    AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF

    SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE WITH REFERENCE TO

    SHAREKHAN LTD

    Abstract

    One of the greatest difficulties facing a stock trader or investment manager is the

    stock selection process. In this process, the investor is faced with a large number of

    competing investments, and a fixed amount of capital. The goal is to spread the

    available capital across a reduced subset of the competing investments, with the aim

    of increasing the return. Typically, the investor relies on one of two main frameworks

    to guide the selection process, namely Fundamental Analysis, and Technical Analysis.This paper focuses on Technical Analysis, and implements a neural network which

    supports the stock selection process.

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 INTRODUCTION

    The Indian stock market is large and vibrant. It is also rumor and insider driven. The

    average investor does little or no research and makes his purchase, sales decision on

    the strength of an article that he may have read. This happens as an average investor isnot clear as to how to analyze the companies and not equipped to arrive at an

    https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=att&th=12cf8d00867ebe14&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=2ec0fae89e64c1aa_0.1&zwhttps://mail.google.com/mail/?view=att&th=12cf8d00867ebe14&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=2ec0fae89e64c1aa_0.1&zw

    investment decision. Consequently he buys and sells with inadequate information and

    often suffers needless losses. It is for those who are prepared to study and analyze

    companies and make Judgment whether to buy or sell the particular stocks.

    Information is essential in making accurate judgment.

    The primary objective of guiding investors with investment decisions relating to buyor hold or sell the shares in the near future. The approaches used in analyzing the

    movement of share Prices by technical approach. The objective of buying at a lower

    price and selling at a higher price to get a good return on investment. However, there

    is a vast difference between -the material studies and basis of analysis.

    A technical analyst is concerned with the direction of movement. He would be buying

    if he sees that the main trend is rising and would be moving out of the scrip as and

    when he finds that the scrip is reversing direction. His approach is based on the

    analysis of the demand- supply equation. If the demand for scrip is greater than its

    supply the prices would be expected to rise, prompting the analyst to buy. On the

    Same count, if the supply of scrip exceeds its demand, the prices would be expectedto move downwards and he would exit from the scrip or book profits.

    A method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity,

    such as past prices and volume. Technical analyses do not attempt to measure a

    Securitys intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns

    that can suggest future activity. Technical analysts believe that the historical

    performance of Stocks and markets are indications of future performance. Technical

    analysis is done with the tools like Relative Strength Index, Rate of change,, moving

    average convergence and divergence. Based on the trend, the investment guidance is

    given whether to go for long or short or hold the stocks.

    2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

    The average investor does little or no research and makes his purchase, sales decision

    on the strength of an article that he may have read. This happens as an average

    investor is not clear as to how to analyze the companies and not equipped to arrive at

    an investment decision. Consequently he buys and sells with inadequate information

    and often suffers needless losses. It is for those who are prepared to study and analyze

    companies and make Judgment whether to buy or sell the particular stocks.

    Information is essential in making accurate judgment.

    1.3 INDUSTRY PROFILE

    The Brokerage Industry

    The stock-broking business has undergone a sea change over the last decade. The

    three main factors behind the changes in the stock-broking business are:

    First, the shift from floor-based to screen-based trading in 1994. This brought

    transparency into trade execution and raised the confidence of investors. The result

    has been lower transaction charges and increased convenience. This has helped both

    the investors and the brokers.

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    9/93

    The second change was dematerialization. Dematerialisation is a process of

    converting physical share certificates into electronic shares. This saves time and

    money.

    The introduction of futures and options was the third major factor that has changed

    the face of the stock-broking business as it is a new avenue for revenue.

    In actuality the brokerage industry continues to develop rapidly. Many of the

    traditional restrictions against banking activities within the brokerage industry are

    being eliminated and the barriers are disappearing. Due to this, some commercial

    banks have as subsidiaries, brokerage houses that offer discounts and some of them

    have available accounts that offer all of the services that are offered by a checking

    account.

    The basic function of a brokerage firm is to execute buy and sell orders for clients.

    Traditionally these firms have offered the investigation of the quality and the

    possibilities of investing in a variety of investment products. It is still accustomed forbrokerage firms to offer information about possible investments free of charge. This

    activity of bringing free of charge stock investment report is one of the main tools that

    are utilized by brokerage houses to compete against other firms and to investors it

    continues to be an important service.

    Despite the previously, not all investors consider that investment reports is an

    important service. Some investors prefer other types of services since many investors

    dont believe that these investment reports are useful. In order to capture this vast

    diverse clientele, the brokerage industry has segmented itself. After the restrictions in

    commissions were eliminated, several brokerages began to open up their doors as

    discount brokerage firms. In actuality, brokerage firms may be classified into full

    service brokers and discount brokers.

    Full service brokerage firms continue to offer informative stock reports and a level of

    service much higher than other brokerage houses. Discount brokerage houses only

    dedicate themselves to execute orders for clients. Full service brokers are sellers

    looking for purchasing and selling for clients and offering more customer service than

    is available from discount brokers. It is many times possible that a client will not even

    know who is taking care of the buy or sell order that they placed.

    These differences in services and philosophies may lead to great differences incommission costs. It is evident that these differences may be an important factor in

    the return of an investment. This is particularly true when we see that these

    commissions are added to the purchase as well as to the sale of a stock or other

    investments.

    History

    Philadelphia was the centre of American finance during the first forty years of the

    new United States. In 1790, the country's first stock exchange was founded there and

    Chestnut Street was home to the nation's most powerful financial institutions.

    However, in the 1820s a shift to New York City began and for more than one hundredand fifty years Wall Street has been synonymous with the stock brokerage business.

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    10/93

    Some sources suggest that historical top-level brokers and a number of other firms

    rose to prominence over that time, with the top-ranked brokerages in the early 1950s

    being

    1. Merrill Lynch

    2. Paine Webber & Company

    3. Morgan Stanley

    4. Goldman Sachs

    5. Bear Stearns

    Since the 1980s stock broking firms have also been allowed to be market makers as

    long as the appropriate Chinese walls are put in place.

    With the advent of automated stock broking systems on the Internet the client often

    has no personal contact with his/her stock broking firm. The stockbroker's system

    performs all the stock broking functions: it obtains the best price from the market,

    executes and settles the trade.

    Discount brokers have taken a large share of the business by offering highly

    discounted commissions. Discount brokers may offer limited advisory services, but

    their primary focus tends to be servicing self directed retail accounts.

    Origin of stock broking in India

    The origin of stock broking in India goes back to a time, when shares, debentures and

    bonds representing title to property were first issued on the condition of transfer from

    one person to another. The earliest record of dealings in securities in India is the East

    India Companys loan securities.

    The advent of the companies Act 1850 and subsequent introduction of the principle of

    limited liability, made investments in stocks and shares popular.Though stock broking

    was practiced in Calcutta as early as 1836, the members of the broking profession had

    neither any code of conduct for their guidance, nor any permanent place for

    congregation.

    The stock brokers obviously, significant role in the stock market. Stock broker means

    a member of a recognized stock exchange who deals in securities. Until 1988, stock

    exchanges were more or less self-regulatory organizations. Their regulations covered

    the entire gamut of operations of stockbrokers. However, they had not been

    discharging their self-regulatory role well, resulting into malpractices in trading,

    settlement and transfer of securities. Ever since the Securities and Exchange Board of

    India (SEBI) assumed the monitoring function of brokers, stock broking is emerging

    as a professional service in tune with the requirements of mature and sophisticated

    stock exchanges in the country, replacing its traditional closed character as inherited

    family business. To act as a broker, certificate of registration from the SEBI ismandatory. It is empowered to impose conditions while granting the certificate that as

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    11/93

    a member of a stock exchange he has to abide its rules, regulations and bye-laws, pay

    the prescribed fee and take adequate steps for the redressal of investors grievances

    within one month of the receipt of the complaint and keep the SEBI informed about

    the number, nature and other particular of such complaints.

    Similar roles

    Roles similar to that of a stock broker include investment advisor, and financial

    advisor. A stockbroker may or may not be also an investment advisor, and vice versa.

    Acting as a principal

    Stockbrokers also sometimes or exclusively trade on their own behalf, as a principal,

    speculating that a share or other financial instrument will increase or decline in price.

    In such cases the term broker makes little sense and the individuals or firms trading in

    principal capacity sometimes call themselves dealers, stock traders or simply traders.

    [A stock broker is just the main part of being a City Trader. Other types of CityTrading include working in the Foreign Exchange.

    Depository Participant

    A Depository Participant (DP) is described as an agent of the depository. They are the

    intermediaries between the depository and the investors. The relationship between the

    DPs and the depository is governed by an agreement made between the two under the

    Depositories Act. In a strictly legal sense, a DP is an entity who is registered as such

    with SEBI under the provisions of the SEBI Act. As per the provisions of this Act, a

    DP can offer depository-related services only after obtaining a certificate ofregistration from SEBI.

    SEBI (D&P) Regulations, 1996 prescribe a minimum net worth of Rs. 50 lakh for

    stockbrokers, R&T agents and non-banking finance companies (NBFC), for granting

    them a certificate of registration to act as DPs. If a stockbroker seeks to act as a DP in

    more than one depository, he should comply with the specified net worth criterion

    separately for each such depository. No minimum net worth criterion has been

    prescribed for other categories of DPs. However, depositories can fix a higher net

    worth criterion for their DPs. NSDL requires a minimum net worth of Rs. 100 lakh to

    be eligible to become a DP as against Rs. 50 lakh prescribed by SEBI (D&P)

    Regulations.

    stock broker

    Investor requires a Stock Broker to buy and sell shares in stock exchanges (BSE, NSE

    etc.). Stock Broker is registered member of stock exchange. A stock broker can

    register to one or more stock exchanges.

    Only stock brokers can directly buy and sell shares in Stock Market. An investor must

    contact a stock broker to trade stocks. Broker charge commissions (brokerages) for

    their service. Brokerage is usually a percent of total amount of trade and varies from

    broker to broker.

    12/93

    A stock broker is a person or a firm that trades on its clients behalf, the customer tell

    the broker what they want to invest in and they will issue the buy or sell order. Some

    stock brokers also give out financial advice.It wasnt too long ago and investing was

    very expensive because the customer had to go through a full service broker which

    would give them advice on what to do and would charge them a hefty fee for it. Now

    there are a plethora of discount stock brokers.

    STOCK BROKING SERVICES

    A transaction on a stock exchange must be made between two members of the

    exchange a ordinary person may not walk into the Bombay Stock Exchange (for

    example), and ask to trade stock. Such an exchange must be done through a broker.

    There are three types of stock broking service.

    Execution-only, which means that the broker will only carry out the client's

    instructions to buy or sell. Advisory dealing, where the broker advises the client on which shares to buy

    and sell, but leaves the final decision to the investor.

    Discretionary dealing, where the stockbroker ascertains the client's investment

    objectives and then makes all dealing decisions on the client's behalf.

    In addition to actually trading stocks for their clients, stock brokers may also

    offer advice to their clients on which stocks, mutual funds, etc. to buy.

    TYPES OF TRADERS/INVESTORS IN THE STOCK MARKET

    INVESTORS: Those who expect minimum 30-40% appreciation and are willing to

    hold between two months to a few years. They enter only long positions and usually

    select scrip based on fundamental analysis. Medium-long term investors can utilize

    technical analysis to time their entry and profit booking better.

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    18/93

    DAY TRADERS: Day traders enter long/short traders to square up the same day.

    They usually base decisions on technical, information or at times, gut feel.

    SHORT-TERM TRADERS : Short-term traders expect 5-20% returns within 2 days

    to 3 weeks. They enter long as well as short positions. These include: Position

    trading, where one either buys a stock and holds for the required appreciation, or sellsfrom an existing long (or borrowed) position to cover at a lower level.

    The popularity of Short-term trading is on the rise due to the following reasons:

    It provides an opportunity to make substantial profits in a short period and

    ensures continuous rotation ofcapital.

    As against long-term investment, short-term trading has limited downside

    because of strict stop losses.

    One can leverage on margin in case of short-term trading in futures.

    Short-term trading in options requires smaller investment and has limited risk.

    1.6 Need and Scope for the Study

    The unique nature of capital market instruments forces the investors to depend

    strongly on the Fundamental or Technical analysis to guide them in their investment

    decisions. The technical analysis is aimed at examining the price & volume

    movements of each stock.

    It is essential that no investor can buy or sell shares on a whim. It requires a serious

    research as lot of funds are involved in the investment. The investors can be guidedwith regard to investment decisions of specific stocks to buy or sell.

    As more People are investing money in stock market, this study will be very useful to

    me in my future too. I will be able to recommend the buy calls or sell calls to

    investors/traders on any sectors by using all the technical indicators carefully.

    prediction of trend will also change.

    2.1 THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

    TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

    Technical analysis is research of market dynamics that is done mainly with the help of

    charts and with the purpose of forecasting future price development. Technical

    analysis several approaches to the study of price movement which are interconnected

    in the framework of one harmonious theory. This type of analysis studies the price

    movement on the market by means of analyzing three market factors: price, volumes,

    and, in case of future contracts market, of an open interest (number of open

    positions). Of these the primary one for technical analysis is the prices, while the

    alterations in other factors are studies mainly in order to confirm the correctness of the

    identified price trend. This technical theory, just like any theory, has its core

    postulates.

    ASSUMPTIONS

    The basic assumptions made in analyzing the share through the technical analysis

    route should be understood to grasp the subject in a proper perspective.

    The market discounts everything

    The first assumption is that the market discounts everything. This assumption

    signifies that the price at which the security is quoted represents the hopes, fear, insideinformation, muscle power et al of the participants. The financial analyst may be

    buying on the hope that the script will rise to represent its true worth (on the

    assumption that it is under-priced). The company circle may be buying on the basis

    of inside information or to support the prices, bear operators may be converting their

    short sales on the fear of a further loss and so on. All these factors are reflected in the

    price at which the scrip changes hands on the trading floor. The buyers create the

    demand for the scrip and the sellers create the supply of it. Whatever reasons prompt

    the buyer to buy and seller to sell get represented or discounted in the price that the

    buyer pays for the scrip and the seller gets for it.

    The market moves in trend

    The second important assumption is that the market moves in trends, and the trend

    when established has a tendency to continue further in time and then reverses at some

    point of time. To put it differently, the market movement is orderly and not random.

    This is the basic assumption without which analyzing share price movement would be

    meaningless.

    History keeps repeating itself

    The third assumption is that history repeats itself over again. This assumption arises

    from the fact the human psychology does not changes. In a bull market, the masspsychology that drives the prices upwards will be seen over and over again in other

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    21/93

    bull markets. On the same count, the mass psychology seen during a bear market will

    repeat itself in every successive bear market. To put this assumption differently, it

    can be stated that the mistakes made by the traders on the market will be repeated

    again and again.

    TRENDLINES

    Trend lines are straight lines draws by connecting either the tops or the bottoms. To

    draw a straight line, one requires two points. Similarly to draw trend lines, one

    requires at least two tops or bottoms. This, however, does not mean that there cannot

    be more than two tops or bottoms that can be connected to draw a trend line. In fact,

    the more the number of tops or bottoms that are touched or connected by the trend

    line, the better or more powerful the trend line. Trend lines are the simplest, yet the

    most effective way of riding the trend.

    TYPES OF TRENDLINE

    RISING TRENDLINE

    The rising trend line would represent a rising trend and is drawn by connecting

    the rising bottoms.

    FALLING TRENDLINE

    The falling trend line represents the falling trend and is `draw by connecting the

    falling tops.

    HORIZONTAL TRENDLINE

    The horizontal trend line on the other hand is a flat trend line. That represents the

    flat trend and is drawn by either Connecting the even tops or even bottoms posted by

    the scrip.

    DOW THEORY

    Three Movements

    Nothing is more certain than that the market has three well defined

    Movements which fit into each other:.

    The first is the daily variation due to local causes and the balances of buying

    and selling at that particular time (Ripple).

    The secondary movement covers a period ranging from days to weeks,

    averaging probably between six to eight weeks (Wave).

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    22/93

    The third move is the great swing covering anything forms months to years,

    averaging between 6 to 48 months. (Tide).

    Primary trends

    Bull market

    Secondary reactions

    Bull markets

    Bull markets commence with reviving confidence as business conditions

    improve.

    Price rise as the market responds to improved earnings

    Rampant speculation dominates the market and price advances are based on

    hopes and expectations rather than actual results.

    Bear markets

    Bear markets start with abandonment of the hopes and expectations that

    sustained inflated prices. Prices decline in response to disappointing earnings.

    Distress selling follows as speculators attempt to close out their positions and

    securities are sold without regard to their true value.

    Ranging Markets

    A secondary reaction may take the form of a line which may endure for

    several weeks.

    Price fluctuates within a narrow range of about five per cent.

    CHARTS

    A price chart is a sequence of prices plotted over a specific time frame. In statistical

    terms, charts are referred to as time series plots. Technicians, technical analysis and

    chartists use charts to analyze a wide array of securities and forecast future price

    movements.

    Bar Chart

    The most popular charting method is the bar chart. The high, low and close are

    required to form the price plot for each period of a bar chart. The high and low arerepresented by the top and bottom of the vertical bar and the close is the short

    horizontal line crossing the vertical bar. On a daily chart, each bar represents the

    high, low and close for a particular day. Bar charts can also be displayed using the

    open, high, low and close. The only difference is the addition of the open price,

    which is displayed as a short horizontal line extending to the left of the bar.

    Line Chart

    Some investors and traders consider the closing level to be more important than the

    open, high or low. By paying attention to only the close, intraday swings can beignored. Line charts are also used when open; high and low data points are not

    available. Sometimes only closing data are available for certain indices, thinly traded

    stocks and intraday prices.

    Candlestick Chart

    Originating in Japan over 300 years ago, candlestick charts have become quite

    popular in recent years. For a candlestick chart, the open, high, low and close are all

    required. A daily candlestick is based on the open price, the intraday high and low,

    and the close.

    Many traders and investors believe that candlestick charts are easy to read, especially

    the relationship between the open and the close. White candlesticks form when the

    close is higher than the open and black candlesticks form when the close is lower that

    the open. The white and black portion formed from the open and close is called the

    body. The lines above and below are called shadows and represent the high and low.

    TECHNICAL INDICATORS

    Technical indicators are any class of metrics value is derived from generic price

    activity in a stock or asset. Technical indicators look to predict the future price levels,

    or simply the general price direction, of a security by looking at past patterns.

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    24/93

    Examples of common technical indicators include Relative strength index, stochastic,

    MACD, Moving averages, exponential moving average.

    Technical indicators, collectively, are distinguished by the fact that they do not

    analyze any part of the fundamental business like earnings, revenue and profit

    Margins. Technical indicators are used most extensively by active traders in themarket, as they are designed primarily indicators are of little value, as they do nothing

    to shed light on the underlying business. The most effective uses of technicals for a

    long term Investor are to help identify good entry points for the stock by analyzing

    the long-term trends.

    OSCILLATORS

    Oscillators are group of countertrend, momentum based indicators that move above

    and below a horizontal axis that represents neutral market momentum. These

    indicators offer an alternative to trend following strategies and work well in non-

    trending, sideways markets Where a clear trend is not evident.

    INTERPRETATION OF OSCILLATTORS

    -They can be used as an indicator of market extremes by showing overbought and

    oversold Areas. Oscillators are often used as short term counter trend reversal

    indicators- they help to determine when a market is in an overbought or oversold

    condition. When the oscillator reaches an upper extreme, the market is considered

    oversold.

    They can indicate when a trend is losing momentum. Increasing momentum reflects apowerful price trend, while weakening suggests a possible trend reversal. Momentum

    oscillators are designed to identify these reversal points and used in both long and

    short term timeframes. Most oscillators indicators look very similar they area

    plotted along the bottom of a price Chart, with their peaks and troughs following

    those of the price chart. Some oscillators have a midpoint orzero line.

    Generally speaking, when the oscillator has reached an extreme value in the upper or

    lower end of the band, this suggests that a price reversal is becoming more likely.

    The crossing of the midpoint level or zero line is normally interpreted as a buy or sell

    signal in the direction of the trend.

    Divergence between the oscillator and price is a price is a warning of a possible

    reversal. This is the strongest and most important of all the signals provided by the

    oscillators.

    Oscillators are best used in a trending market to gauge when the market is

    oversold in an uptrend for a buy entry and overbought in a downtrend for a sell

    entry.

    The family of technical indicators known as oscillators includes: RELATIVE

    STRENGTH INDEX (RSI), STOCHASTICS, Commodity Channel Index (CCI),Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Rate of change (ROC).

    25/93

    Moving Averages

    The market does not rise or fall in a straight line. The up moves and down moves are

    interrupted by counter moves. Quite often, these counter moves are quite volatile

    making it difficult for the analyst to gauge the underlying trend of the market. In such

    situations, one way to gauge the underlying trend is to smooth the data which can bedone with the help of moving averages.

    There are three types of moving averages that are commonly used by the Analyst

    1. Simple Moving Average

    2. Exponential Moving Average

    3. Weighted Moving Average

    The word moving means that the body of data moves ahead to include the recent

    observation. If it is five day moving average, on the sixth day the body of data moves

    to include the sixth day observation eliminating the first days observation. Likewiseit continues. In the moving average calculation closing prices is used.

    The moving averages are used to study the movement of the market as well as

    individual scrip price. The moving average indicates the underlying trend in the

    scrip. The period of average determines the period of the trend is that being

    identified. For identifying short-term trend, 10 day to 30day moving averages are

    used. In the case of medium trend 50 day to 125 days are adopted. 200 day moving

    average is used to identifying long term trend.

    Simple Moving average

    To calculate a five day average, one has to add the five days closings prices and

    divide the total by five. The result obtained is a five day simple moving average. On

    the sixth day, the closing price of the first day will be deducted from the total of the

    previous five days and the sixth days closing prioce will be added. Again the new

    total has to be divided by five to get thwe five day simple moving average on the sixth

    day. This process is continued further as one progresses ahead in time.

    Formula :

    Moving average = sum of n numbers of days price / n no. of days

    Exponential Moving Average

    The exponential moving average gives the recent prices an equal weighting to the

    historic ones. The calculation does not refer to a fixed period, but rather takes all

    available data series into account. This is achieved by subtracting yesterdays

    Exponential Moving Average from todays price. Adding this result to yesterdays

    Exponential Moving Average, results in todays moving average. The initial EMA is

    based on a Simple Moving Average.

    An Exponential Moving Average is another type of moving Average. In a simpleMoving Average, the price data have an equal weight in the computation of the

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    26/93

    average. Also, in a Simple Moving Average, the oldest price data are removed from

    the Moving Average as a new price is added to the computation. The Exponential

    Moving Average assigns a weight to the price data as a average is calculated. Thus,

    the oldest price data in the Exponential Moving Average are never removed, but they

    have only a minimal impact on the moving average. The main use of this study is its

    smoothing out function. In this way, the moving average removes short termflexuations and leaves to view the prevailing trend.

    The Exponential Moving Average can be used as a crossover system. For a

    crossover system, you may insert three different Exponential Moving Average.

    Generally, the lengths for this Moving Average are short, intermediate and long term.

    A buy signal occurs when the short and intermediate term averages cross from below

    to above the longer term average. Conversely, a sell signal is issued when the short

    and intermediate term averages from above to below the longer term average.

    Another trading approach is to use the current price concept. If the current price is

    above the Exponential Moving Average, you buy liquidate that position when acurrent price crosses below either moving average. For a short position, sell when the

    current price is below the Exponential Moving Average. Liquidate that position when

    a current price rises above the Exponential Moving Average.

    Calculation

    Formula 1.

    EMA n-1 2/ (n+1) * (Pn-EMAn-1))

    EMA n-1 - Previous EMA value

    Pn - Todays close price

    Formula 2.

    EMA (n) = (Price Today) x K + (EMA Yesterday) x (1-K)

    N = Time Range (e.g . . . 10 days)

    K= 2 / (n+1)

    RATE OF CHANGE

    The Rate of Change indicator or the ROC, as it is popularly known, is an oscillator

    that measures the rate of change between the current price and the price n number

    of days in the past. This oscillator is by far the most widely used indicator to gauge

    the overbought and oversold positions in a scrip. It is also quite useful in identifying

    trend reversal.

    In calculating this oscillator, only the closing prices are generally used. Thus, if one

    wants to calculate the daily ROC, one has to use the daily closing prices and forcalculating the weekly ROC, the weekly closing prices are used and so on. The most

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    27/93

    popular time period for calculating the ROC is the 12-day or the 12week or 12

    month period.

    There are two broad methods of calculating this oscillator.

    First method

    Take the current closing price and express this price as a percentage of the price

    twelve days/weeks in the past. Suppose the price on any day is Rs. 12 and the price

    twelve days ago was Rs. 10, the ROC will be obtained by using the

    equation:12/10*100 = 120%.

    Ist method for calculating ROC =

    Second Method

    In this method, the percentage variation between the current price and the price twelvedays in the past is calculated. Thus, in our example. The 12 day rate of change will

    calculated by the equation:

    12/10*100-100 = 20%. It may be noted that while calculating the ROC by the this

    method, one will arrive at positive and negative values for ROC.

    IInd method for calculating ROC = 100

    RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX (RSI)

    Timing is crucial in investment management. Here, the Relative Strength Index

    popularly known as RSI helps. RSI was developed by Wells Wilder. It is an oscillator

    used to identifying the inherent technical strength or weakness in a particular scrip.

    Before going further, it needs to be clarified that his oscillator should not be confused

    with the RSC indicator. The RSC or the relative strength comparative is the ratio of

    two prices different scrips and the RSI is calculated for a particular scrip by using the

    following formula.

    RSI = 100 (100/1+RS)

    Where, RS =

    The average gain or loss per day is, in turn, arrived at by adding up the gains or losses

    per day, calculated by comparing the closing price on a day with that of the preceding

    day, ( mind you, gain and losses have to be added separately And not merged) and

    then dividing the total of gains or losses by the period for which RSI is calculated.

    The RSI can be calculated for any number of days depending on the fancy of the

    technical analyst and the time frame of trading. The most commonly used time period

    is the 14day RSI. However, it some analyst use 5-day RSI, 7-day RSI or even a 9-day

    RSI for quick trading. In general, it can be stated that the greater the time period, the

    lower would be the volume of whipsaws (incorrect signals). On the other hand, when

    the period is shorter, signals are generated earlier, though with a weekly or monthly

  • 8/7/2019 AN ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED EQUITIES IN NSE

    28/93

    basis or monthly basis. For calculating the daily RSI, the daily closing prices are

    monthly RSI, one has to use the monthly closing prices.

    MOVING AVERAGE CONVERGENCE AND DIVERGENCE (MACD)

    The Moving Average convergence and divergence (MACD), as the name suggests,measures the convergence and divergence between two exponential moving averages.

    Or put simply, it is the difference between two moving averages. In the system, two

    moving averages of varying periods are calculating with the helping of the closing

    price data. Of the two, one is the short term moving average and the other is the

    longer-term moving average.

    The MACD would represent the absolute difference between the short-term moving

    average and the long-term moving average. This difference is plotted on the y-axis

    and x-axis would represent the days. If one wants to calculate the weekly MACD,

    one would obviously have to consider the weekly averages (based on weekly closing

    prices).

    There are two popular combinations of averages, the first one is the 12-day and 26-

    day exponential averages and the second one the 12-day and 48-day exponential

    averages. Now, another is generally superimposed over this graph. Here, for the

    combination of the 12 and 26-day exponential averages, the of s 9-day exponential

    average is quite popular and in the 12-day and 48-day exponential average

    combination, the use of a simple 10-day average is quite popular.

    The average that is superimposed is calculated with the help of the MACD data i.e. it

    is the average of the MACD date. The MACD line is so constructed that it oscillates

    across the zero line. It may be noted that we have given the popular averages that

    used, but readers are advised to use various combinations to arrive at the best suited to

    their system of trading.

    STOCHASTICS

    The Stochastics process developed by George Lane is an important tool for taking

    short-term positions in the market. If the share price analysis is confirmed by the

    Stochastics indicators, one may trade with confidence. However, if the share price

    analysis and the Stochastics indicator are at variance, one should remain on the

    sidelines till indicator agrees with the share price analysis. This is not an indicatorthat should be used as an excuse to trend but on the contrary, it should be used

    identify trading opportunities along the trend.

    Stochastics oscillator is generally observed that as the prices of stock increase, the

    closing prices tend to be nearer to the upper end of the price range. AS prices fall, the

    closing prices tend to be nearer to the lower end of the price range. Based on this

    observation George Lane (former president of investment Educators, Inc.)Formulated

    the Stochastics process.

    In the Stochastics process. There are two lines -%K and %D. The %K line is the4

    faster of two and the %D line is the slower one. Based on the method of construction,the %D line will always lag behind %K line. Also, %K and %D would take values

    between Zero and 100. In other words, both the lines would oscillate between zero

    and 100.

    The general time frame used for the calculation of stochastics is

    5days/weeks/months. However, there are analysts who use other time frames to suit

    their system of share trading. Reader are advised to experiment with different timeframes and arrive at the best suited to their method of trading. We shall explain the

    construction of Stochastics for a time period of five days.

    The formula used for construction of %K line is

    %K = 100 {(c-L5)/(H5-L5)}

    Here, C = Latest closing price

    L5 = lowest price touched by the scrip during the last five days.

    H5 = the highest price touched by the scrip during the last five days.

    The formula used for the construction of %D line is

    %D = 100 x (H3/L3)

    Here, H3 = three day sum of (C - L5)

    L3 = three day sum of (H5 L5)

    There are two parameters for stochastic:

    1. The number of periods over which the raw stochastic is calculated.

    Usually 14, 9, or 20.

    2. The smoothing factor for the calculation of percent K and percent D.

    Usually 3, 5, or 6.

    There are several ways to interpret Stochastic Indicators. Three popular

    methods include:

    Buy when the %k or %d falls below a specific level (usually 20 or 30%) and thenrises above that level. Sell when either %k or %d rises above a specific level (usually

    70 or 80%) and then falls below that level.

    Buy when the %k line rises above the %d line and sell when the %k line falls below

    the %d line. Readings below 20 are considered oversold and readings above 80 are

    considered overbought. However, Lane did not believe that a reading above 80 was

    necessarily bearish or a reading below 20 bullish. A security can continue to rise after

    the Stochastic Oscillator has reached 80 and continue to fall after the Stochastic

    Oscillator has reached 20. One of the most reliable signals is to wait for a divergence

    to develop from overbought or oversold levels. Once the oscillator reaches

    overbought levels, wait for a negative divergence to develop and then a cross below80. This usually requires a double dip below 80 and the second dip results in the sell

    signal. For a buy signal, wait for a positive divergence to develop after the indicator

    moves below 20. Stochastic should be used in conjunction with other aspects or

    technical analysis as well as other non-momentum based indicators.

    2.2 Review Of literature

    Brown and Jennings (1989) showed that technical analysis has value in a model in

    which prices are not fully revealing and traders have rational conjectures about the

    relation between prices and signals. Frankel and Froot (1990) showed evidence for the

    rising importance of chartists. Neftci (1991) showed that a few of the rules used in

    technical analysis generate well-defined techniques of forecasting, but even well-

    defined rules were shown to be useless in prediction if the economic time series is

    Gaussian. However, if the processes under consideration are non-linear, then the rules

    might capture some information. Tests showed that this may indeed be the case for

    the moving average rule.

    Taylor and Allen (1992) report the results of a survey among chief foreign exchange

    dealers based in London in November 1988 and found that at least 90 per cent of

    respondents placed some weight on technical analysis, and that there was a skew

    towards using technical, rather than fundamental, analysis at shorter time horizons.

    In a comprehensive and influential study Brock, Lakonishok and LeBaron (1992)

    analysed 26 technical trading rules using 90 years of daily stock prices from the Dow

    Jones Industrial Average up to 1987 and found that they all outperformed the market.

    Blume, Easley and OHara (1994) show that volume provides information on

    information quality that cannot be deduced from the price. They also show that traders

    who use information contained in market statistics do better than traders who do not.

    Neely (1997) explains and reviews technical analysis in the foreign exchange

    market.Neely, Weller and Dittmar (1997) use genetic programming to find technical

    trading rules in foreign exchange markets. The rules generated economically

    significant out-of-sample excess returns for each of six exchange rates, over the

    period 19811995.

    Lui and Mole (1998) report the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in

    February 1995 on the use by foreign exchange dealers in Hong Kong of fundamental

    and technical analyses. They found that over 85% of respondents rely on both

    methods and, again, technical analysis was more popular at shorter time horizons.

    Neely (1998) reconciles the fact that using technical trading rules to trade against US

    intervention in foreign exchange markets can be profitable, yet, longterm, the

    intervention tends to be profitable. LeBaron (1999) shows that, when using technical

    analysis in the foreign exchange market, after removing periods in which the Federal

    Reserve is active, exchange rate predictability is dramatically reduced.

    Lo, Mamaysky andWang (2000) examines the effectiveness of technical analysis on

    US stocks from 1962 to 1996 and finds that over the 31-year sample period, several

    technical indicators do provide incremental information and may have some practical

    value.

    Fernandez-Rodrguez, Gonzalez-Martel and Sosvilla-Rivero (2000) apply an

    artificial neural network to the Madrid Stock Market and find that, in the absence of

    trading costs, the technical trading rule is always superior to a buyand- hold strategy

    for both bear market and stable market episodes, but not in a bull market. One

    criticism I have is that beating the market in the absence of costs seems of little

    significance unless one is interested in finding a signal which will later beincorporated into a full system. Secondly, it is perhaps nave to work on the premise

    that bull and bear markets exist. Lee and Swaminathan (2000) demonstrate the

    importance of past trading volume. Neely and Weller (2001) use genetic

    programming to show that technical trading rules can be profitable during US foreign

    exchange intervention. Cesari and Cremonini (2003) make an extensive simulation

    comparison of popular dynamic strategies of asset allocation and find that technical

    analysis only performs well in Pacific markets.

    Cheol-Ho Park and Scott H. Irwin wrote The profitability of technical analysis: A

    review Park and Irwin (2004), an excellent review paper on technical analysis.

    Kavajecz and Odders-White (2004) show that support and resistance levels coincide

    with peaks in depth on the limit order book 1 and moving average forecasts reveal

    information about the relative position of depth on the book. They also show that

    these relationships stem from technical rules locating depth already in place on the

    limit order book.

    CHART 1

    Inference:

    The chart shows that 10 days moving average and market price from JAN 1st

    2009- Mar 31st 2009. From the chart we can infer that the 10 days moving average has

    intersected the market price on JAN 7th 2009 and the market price have fallen below

    the 10 days moving average, hence a bearish trend followed. If the market price is

    above the 10 days moving average than the trend will be bullish.

    The current market price of Rs.937.4 is greater than the 10 days moving average

    of Rs.922.75 therefore the trend reversal is expected. The trend will be bullish with

    effect from Mar 31st 2009.

    CHART 5:

    Inference:

    This chart shows the % K and % D stochastic from JAN 1st 2008 to MAR 31th

    2009. From the chart we can infer that there are more over bought position than the

    over sold. When %K or %D is below 20 then the share are over sold in that period. If

    the %K or %D is above 80 then the shares are over bought. When % K or % D is at

    75% to 85% then it is the best time to sell shares or grow short. When % K or %D is

    at 15% then it is the best buy signal. As the % D has fallen to below 20% on Jan 12

    th

    2009. A bearish trend is predicted.

    Recently there was an over sold position, the % D was 96% on Mar 26th 2009 and

    then decreased to 68% on Mar 31th 2009. Negative divergence was formed, hence the

    trend will reverse. A bearish trend is follow
