IFTA CFTe BadgeCongratulations on earning your CFTe or MFTA designation! You have joined an elite, internationally recognized group of market professionals who have mastered the highest standards of financial technical analysis.

Your digital badge is a secure, verifiable record of this accomplishment. Backed by Credly, it contains embedded metadata that allows institutional firms, compliance departments, and trading networks worldwide to instantly verify your expertise in a single click.

Use the guide linked below to maximize the prestige of your credential and broadcast your market expertise across your professional network.

IFTA MFTA BadgeStep 1: Claim and Secure Your Global Credential

Before broadcasting your technical expertise, make sure your credential is secure and publicly visible.

  • Accept the Badge: Look for an automated email from [email protected]. Click "Accept your badge" to log into your account (or create a free profile if you are a first-time earner).
  • Toggle Publicity Options: Go to your account settings and ensure your badge is set to Public. If it is kept private, corporate recruitment teams and clients will not be able to verify your elite status.
  • Auto-Accept Future Credentials: If you just earned your CFTe and plan to pursue your MFTA thesis next, check the box to "Automatically accept badges from this organization" to bypass manual claiming next time.

Step 2: Broadcast to Your LinkedIn Network

LinkedIn is the most impactful arena to display your financial credentials. Use both methods below for maximum professional exposure:

Option A: Permanently Add to "Licenses & Certifications"
  1. From your Credly Earner Dashboard, click on your CFTe or MFTA badge and select Share.
  2. Choose "Add to Profile".
  3. This securely transmits your certification data to LinkedIn. Your profile will now prominently feature our official organization logo alongside a "See Credential" verification link.
Option B: Share a Milestone Post to Your Newsfeed
