analyst at Prudential Securities, invited

to join the project - the Society of Technical Analysts (STA) in
London, England and The Technical Security Analysts Society of San

to the study of all published information on price trends,

understanding of technical analysis requires a knowledge of
statistics and pattern recognition, a familiarity with financial
history and cycles.
