CMT Volunteer R&D
Denver Community
About
The Denver Community connects CMT Association members in the Rocky Mountain region, a growing hub for finance, technology, and natural resources. This group provides a local forum for professionals to network, share market strategies, and support each other’s career development. Denver has a historical foundation in mining and energy, but has diversified into a major center for the technology, telecommunications, and financial services industries. Its location in the Mountain Time Zone also makes it a unique logistical hub for trading and market analysis, bridging the gap between the east and west coasts.
Mission
The mission of the Denver Community is to build a vibrant, engaged, and innovative network of market professionals throughout the Mountain West. We organize regular, high-quality educational events and provide localized resources for all Chartered Market Technician® (CMT) candidates, serving as a central hub for advancing the discipline of technical analysis in this dynamic, growing region. We value professional development, community, and intellectual exploration. By connecting practitioners across the local financial, energy, and technology sectors, we ensure a flow of relevant insights and expertise, fostering a strong professional community committed to the application of rules-based analysis in the modern market.

Understanding Groups and Gigs
What is a Group?
A Group is an ongoing, strategic body of volunteers who collaborate on a defined mission over an extended period. Groups have formal governance, defined membership, and regular meeting cadences. Joining a group means becoming part of a team committed to driving long-term impact within CMT.
What is a Gig?
A Gig is a short-term, tactical assignment with a clear deliverable and timeline. Gigs are ideal for volunteers who want to contribute their expertise to a specific task without a long-term commitment. They are time-boxed and goal-oriented.
