Welcome Continuous Progression
in Investment Management
‘The Nippon Techrical Analysts Association {NTAA) is delighted to
be hosting the 2015 International Federation of Tecnnical,
Analysts’ converence in Tokyo.
‘The theme of the Conference. “Continuous Progression in
Investment Management” will serve asthe framework for the
program. The creation of the world s fist futures market in
dapan, the Osaka Dojima Rice Futures Exchange. gave birth to the
concept of technical analysis in the Tath century. Since those
pioneering cays, analytical methods nave never remained state.
Technical analysis has markedly progressed trom ts humble
origins ~ and will continue to do so ~ being infused with new
Ideas and techniques being developed continuous. These new
Ideas, combined with continual improvements to exsting
techniques, are what make technical analysis sucha fascinating
topic. Recenty, modern technical analysis has been rapidly
aining ground and is signticantly eesnaping the landscape of the
technical analysis coramurity in Japan.
‘While Japan was the birthplace of a rumber of tasitional
technical analysis techniques (such as Candlestick charting,
Iehimoku Cloud charting. Kag-ashi, Renkovash etc), thas now
fone of the world's hignest concentrations of madern technical
analysis practtioners and researchers, These new breed of
technical analysis practitioners include traders deploying
utvasmodern aigorthmic trading platforms, ang researchers
veloping world-leading sophisticated quantitative trading
systems and investment mode's.
‘That stated, some ef the most intrinsic elements of market rules
have not changed, nor wil likely change. The Conference will be
programmed in such 2 way to Eve the devegates a clear
perspective of how techrical analysis has progressed and where
itis heading in the next decade and the next century
“omotenashi Conference for All Investment Professionals and
Academics
“The sub-theme * ‘Omotenash’ in Technical Analysis" will bestow
the conference with a local avor. ‘Omotenash’ 's a Japanese
word which means “Seltless, harmonious hospitality". We have
‘ecied on this sub-heme forthe folowing reasons:
TAA is determined ta make the utmost ettort to ensure that
the attending delegates wil be thoroughiy satisted, fully
benefting from the intensely condensed conference program in a
highy cordial environment.
‘The ‘Omotenashi’ sprit has alot to do with ‘simplicity’, the
core of the Japanese culture and spit which forms the base for.
Just to name a few, Sado (tea ceremony), Zen, Bushigo (Samurai
spirl), Bonsai (miniaturized trees grown in containers), kebana
Uaparese flower arrangement), and many other unique Japanese
cultural arts and customs, and ive would tke the delegates to
enjoy the unique local cultural favor.
‘Omatenash' masters are skilled in foresight with the ability to
“anticipate” the feelings oftheir guests and take action to ensure
harmony (veil beloreorsinary peopie notice), operating in the
‘same way as market masters who know how to correct
“ancicinate” future market developments and take action
accordingly (well before ordinary market players stat reacting to
widely known facts
Mastery ofthe ‘Omotenashi’ spirit nelos improves one’s trading
skis by allowing one te focus on the “essential” rather than
‘rinar peripheral detail,
We have deliberately wiclened the scope of this conference to
appeal to the broad financial community 2s well as the academic
community. and not just technical analysts. We wil be using our
extensive felationships with other financial and educational
‘organizations here and abroas to market the conference globally
and are looking to attract delegates from allover the worl.
The level af Conference presentations wil be geared to
protessionally employed Fund Managers, Traders, Analysts. Asset
Allocators, Private Bankers, Financial Planners, and also highiy
‘experienced private financial market traders/investors, as well as
researchers and educators at leaging academic institutions.
‘The Conference willbe held atthe Kelo Plaza Hotel, a luxurious
ote located in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, the business /
commercial district which nas the hignest concentration of
skyscrapers in te city
\We look forward to seeing you in Tokyo in October!
