selling. Stock prices move in trends and cycles and are never stable. An investor in the stock
market is interested to get a good return on his investment and hence purchases securities at a
low price and sells them at a high price. However, to gain successfully return on investments
in a volatile stock market is not an easy job to do. An investor should adequate knowledge
about the working of the stock and securities market and the kind of risks involved in it. Well
defined information about securities being traded in the markets, its fluctuation in prices

INTRODUCTION
The bank interest rates have been increasing steadily but we cannot ignore that
Inflation rate has also been increasing. The impact of inflation is that the value of money is
decreasing and cost of living is increasing. For example at an inflation rate of 15% the
monthly expenses of Rs. 30000 would increase to Rs. 38288 after 5 years, Rs. 62,368 after 15
years and Rs. 79,599 after 20 years. In the similar way the value of Rs. 100000 at an inflation
rate of 15% would reduce to to Rs. 78,353 after 5 years, Rs. 48,102 after 15 years and Rs.
37,689 after 20 years. This throws light on the fact that just having made savings in banks is
not a financially prudent decision. So, the investors are now searching for proper investment
avenues which possess both safety of principal and give good return on investments.
In 2014, the Indian capital markets were one of the best performing markets globally.
The BSE Sensex rose a whopping 30% this year, its highest gain in five years. Mid- and
small-cap indices have performed much better, with 50% and 70% gains, respectively. Going
ahead, India is expected to continue the good show in 2015. Here comes the role fundamental
and technical analysis of stocks which facilitate investors make better decisions. This study
particularly concentrates on technical analysis of stocks and assists the readers in
understanding the use of charts and technical indicators in short term stock market trading.
The stock market indicators help the investor to identify price behaviour and major
market turning points. Any investor must definitely consider technical analysis as a tool
whether to buy or sell a stock at a particular point of time. The objective of the project is to

on whether to buy or sell them by using techniques.

Where
Factor = 2/ (n+1)
and n = number of days from which the average is to be calculated.
The moving averages are plotted on the price charts. The curved line joining these
moving averages represent the trend line. When the price of the share intersects and
moves above or below this trendline, it may be taken as the first sign of trend reversal.
c. Rate of Change Indicator (ROC)
ROC helps to indentify overbought and oversold conditions and also the possibility of
trend reversals. It measures the rate of change of the current price as compared to
price a certain number of days or weeks back.
