How will individual investors/traders benefit from the TSAA-SF study guide and exam?
The TSAA-SF study guide and exam is an educational self-study course emphasizing a systematic approach to Technical Analysis.

What is the best way to study for the TSAA-SF certification exam?
The first step in studying for the TSAA-SF certification exam is to sequentially read through the study guide and take the PDF quiz at the end of each section to test your comprehension of the material. Once you have read through all of the sections and completed the PDF quizzes, you can register for the exam and take the practice exam. After completing the practice exam you will receive feedback on your performance in each section. You can then go back through the material and review areas that require more study prior to taking the final exam.

Testimonials
A trader-analyst's worst enemies are forever boring from within. Those enemies are "ignorance, fear, greed, and hope". To combat and subdue those enemies, the good trader-analyst must convince himself/herself that he/she really does possess a knowledge of the basic tools of Technical Market Analysis. Too often, a reliable "convincer strategy" is lacking.
The TSAA-SF Study Guide and Examinations are designed to be the best, the most convincing package of the basic tools of market analysis available to the individual trader-analyst. The Study Guide is a handy, easy to use catalog of the most commonly used charts, patterns, indicators and techniques. Included are line charts, patterns, point-and-figure charts, and Japanese Candlestick charts. The Examinations are designed to test and drive home the knowledge of these basic tools. They are used in trend, trading range and turning point analyses for short, intermediate and longer time frames.
All of the foregoing were reviewed and approved by members of the TSAA-SF to assure the highest standards of quality and integrity.
