What other sources of information should candidates refer to in order to better understand the exam material?
Candidates should refer to textbooks or web sites other than those assigned in the readings if they come across material which they are having difficulty with. Often, an explanation by a different author aids in understanding. The MTA also maintains a forum where CMT candidates can discuss the exam material. Additionally, many candidates have commented that they gained a better understanding of the material by reading all of the assigned textbooks, even if only certain chapters were specifically assigned. One general technical analysis reference source which is often used by candidates is the Encyclopedia of Technical Indicators, Second Edition by Robert Colby, and the MTA Knowledge Base.
