CMT Designation

[achandra]

Hi,
I am an Electrical Engineer by education. I hope to become a trader in the near future. Is getting the Chartered Market Technician(CMT) designation a good first step? Do companies tend to seek people with CMT's for trader positions? If not, what's my best option?

Thanks,
achandra
