Technical analysis is often an understated aspect of both the business and finance sectors. Once obtained, many professionals believe that qualifications of technical analysis are invaluable to a successful career in finance. Particularly in the trading and investment areas of the finance sector, technical analysis can provide a great insight into market trends and the best times to buy and sell. While many students gain qualifications in finance, technical analysis provides a more specialised skill set, particularly for people wanting to enter the investment and trading areas of the financial sector.

Technical Analysis Subjects

For finance students wishing to improve their knowledge and skills in technical analysis, beginning with the FIN231 Technical Analysis subject is a solid start for gaining a broad aspect of the subject. If you wish to become more adept in technical analysis, after completion of the FIN231 subject, professionals recommend studying 9063 Specialised Techniques in Technical Analysis. This course will assist students in further developing their specialisations within the subject, such as a more in-depth look at esoteric theories of technical analysis and more training specifically focused on technical trading techniques.

Why is Technical Analysis Important for your Career?

Many professionals have stated that the completion of a technical analysis qualification has enabled them to better understand the trading and investing world and make smarter decisions within their career. Thorough training in technical analysis can assist professionals in making educated decisions regarding the timing of entry to and exit of the market, which is ultimately where the money is made. Rather than predictions and educated guess work, technical analysis involves focusing more on the timing of trades, making it a more conclusive way for professionals to work.

Upgrading your finance qualifications to include technical analysis subjects can also help to open a number of doors within the job market. A specialised technique, such as technical analysis, is always in high demand and provides job seekers with a great advantage.

What can you get from Technical Analysis?

If you are searching for a rewarding career in finance, a specialisation in technical analysis may be just what you are looking for. Many qualified technical analysts, who are now professionals within the finance industry, say that technical analysis is one of the most stimulating and rewarding areas of their job. Rather than examining market trends from only one perspective, students training in technical analysis will be able to observe the financial market from different angles and gain an alternative perspective, ultimately allowing them to provide better information to others in the financial sector.

  1. Very good point, Richard. Many times I have had portfolio managers ask me, as a technologist, my thoughts on a particular company, from a technical aspect, relating to the particular service or product (i.e. software) that they produce. That is a great idea to have the financial analysts learn about technical analysis to become better equipped to make their assessments and recommendations.

    1. Thank you for commenting Deborah. This is even more important today since we're in an age and time when company valuations are way off the roof fostering fears of an impending technology bubble as we have seen leading up to the days before the Facebook IPO.
