FinancialMarkets.media proudly announces that its Chairman & Founder, Francesc Riverola, has been awarded an Honorary Membership from the Society of Technical Analysts Limited (STA), one of the most prestigious institutions in the world of Technical Analysis.
This recognition honors over 25 years of dedication to advancing technical analysis and trading education globally — a journey that began with FXStreet, continued through FinancialMarkets.media (FMM), and now drives innovation at the International Trading Institute (ITI).
This announcement coincides with the 25th anniversary of FXStreet, a globally recognized news and analysis portal founded by Francesc with his business partner Setxi Fernandes and wife, Miriam Pinatell. From the outset, FXStreet reflected the founders’ vision of creating a leading platform for transparent and objective financial news and analysis. Over the years, the portal has steadily built trust, credibility and a loyal following, attracting attention from the evolving forex industry as well as traders worldwide seeking impartial technical and fundamental insights.
In 2021, the three founders of FXStreet launched FinancialMarkets.media with Sergi López Tomàs, who was also appointed as CEO of the newly established global media agency dedicated to empowering financial firms with improved digital media strategies.
In 2025, with the launch of the International Trading Institute, Francesc brought his vision to life by introducing the first-ever professional Trading Master’s degree, providing a structured path for educating a new generation of traders and brokers.
“Receiving this Honorary Membership is a true milestone,” said Francesc Riverola. “It reflects not only my personal commitment to technical analysis, but also the collective effort and vision of the teams at FXStreet, ITI, and FinancialMarkets.media. Together, we continue to push the boundaries of trading education and market knowledge worldwide”, he added.
