2. k. Future growth & prospectus:
Financial services companies will continue to play a significant role in the country’s financial
sector as the economy gradually grows. With the domestic economy gradually expected to get
back on track, it seems that new opportunities will continue to unfold for the Indian Financial
services industry in the form of new financial products, heightened per capita income and
increasing investor interest in the near future.
During the last few years India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing economies.
India’s stock markets grew not only in size but also in terms of product offerings. The
Financial services companies have also diversified to other businesses like investment
banking and wealth management, Advisory services, Portfolio Management Services (PMS),
The Financial services industry is poised for a quantum growth in the medium to long term
because the economy is moderately strong; equity culture is proliferating; new products are
hitting the markets; there is wider integration with global markets, and more thrust on
reforms. The Indian stock markets’ long existence, for over almost one and- a-half centuries,
has enabled the Financial services industry to not only absorb and adopt new opportunities
but also seamlessly improvise their systems, which has paved the way for its growth and
diversification.

markets in India. These market segments recently started in India they yet grow significantly.
These currency futures & interest rate futures markets are larger in terms of volume over the

3.-Mckensy’s 7s Frame work
7-S Model - a Systemic Approach to Improving Organizations
The 7-S-Model is better known as McKinsey 7-S. This is because the two persons who
developed this model, Tom Peters and Robert Waterman, have been consultants at McKinsey
& Co at that time. The model starts on the premise that an organization is not just Structure,
but consists of seven elements.
The 7-S diagram illustrates the multiplicity interconnectedness of elements that define an
organization's ability to change. The theory helped to change manager's thinking about how
companies could be improved. It says that it is not just a matter of devising a new strategy and
following it through. Nor is it a matter of setting up new systems and letting them generate
improvements.
To be effective, your organization must have a high degree of fit or internal alignment
among all the seven Ss. Each S must be consistent with and reinforce the other Ss. All Ss are
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 13
interrelated, so a change in one has a ripple effect on all the others. It is impossible to make
progress on one without making progress on all.
The seven S’s of the model are distinguished into Hard S’s and Soft S’s. The hard elements
are feasible and easy to identify as they can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans,
organizational charts and other documentations of the company. They include:
Strategy
System
Structure
The soft S’s are hardly feasible because of difficulty involved in describing them as
capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are frequently developing and changing.
The elements of soft S’s are:
Style
Staff
Skills
Shared values
SYSTEM:
System includes formal and informal procedures that support the strategy and
structure. In other words, it is the process and flows that show how an organization gets its

various market players. This leads to the reduction of brokerage commission to the
companies and it has significant negative impact on the companies overall profitability.
Global recession & economic slowdown in world markets:
Economic slowdown & recession in the global financial markets will create negative
impact on the investment related activities. During the recent economic slowdown &
recession in the US market has reduced the participation of the investors significantly
and globally all the stock markets are declined significantly.
Increasing inflation:
Increase in the inflation rate will have negative impact over the stock market. An
increase in the inflation reduces flow money into the stock market there by the stock
market fall because of lack of liquidity in the financial markets.
Lack of liquidity in system:
Reduction in the flow of money into the system leads to the illiquidity in the market
and fall in the stock prices significantly. Availability of money in the country or
system have greater impact over the stock market movements.

It can be observed from the Balance sheet that company has increased its equity share capital
& reduced its preferential share capital for the last few years. The reserves and surplus of the
company has been increasing year by year. Company’s both secured loans & unsecured loans
increased heavily, company is highly leveraged. Company’s investments, fixed deposits and
loans & advances increased significantly over the years. The debtors have been increasing
year by year and company’s cash balance is fluctuating. We can observe that the total asset is
increased tremendously compared to last two years. It can also be observed that company has
current assets more than twice the current liability which is ideal current ratio for a company.
And book value of the share also increased over a period.
6. Learning experience:
Globalization has made stock market or financial markets very much complex and it is vast
area or field. It requires lot of knowledge, information and experience about the business or
financial markets to trade in markets or predict the market movements. The rules, regulations
& trading strategies are continuously changes with the changing financial or global markets.
This project helped me in several ways, during the project I learned many new things which
are all beyond the theoretical knowledge or bookish/class room knowledge and some of the
such things are,
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 27
During the project I came to know about, how exactly work done in stock broking or
financial services companies, how all the employees coordinate each other during the
work in company. And also came to know what are their responsibilities at various
level of work mainly in interaction with the customer & providing the services to them
as front office executives (FOE) & back office executives (BOE).
This project helps me to apply the technical analysis to stock market to predict the
market behavior and to make best analysis about the future movements of stock
market.
This project helped me in understanding the how actually stock market works in
practically. And it provided the opportunities to apply the theoretical aspects to real
stock market situations.
During the project I have learned how to identify the trends in stock markets whether it
is primary trend, intermediatery (medium term) trend or short term trend. Identifying
these trends are very important to form the right trading strategies for various types of
investors such as short term investors or traders or medium term to long term investors.
This project provided the lot of information about how actually trading takes place and
about the usage of various trading strategies by various types of investors.
This project helped me to study various chart patterns of technical analysis to gain
inside knowledge about market movements and forecast about market direction based
on the market psychology.
The study of technical analysis helps me in identifying the stocks and decides when to
buy a particular stock, at what price. And what should be the stop loss as well as target
for that particular stock.

1. a. General Introduction:
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 29
PART-B
Introduction of Technical Analysis:
Technical analysis is the study of past or historical price & volume movements so as to
predict the future stock price movements or behaviour. The rationale behind technical analysis
is that share price behavior repeats itself over time & an analysts attempts to derive methods to
predict this repetition. The past share prices are the major data used by technical analysts,
other statistics such as volume of trading & stock market indices are also utilized to some
extent. The basic premise of technical analysis is that price move in trends or waves which
may be upward or downward. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of
stocks and markets are indications of future performance.
Technical analysis is applicable to stocks, indices, commodities, futures or any
tradable instrument where the price is influenced by the forces of supply and demand. Price
refers to any combination of the open, high, low or close for a given security over a specific
timeframe. The time frame can be based on intraday (tick, 5-minute, 15-minute or hourly),
daily, weekly or monthly price data and last a few hours or many years.
Assumptions in technical analysis
The market discounts everything – All known information about a market is reflected in the
price. In other words, all the present political, economic, psychological and any other type of
information pertinent to the market price is already discounted or priced in.
Prices move in trends - When a price moves in a particular direction, be it up or down, it will
continue to trend in that direction till some news changes market perception of future direction
sand reverses the trend itself. To sum up the markets move in the path of least resistance.
History repeats itself - This assumption arises from the fact that mass psychology does not
change. Markets overextend because of the herd instinct leading to panic and euphoria time
and again.
Basic Premises
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 30
The basic premises underlying technical analysis are as follows.
Market prices are determined by the interaction of supply and demand forces.
Supply and Demand are influenced by a variety of factors, both rational and irrational.
These include Fundamental factors and psychological factors.
Barring minor deviations, stock prices tend to move in fairly persistent trends.
Shifts in demand and supply bring about changes in trends.
Irrespective of why they occur, shifts in demand and supply can be detected with the
help of charts of market action.
Because of the persistence of trends and patterns, analysis of past market data be used
to predict future price behavior.
Chart Types:
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. On the chart, the y-axis (vertical axis) represents
the price scale and the x-axis (horizontal axis) represents the time scale. Prices are plotted
from left to right across the x-axis with the most recent plot being the furthest right.
Technicians, technical analysts and chartists use variety of charts to analyze a wide array of
securities and forecast future price movements. Some of the important charts are discussed
here.
Bar Chart:
Perhaps 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 are represented
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.
Weekly charts would have a bar for each week based on Friday's close and the high and low
for that week
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 31
Candlestick charting: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. A weekly
candlestick is based on Monday's open, the weekly high-low range and Friday's close.
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 32
Many traders and investors believe that candlestick charts are easy to read, especially the
relationship between the open and the close. White (clear) candlesticks form when the close is
higher than the open and black (solid) candlesticks form when the close is lower than the
open. The white and black portion formed from the open and close is called the body (white
body or black body). The lines above and below are called shadows and represent the high and
low.
Point and Figure Chart:The charting methods shown above, all, plot one data point for each period of time. No
matter how much price movement, each day or week represented is one point, bar, or
candlestick along the time scale. Even if the price is unchanged from day to day or week to
week, a dot, bar, or candlestick is plotted to mark the price action. Contrary to this
methodology, point & figure charts are based solely on price movement, and do not take
time into consideration.
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 33
Chart Pattern:
A chart pattern is a distinct formation on a stock chart that creates a trading signal, or a sign
of future price movements. Chartists use these patterns to identify current trends and trend
reversals and to trigger buy and sell signals. There are several types of patterns within this
area of technical analysis, which are explained as follows.
Rising Trend:
A rising trend is an upward zigzag of price movement that results when the bulls are
in control. We define the trend, as well as postulate future price movement, by drawing a
line across the rising bottoms. To further clarify the boundaries of the price activity, we can
also draw a line, which is parallel to the rising bottoms line, across the rising tops. This
forms the trend channel, which allows us to set targets for future tops and bottoms in the
trend by estimating where the price index will intercept the top and bottom of the channel. A
rising trend is not "official" until there is a bottom above a bottom and a top above a top.
In this chart we can see a fairly well-defined rising trend channel. Also, within the
channel we can see shorter-term rising trend lines.
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 34
Declining trend
A declining trend is a downward zigzag of price movement that results when the bears
are in control. We define the trend, as well as postulate future price movement, by drawing a
line across the declining tops. To further clarify the boundaries of the price activity, we can
also draw a line, which is parallel to the declining tops line, across the declining bottoms. This
form the trend channel, which allows us to set targets for future tops and bottoms in the trend
by estimating where the price index will intercept the top and bottom of the channel.
A declining trend is not "official" until there is a top below a top and a bottom below a
bottom. In this chart we can see a fairly well-defined declining trend channel. Also, within the
channel we can see shorter-term declining trend lines. When the declining trend line is
violated (the price index crosses up through the line), we consider the trend to have ended.
Support and Resistance:
Once a price index forms a significant top or bottom, we can draw a horizontal line
through it to project future levels of support and resistance. When the price index is above
such levels, they are considered to be areas of support. If the price index is below the line, it is
considered to be resistance. Support is caused by underlying demand from buyers who finally
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 35
see an attractive price, while resistance is the result of overhead supply from sellers wishing to
exit. When prices trend sideways, we will often see a channel formed by the resistance above
and the support below. (Not surprisingly, we also think of rising and falling trend channels as
being bounded by support and resistance.)
One of the great consolidations of all time took place in the 1960s and 1970s, a 20-year
period needed to digest the bull market rise from the 1932 low.
Double Top:
The double top formation is bearish and often follows an initial sell Signal resulting from the
penetration of the third and steepest rising trend line in an accelerated growth phase. After the
breakdown from the initial top, price struggles back for a second top, then breaks down again,
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 36
failing to overcome the overhead resistance. It is best to get out at the first sell Signal, as it
may be the only warning you get. It is a bad idea to wait for the second top, because it may not
happen; however, the move toward the second top can provide another opportunity for the
recalcitrant stockholder to exit the position with most of his profits intact.
Head and Shoulders Top:
The bearish HEAD AND SHOULDERS pattern is often talked about, but seldom seen. The
"neckline" is drawn under the two bottoms that separate the head from the shoulders. A SELL
Signal is given when the neckline is penetrated downward. From that point the estimated
downside target is equal to the distance between the top of the head and the neckline.
In late 1994 SNPL became a buyout target with an offering price of about $14, indicating the
excess of overvalue ($32) to which investors in a buying frenzy had driven the stock.
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 37
Statistical Tools:
Simple Moving Average:
The market indices do not rise or fall in straight line. The upward and downward are
interrupted by counter moves. The underlying trend can be studied by smoothening of the
data. To smooth the data moving average technique is used.
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 day’s observation. Likewise it continues.
In the moving average calculation, closing price of the stock is used
Types of Moving Average:
There are a number of different types of moving averages that vary in the way they
are calculated, but how each average is interpreted remains the same. The calculations only
differ in regards to the weighting that they place on the price data, shifting from equal
weighting of each price point to more weight being placed on recent data. The three most
common types of moving averages are simple, linear and exponential.
In this study Simple moving average is used. A simple moving average is formed
by computing the average (mean) price of a security over a specified number of periods.
While it is possible to create moving averages from the Open, the High, and the Low data
points, most moving average are created using the closing price. For example: a 5-day
simple moving average is calculated by adding the closing prices for the last 5 days and
dividing the total by 5.
10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 60
(60 / 5) = 12
The calculation is repeated for each price bar on the chart. The averages are then
joined to form a smooth curving line - the moving average line. Continuing our example, if
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 38
the next closing price in the average is 15, then this new period would be added and the
oldest day, which is 10, would be dropped. The new 5-day simple moving average would be
calculated as follows:
11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 = 65
(65 / 5) = 13
Over the last 2 days, the SMA moved from 12 to 13. As new days are added, the old days
will be subtracted and the moving average will continue to move over time.
Stock Price and Moving Averages of Stock Prices:
Buy and sell signals are provided by the moving averages. Moving averages are used along
with the price of the scrip. The stock price may intersect the moving average at a particular
point. Downward penetration of the rising average indicates the possibility of a further fall.
Upward penetration of a falling average would indicate the possibility of the further rise and
gives the buy signal.
Comparison of The Two Moving Averages:
When long term and short term moving averages are drawn, the intersection of two
moving averages generates buy or sell signal. When the scrip price is falling and if the short
term average intersects the long term moving average from above and falls below it, the sell
signal is generated.
If the scrip price is rising, the short term average would be above the long term
average. The short term average intersects the long term average from below indicating a
further rise in price, gives a buy signal.
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 39
Oscillators:
Oscillators indicate the market momentum or scrip momentum. Oscillator shows the
share price movement across a reference point from one extreme to another. The momentum
indicates:
Overbought and oversold conditions of the scrip or the market.
Signaling the possible trend reversal.
Rise or decline in the momentum.
Oscillators are analyzed along with the price chart. Oscillators indicate trend reversals
that have to be confirmed with the price movement of the scrip. Changes in the price should
be correlated to changes in the momentum, and then only buy and sell signals can be
generated. With the daily, weekly or monthly closing prices oscillators are built. For short
term trading, daily price oscillators are useful.
Relative Strength Index:
RSI is an oscillator used to identify the inherent technical strength and weakness of a
particular scrip or market. RSI can be calculated for scrip by adopting the following formula.
RSI = {100 – [100/ (1 + RS)]}
RS =Average Gain per Day/ Average Loss per Day
The RSI can be calculated for any number of days depending on the wish of the
technical analyst and the time frame of trading adopted in a particular stock market. RSI is
calculated for 5, 7, 9 and 14 days. If the period taken for calculation is more, the possibility
of getting wrong signals is reduced.
The broad rule is, if the RSI crosses seventy there may be downturn and it is
time to sell. If the RSI falls below thirty it is time to pick up the script. If the RSI is rising in
the overbought zone, it would indicate the downfall of the price. If RSI falls in the
overbought zone, it gives a clear signal of sell. This condition occurs after a sharp rise in
price during a period of heavy buying. When the RSI is in the oversold region, it generates
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 40
the buy signal. The term oversold is used to describe a security or market that has declined
to an unreasonably low level.
Rate of Change:
ROC measures the rate of change between the current price and the price ‘n’ number
of days in the past. ROC helps to find out the overbought and oversold positions in scrip.
Closing prices are used to calculate the ROC. Daily closing prices are used for the daily
ROC and weekly closing prices for weekly ROC. In this study I have used weekly closing
prices for calculation.
The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator is a very simple yet effective momentum
oscillator that measures the percent change in price from one period to the next. The (ROC)
calculation compares the current price with the price n periods ago.
ROC = ((Today’s close – Close n periods ago) / (Close n periods ago)) * 100
The main advantage of ROC is the identification of overbought and oversold region. The
historic high and low values of the ROC should be identified at first to locate the overbought
and oversold region. If the scrip’s ROC reaches the historic high values, the scrip is in the
overbought region. If the scrip’s ROC reaches the historic low value, the scrip is in the
oversold region.

Data Analysis and Interpretation:
Short Term(10 day) & Long Term(200 day) simple Moving Average of
EDELWEISS:
The above chart consisting of closing price, 10 days moving average and also 200days
moving average. The chart is having 3 curves, the blue curve is showing that each
day’s closing price.
The red colored curve shows a 10 days moving average. This is starting from 20th April
2010. The short term curve i.e. 10 days moving average is moving along with closing
price curve.
The closing price line has intersected by the short term moving average from the below
which indicates further rise and gives buy signal during May with average value
Rs.285.
The closing price line has intersected the short term moving average from the above that
indicates the possibility of further fall, so it shows sell signal during mid June 2009 with
the average price Rs.490.And near 500, it acted as a resistance in November & January.
The 200 day long term average is below than short term and closing price till January
2010 after that it’s higher than that of other curves. In mid January closing price & short
term moving average moves below the long term moving averages that indicates the
bearishness in market & that gives sell signal for long term investors.
Rate of Change (ROC) of EDELWEISS:
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 45
Red line is the rate of change for 10 days and blue line is of closing price.
If the scrip’s ROC reaches the historic high values, the scrip is in overbought region &
in oversold region if it reaches historic low value.
Here in above chart the scrip is in overbought region during May mid 2009, & in
January 2010, then it generated the sell signal.
During May, July 2009 mid and February end, it is in oversold region and the stock
price has touched to low & there generated the buy signal.
The chart is showing that the ROC is moving towards the oversold region from
June2009 to July 2009 and closing price line is also decreasing.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)of EDELWEISS:
Department of Management Studies-DSCE Page 46
In the above chart RSI is calculated for 14 days which has been shown in red
line and the closing price of the stock has been shown in blue line.
The broad rule, if RSI crosses 70,that indicates overbought position there may
be downturn ahead & it gives the sell signal. If RSI falls below 30,that
indicates the oversold position & gives buy signal.
During June-09 and January-2010 the RSI line is in oversold region, and the
stock prices are at high, which has generated the sell signal.
During July-09 mid, and March-2010 the RSI is in oversold region so it is
time to buy and stock price is at low which is given bullish trend signal.
In the month of June to July the RSI is declining and the stock price is also
declining.
