The Netherlands Chapter serves the CMT Association community in a historic European financial hub. It connects members in cities like Amsterdam, providing a local forum for sharing knowledge and advancing the practice of technical analysis within the Dutch market. The first CMT charter was awarded in the Netherlands on April 10, 2003. While our Association has been careful to respect the presence of local IFTA societies in Europe, the growing number of CMT charterholders in key financial centers has made it a priority to provide direct support and build a local community presence.
The Netherlands Chapter is dedicated to providing a true professional home for technical analysts, actively working to elevate the discipline to the highest standard within the Dutch financial markets. Our mission involves the consistent coordination of high-value regional meetings, expert-led seminars, and professional networking events. We are committed to enhancing the analytical skills and market discipline of every member, connecting them with local leaders and global insights. We value collaboration, continuous learning, and professional recognition, which drives us to build a supportive community where ideas are exchanged and technical expertise is deepened. By establishing the Chartered Market Technician® (CMT) designation as the benchmark for excellence, we ensure that our members are positioned as trusted, sophisticated practitioners, contributing to the credibility and rigor of the financial industry in the Netherlands.
Steward the CMT Association mission at the national level, extending engagement to members and stakeholders beyond individual city communities.
Lead national advocacy for technical analysis with regulators, financial media, and institutional employers.
Provide governance oversight and leadership for city Communities, ensuring consistent standards, reporting, and volunteer support across the country.
Understanding Groups and Gigs
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.
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.

| Time Commitment |
Recommended Time Commitment & Cadence
Chapter leaders should expect a commitment of 6–12 hours per month. This includes approximately 1–2 hours for the formal monthly meeting, with the remaining time dedicated to stakeholder engagement, partnership development, and overseeing city-level Communities. Time commitments may spike to 15+ hours during national seminars or major regional event months.
Chapters are required to hold formal leadership meetings at least four times per fiscal year (quarterly). While quarterly is the minimum, most active chapters convene monthly or every 6–8 weeks to coordinate regional programming, advocacy initiatives, and community support.
