This report brings you a sample of key details from the capital markets and some
macroeconomic variables that are related to it. This report primarily focuses on the Indian Capital
market with more impetus given on key ratios governing the same. An analysis of stock market
capitalization to GDP ratio is done to find out the historical valuation of Indian stock market and
their present valuation. To further corroborate the findings, an analysis of Sensex PE ratio is also
done.
A study has been done to find out the correlation between the two biggest stock market of
India, i.e., Sensex and Nifty. This report also focuses on the general economic situation in India,
and its relation to the Maslows hierarchy of needs. Analysis of the stock movements of HDFC
is also given in this report.
Along with the fundamental analysis, this report also shows the importance of technical
analysis and its key indicators. There are more than 100 tools and indicators that are used in
technical analysis but I have focused mainly on moving average, moving average convergence
divergence (MACD), relative stre ngth index (RSI) and Williams % R.
Finally the report throws light on the importance of candlesticks as a tool for delivery
trading. A comparison between two different trading strategies is done to find out which one
is more profitable over a one year period. Based on that a candlestick chart analysis of Nifty 50
stock futures is done using hourly data.

Indian Capital Market since liberalization has undergone tremendous changes and
ha s evolved as a vibrant system of investment flows. A dynamic capital market is an
important segment of the financial system of any country as it plays a significant role in
mobilizing savings and channeling them for productive purposes. The efficient fund allocation
depends on the stock market efficiency in pricing the different securities traded in it.
The project has been divided into two parts- fundamental analysis and technical
analysis. This has been done because it has often been said that an ideal trading system would be to
use both fundamental and technical analysis in tandem prior to making an investment.
The first part of the project deals with fundamental analysis and certain key
macroeconomic variables that are important prior to making an investment. The first of these
ratios is the market capitalization to GDP ratio which indicates the overall condition of the
market. It is a ratio that is used to find out if the market is undervalued or overvalued. The second
important ratio is the price to earnings ratio of Sensex, which indicates how much the investor is
willing to pay per rupee earning of the company. The next part of fundamental analysis deals
with Maslows hierarchy of needs and its importance in making investment decisions. This part
of the project deals specifically with the Indian population and where they lie on the Maslows
hierarchy of needs level.
The second part of the project deals with technical analysis and its importance to
generate buy and sell signals at key points. A One year study of 15 scrips is done using an
important technical indicator i.e., Exponential Moving Averages through two different strategies to
generate delivery based calls. Similarly, a one year study is done on Nifty 50 scrips to generate
long and short calls for Delivery trading.
Introduction to Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is a process of looking at a business at the basic or fundamental
financial level. The primary assumption of fundamental analysis is that the all the factors are not
-

6 | P a g e
discounted in the current market price. There is something called the intrinsic value of the stock
which is its true value. Fundamental analysis also assumes that the market will reach its true
intrinsic value in the long term and hence the market value and the intrinsic value will reach
equilibrium. Hence if the market value at present is lower than its intrinsic value, then it is good time
to invest and vice versa.
The steps involved in fundamental analysis are:
1. Macroeconomic analysis, which involves considering currencies, commodities and
indices.
2. Industry sector analysis, which involves the analysis of companies that are a part of the
sector.
3. Situational analysis of a company.
4. Financial analysis of the company.
5. Valuation
Fundamental Analysis Tools
There are several tools used for fundamental analysis. Some of the most popular are:
i. Earnings per Share
ii. Price to Earnings
iii. Projected Earning Growth (PEG)
iv. Price to Sales (P/S)
v. Price to Book (P/B)
vi. Dividend Payout ratio
vii. Dividend yield
viii. Book value
ix. Return on Equity (ROE)
x. Ratio analysis
Market Capitalization
-

7/50
7 | P a g e
Market capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the
price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. Similarly, market capitalization
of an index is calculated by adding the individual market capitalization of the companies in the
index. Free float market capitalization method is used to calculate the market capitalization of
SENSEX. Free float market capitalization is defined as that proportion of total shares issued by the
company that are readily available for trading in the market. It excludes promoters holding,
government holding, etc.
Gross Domestic product
GDP is defined as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within
the country in a given period of time.
GDP = C + I + G + NX
C - Consumption expenditure
I - Investment expenditure
G - Government expenditure
NX - Net exports = Exports -Imports
Stock Market Capitalization to GDP ratioThe stock market cap to GDP ratio is used to measure whether a market is overvalued or
undervalued. Usually a value of over 100% indicates that the market is overvalued and best not
to invest. A value of below 100% is considered undervalued and hence the right time to invest.
Warren buffet said that if the ratio is around 80% it is a good time to invest and if it is more than
200% then it is better to stay away from investing in that market.

Analysis of the ratio
The Stock Market capitalization to GDP ratio is used to determine whether an overall
market is undervalued or overvalued. The ratio can be used to focus on specific markets, such as the
Indian market, or it can be applied to the world market depending on what values are used in
the calculation.
For the first time in Indias history, the market cap italization of the BSE crossed the
countrys domestic GDP. This statistic can be observed in the graph as well, where the market
capitalization to GDP ratio crossed 1 for the first time.
As the chart above suggests, for India, the average market cap to GDP number over the
past 2 decades has been 52%. Indian markets were trading near this ratio in March 2009 (when
the downward rally started). And as we stand currently, the markets are back at almost their 2008
peak. As per Buffett, a 70-80% range on this ratio indicates that markets are somewhere
between moderate valuation and fair valuation. If the ratio exceeds 115%, the markets are in
the overvalued zone where odds of investing are not in the favor of investor.
Price to Earnings Ratio of the SENSEX
P/E ratio - The price to earnings ratio is an important indicator used by several
fundamental analysts. The P/E of a company tells us how much the investor is willing to pay,
based on the earnings of the company. The P/E ratio also tells us how much the market is willing
to pay the investor per rupee earning of the company.
The P/E ratio is calculated as
P/E= Stock price/Earnings per share
The stock price is the current market value of the stock.
The EPS can be calculated in three ways. EPS is calculated as the net earnings divided
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
11/50
11 | P a g e
by the outstanding shares. If the EPS is calculated based on the net earnings of the previous
four quarters, it is called trailing P/E. If the EPS is calculated based on the estimated earnings of
the next four quarters, it is called a forward P/E. Sometimes the EPS is calculated using the
net earnings of the previous two quarters and the next two quarters. Hence there are types of P/E
ratio.
Significance of the ratio
The P/E ratio cannot be the only indicator to base ones investment. There are two ways to
read the P/E ratio. One method is to compare the P/E of the company to the industry P/E. If the P/E
of the company is higher than the P/E of the industry it means that the market is expecting some
positive events from the company as far as earnings are concerned. This can be interpreted in two
ways. It could mean that the company is outperforming the market and hence is overheated or it
could mean that there are some positive events associated with the company and hence a good
time to invest. The second method to read the P/E is to compare the P/E of the company with its
competitors in the same industry. This gives a general idea as to whether the stock price is
undervalued or overvalued.

security, financial security, etc.
Social needs
This, according to Maslows, is the first level of higher level needs. Social needs are
those related to interaction with others and they include friendship, belonging to a group, etc.
Esteem needs
Esteem needs can be internal esteem needs or external esteem needs. The esteem needs
include self-respect, achievement, attention, recognition and reputation. The first two are internal
esteem needs where as the last three are external esteem needs.
Self-actualization
Self- actualization is the summit of Maslows hierarchy of needs. It is the quest of reaching
ones full potential as a person. T he needs associated with self-actualization include truth, justice,
wisdom, etc.

Introduction
Despite the economic reforms of 1991, Indias economic growth has been slow compared to
the levels achieved by the other Asian economies in the past. From 1991 - when the economic
reforms began - till 2000 end, Indias GDP per capita has grown at 4.2% a year. Up to the early
1980s, GDP per capita grew at only 1.6% a year. From the mid 1980s to 1991, GDP per capita grew
to around 2.6% a year. Currently the growth rate hovers around 6% to 9%.
The growth patterns of the Indian economy are an indicator of not just the economic scope in
the country but societal pattern as well. The further study analyses specific indicators of the Indian
economy relative to the GDP growth, which may support the positioning of the Indian people on
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs. Through the findings, it seems most probable that India has the
majority of its population lying in the Security and Social Needs of Maslows Hierarchy.
Subsequent passages show examples from the demographics of the country which may
corroborate this position of the Indian population on the Hierarchy of Needs.

Findings
The demography pattern of India shows that the majority of the population lies in the 15 -
64 years age bracket. This by itself can lead to an assumption that the majority of the population fall
in the Security and Social needs of Maslows Hiera rchy. If we look at the average age of the
population we notice that India is by and large a young nation, which further substantiates the
finding.
The poverty figures have been declining over the years. From 26% in 2000, the population
below the poverty line by 2006 estimates dropped to 22%. The literacy rates of India are
unimpressive at a mere 61% and have decreased over the years, which is not a promising sign.
The decreasing mortality rates and increasing life expectancy show that healthcare in India has
been bettering over the years. As such, even on the healthcare front Security needs of the Indian
people even though improving, need substantial improvement.
Other examples corroborating the findings
The following specifics of India have been used to substantiate our findings:
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
17/50
17 | P a g e
A majority of Indians have per capita space equivalent to or less than a 10 feet x 10 feet room
for their living, sleeping, cooking, washing and toilet needs. The average is 103 sq ft per person in
rural areas and 117 sq ft per person in urban areas. It may then be inferred that most of the
population are somehow satisfying the physiological need of housing.
Though the number of companies providing insurance is being increasing but the contrasting
fact is only 1% of the population is insured for life. The insurance sector is still highly untapped. On
the telecommunications front, more than half of the population own mobile phones. In absolute
numbers this translates into 600 million mobile users in the country. In comparison, land lines are
only a meager 150 million. Consequently we assume that with the shift of preference to mobile
phones over the years, the Indian people are addressing their social needs as well. However,
this does not indicate that the majority of the population may have surpassed the social needs status
on Maslows hierarchy.
Analysis
From the GDP growth it can be understood that India is an emerging growing economy.
The average age of the Indian population is 24.9 years and hence by and large a relatively
young population. Also a majority of the population fall under the 15-64 years age bracket
which substantiates the finding that majority of the Indian population lie in the Social and Security
needs of Maslows hierarchy. What this indicates is that the Indian government needs to address
the security needs of the Indian population through more reforms in the insurance sector, more
impetus on rural education and finally more investment in the rural household sector. The last of the
three is substantiated by the fact that the poverty figures in India are very disheartening and there is
an urgent requirement from the government to spend heavily on the rural household sector.
The poverty figures indicate that 22% of the population is struggling to address their
physiological needs. Only about 30% of the population is urbanized and hence this further
substantiates the findings that majority of the population falls in the security needs of Maslows
hierarchy. To further confirm the above findings it is important to note that only 1% of the
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
18/50
18 | P a g e
population is insured for life and 0.2% is covered under mediclaim. With the increasing number
of insurance companies, Indian population is trying to fulfill their security needs.
I would also like to add that though most of the Indian people are carrying cell phones with
them, they cannot be placed on the social needs of Maslows hierarchy. The fact that a large section
of the population are still struggling to meet their security needs cannot be ruled out. The research
also led me to believe, albeit inconclusively, that not more than 5% of the population of India has
surpassed the social needs stage. Hence it may easily be concluded that Indians lie on the Security
needs stage of the Maslows hierarchy.
Correlation between SENSEX and Nifty
SENSEX is the sensitive Index of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), India, a Market
Capitalization Weighted average of 30 large and financially stable companies BSE stock
prices. These 30 companies account for a half of the total market capitalization of BSE. Started
since 1986, SENSEX is monitored by most of the global markets as well.
NIFTY is Standard & Poors CRISIL NSE Index 50, is the index for large and
financially sound companies whose stocks are being traded on National of National Stock
Exchange (NSE) of India. Started since November 1995, nifty is most widely used for
benchmarking index funds, index based derivatives and to evaluate the overall performance of the
nations stock market over time. On plotting the daily closing values of Sensex and Nifty for about
last three and a half years (2 nd Jan 2007 to 31 st May 2010), with the hypothesis that SENSEX is
independent variable and Nifty is dependent on SENSEX, by performing ANOVA or Analysis
of variables test in MS-Excel, the coefficient of correlation or R-square comes out to be 85%
and the hypothesis proves to be correct with 95% confidence. The inference from above
mathematical analysis is that even though both indices belong to separate markets, their
performance/daily movement is almost identical, which can be spotted visually as well, because
both the curves fit very well and mostly give identical information.

The war between the two has intensified due to the ever rising competition between NSE
and BSE. Both of them have their own USPs. The market Capitalization of NSE is almost twice of
BSE, but, the BSE is the oldest stock exchange in Asia and has its own history. The fact that both
are having many independent powers & separate entities worsens the situation. So, the only common
link between them now is SEBI, which has a totally different role, as its a regulatory authority to
watch and control the legal and ethical aspects of the market and protect the interests of
shareholders. Hence, no one, not even the SEBI is an intermediary between the two, thereby,
intensifying the competition between them to become the preferred exchange for top
companies. Even though the competition is healthy for any company to emerge stronger, provide
more value added services and work smarter, it becomes totally unhealthy and destructive when
there are price wars and a red ocean causing them to put their riches in advertising and other
undue marketing/brand building expenses.
So, whom to track? Whom to believe and follow? Which of them is a better indicator of
the market? Who is better in gauging the Indian stocks? Ironically, it doesnt matter at all.
Both SENSEX and Nifty are well diversified and contains many similar companies stocks. So,
even though Nifty has got 20 more companies, thats 67% more variety, both SENSEX and Nifty
moves in the same direction and the trend seems like totally correlated. There is a definite
difference in scale or magnitude, but, after scaling and equalizing both to similar bases, there will be
hardly any difference in both indices. So, the choice is based only on convenience and not
on the performance. The global markets prefer SENSEX because that was the only option with
them earlier and they dont want to switch to other without any clear reason for that sudden change.
Technical Analysis
Introduction to Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is the study of market action, primarily through the use of charts, for the
purpose of forecasting future price trends. For technical analysts, the term market action includes
three sources of information. They are price, volume and open interest. Open interest is used only in
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
20/50
2 | P a g e
futures and options.
There are three premises on which technical analysis is based. They are
a. Market action discounts everything - Anything and everything that affects the price is actuallyreflected in the price of that market. Hence a technical analyst will only study the price action and
not the reasons behind the change in the price.
b. Prices move in trends - There are three types of trends. They are uptrend, downtrend and
sideways trend. The assumption of technical analysis is that a trend in motion is more likely
to
continue than reverse or a trend in motion will continue in the same direction until it reverses.
c. History repeats itself - The meaning of the phrase history repeats itself is that the key to
understanding the future lies in the study of the past, or that the future is just a repetition of the
past.
Usually the following tools & instruments are used to do the technical analysis:
Price Fields
Technical analysis is based almost entirely on the analysis of price and volume. The fields
which define a security's price and volume are explained below.
Open - This is the price of the first trade for the period (e.g., the first trade of the day). When
analyzing daily data, the Open is especially important as it is the consensus price after all interested
parties were able to "sleep on it."
High - This is the highest price that the security traded during the period. It is the point at which there
were more sellers than buyers (i.e., there are always sellers willing to sell at higher prices, but the
High represents the highest price buyers were willing to pay).
Low - This is the lowest price that the security traded during the period. It is the point at which there
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
21/50
21 | P a g e
were more buyers than sellers (i.e., there are always buyers willing to buy at lower prices, but the
Low represents the lowest price sellers were willing to accept).
Close - This is the last price that the security traded during the period. Due to its availability, the Close
is the most often used price for analysis. The relationship between the Open (the first price) and the
Close (the last price) are considered significant by most technicians. This relationship is emphasized in
candlestick charts.
Volume - This is the number of shares (or contracts) that were traded during the period. The
relationship between prices and volume (e.g., increasing prices accompanied with increasing volume)
is important.
Open Interest - This is the total number of outstanding contracts (i.e., those that have not been
exercised, closed, or expired) of a future or option. Open interest is often used as an indicator.
Bid - This is the price a market maker is willing to pay for a security (i.e., the price you will receive if
you sell).
Ask - This is the price a market maker is willing to accept (i.e., the price you will pay to buy the
security).
Chart Styles
Price in a chart can be displayed in following styles:
Bar Chart.
Line Chart. Candlestick Chart.
Bar Charts:
The highs and lows of a stock are plotted in a diagram and the points are joined with vertical
lines (bars). A small horizontal tick to the left denotes the opening level while a small horizontal tick to
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
22/50
22 | P a g e
the right represents the closing price of each interval.
Line Chart
It gives the detailed information about every aspect. The stock prices for each time period are
plotted in a diagram and the points are joined. Prices on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The line chart
chooses for example the closing price of consecutive time periods, but can also work with daily, official
fixings.
Candlestick Chart
Although candlestick charts are nearly identical to typical Western bar charts, there is one
important distinction: candlestick charts are far more dramatic in their presentation. Instead of the
standard high-to-low vertical lines accompanied by horizontal ticks that identify the day's open and
close, candlestick charts employ two-dimensional bodies to depict the open-to-close trading range
and upper and lower stems (or shadows) to mark the day's high and low. A candlestick is black if
the closing price is lower than the opening price. A candlestick is white if the closing price is higher
than the opening price.
Bullish Patterns
1) Long white (empty) line. This is a bullish line. It occurs when prices open near the low and close
significantly higher near the period's high.
2) Hammer. This is a bullish line if it occurs after a significant downtrend. If the line
occurs after a significant up-trend, it is called a Hanging Man. A Hammer is identified by a
small real body (i.e., a small range between the open and closing prices) and a long lower
shadow (i.e., the low is significantly lower than the open, high, and close). The body can
be empty or filled-in.
3) Piercing line. This is a bullish pattern and the opposite of a dark cloud cover. The first
line is a long black line and the second line is a long white line. The second line opens
lower than the first line's low, but it closes more than halfway above the first line's real

body.
4) Bullish engulfing lines. This pattern is strongly bullish if it occurs after a significant downtrend
(i.e., it acts as a reversal pattern). It occurs when a small bearish (filled-in) line is engulfed by a large
bullish (empty) line.
5) Morning star. This is a bullish pattern signifying a potential bottom. The "star" indicates a
possible reversal and the bullish (empty) line confirms this. The star can be empty or filled-in.
6) Bullish doji star. A "star" indicates a reversal and a doji indicates indecision. Thus, this pattern usually
indicates a reversal following an indecisive period. You should wait for a confirmation (e.g., as in the
morning star, above) before trading a doji star. The first line can be empty or filled in.
Bearish Patterns
1) Long black (filled-in) line. This is a bearish line. It occurs when prices open near the high and close
significantly lower near the period's low.
2) Hanging Man. These lines are bearish if they occur after a significant uptrend. If this pattern occurs
after a significant downtrend, it is called a Hammer. They are identified by small real bodies (i.e., a
small range between the open and closing prices) and a long lower shadow (i.e., the low was
significantly lower than the open, high, and close). The bodies can be empty or filled-in.
3) Dark cloud cover. This is a bearish pattern. The pattern is more significant if the second line's
body is below the center of the previous line's body (as illustrated).
4) Bearish engulfing lines. This pattern is strongly bearish if it occurs after a significant uptrend (i.e., it
acts as a reversal pattern). It occurs when a small bullish (empty) line is engulfed by a large bearish
(filled-in) line.

5) Evening star. This is a bearish pattern signifying a potential top. The "star" indicates
a possible reversal and the bearish (filled-in) line confirms this. The star can be empty
or filled in.
6) Doji star. A star indicates a reversal and a doji indicates indecision. Thus, this pattern usually
indicates a reversal following an indecisive period. You should wait for a confirmation (e.g., as in
the evening star illustration) before trading a doji star.
7) Shooting star. This pattern suggests a minor reversal when it appears after a rally.
The star's body must appear near the low price and the line should have a long upper
shadow.
Reversal Patterns
1) Long-legged doji. This line often signifies a turning point. It occurs when the open
and close are the same, and the range between the high and low is relatively large.
2) Dragon-fly doji. This line also signifies a turning point. It occur when the open and
close are the same, and the low is significantly lower than the open, high, and closing
prices.
3) Gravestone doji. This line also signifies a turning point. It occurs when the open, close, and low
are the same, and the high is significantly higher than the open, low, and closing prices.
4) Star. Stars indicate reversals. A star is a line with a small real body that occurs after a line with a
much larger real body, where the real bodies do not overlap. The shadows may overlap.
5) Doji star. A star indicates a reversal and a doji indicates indecision. Thus, this pattern usually
indicates a reversal following an indecisive period. You should wait for a confirmation (e.g., as in
the evening star illustration) before trading a doji star.

Neutral Patterns
1) Spinning tops. These are neutral lines. They occur when the distance between the high and low, and
the distance between the open and close, are relatively small.
2) Doji. This line implies indecision. The security opened and closed at the same price.
These lines can appear in several different patterns. Double doji lines (two adjacent
doji lines) imply that a forceful move will follow a breakout from the current
indecision.
3) Harami ("pregnant" in English). This pattern indicates a decrease in momentum. It occurs when a
line with a small body falls within the area of a larger body. In this example, a bullish (empty) line
with a long body is followed by a weak bearish (filled in) line. This implies a decrease in the bullish
momentum.
4) Harami cross. This pattern also indicates a decrease in momentum. The pattern is similar to a
harami, except the second line is a doji (signifying indecision).
Key Technical Indicators
There are several indicators that are used in technical analysis. But I have chosen to highlight
the following indicators as I have used some of these further in the project.
1. Moving average
2. Relative Strength Index (RSI)
3. Larry Williams % R
4. Moving average Convergence Divergence (MACD)
5. Fibonacci tools
1) Moving average - The moving average essentially a trend following indicator or a lagging
indicator as it is formed after the price movement occurs. Its purpose is to identify or signal that a
new trend has begun or that an old trend has ended or reversed. Its purpose is to track the
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
26/50
26 | P a g e
progress of the trend.
There are three types of moving averages that are used by technical analysts. They are
a) Simple moving average - It is calculated by taking the average of the previous 10 or 15closing
prices. The weights given to each day is the same i.e. in a 10 day simple moving average, the
weight given for the 10th day closing price is the same as the weight given for the 1st day
closing price. The disadvantage of the simple moving average is that it reacts slower
to the price movement when compared to an exponential moving average.
b) Linearly weighted moving average - In this type of moving average weights are given in a
linear proportion to each days closing price i.e. the 10th day closing price is multiplied with
10, the 9th day with 9, and so on. The greater weight is given to the most recent closing.
c) Exponential moving average - The exponential moving average assigns greater weight to more
recent data and it includes in its calculation all of the data in the life of the instrument.
The advantage of using exponential moving averages is that it reacts quicker to the price
movement than a simple moving average.
Analyzing moving averages
There are two ways to analyze moving averages. They are as follows:
i. Single moving average and price - A single moving average is used to generate buy and
sell signals. When the price line moves above the moving average, a buy signal is
generated. Conversely, when the price line moves below the moving average, a sell signal is
generated.
ii. Double crossover method - In this case two moving averages are used. One is a shorter moving
average and the other a longer moving average. When the shorter moving average crosses
above the longer moving average, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the
shorter moving average crosses below the longer moving average, a sell signal is generated.

8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
27/50
27 | P a g e
2) Relative Strength Index (RSI) - Relative strength generally means a ratio line comparing two
different entities. A ratio of a stock or industry group to the Sensex is one way of gauging relative
strength of different stocks or industry groups against one objective benchmark. Relative strength
index solves the problem of erratic movement and the need for constant upper and lower
boundary.
The formula used for calculating RSI is
RSI=100-100/1+RS
RS=Average of x days up close/ Average of x days down close
Analyzing Relative Strength Index
RSI is plotted on a vertical scale of 0 to 100. Movements above 70 are considered
overbought while an oversold condition would be move under 30. Because of shifting that
takes place in bull and bear market, the 80 level usually becomes overbought level in bull
market and the 20 level the oversold level in bear market.
3) Larry Williams % R - Larry Williams % R measures the latest close in rel ation to its price
range over a given number of days. Todays close is subtracted from the price high of the range for
a given number of days and that difference is divided by the total range for the same period. In
technical analysis this is a momentum indicator measuring overbought and oversold levels. It is used
to determine market entry and exit points.
4) Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) - MACD is comprised of two sets of
line. One is called the faster line and the other the slower line. The faster line is the difference
between two exponential moving averages (usually 12 and 26). It is also called the MACD line.
The slower line is usually a 9 day exponential moving average of the MACD line. It is also called
the signal line. The buy and sell signals are based on the crossovers between the two lines. Hence it
is very similar to the double crossover method of moving averages.

28 | P a g e
5) Fibonacci tools - Fibonacci tools utilize special ratios that naturally occur in nature to help
predict points of support or resistance. Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,
etc. The sequence occurs by adding the previous two numbers (i.e. 1+1=2, 2+3=5) The main ratio
used is .618, this is found by dividing one Fibonacci number into the next in sequence Fibonacci
number (55/89=0.618). The logic most often used by Fibonacci based traders is that since
Fibonacci numbers occur in nature and the stock, futures, and currency markets are creations of
nature - humans. Therefore, the Fibonacci sequence should apply to the financial markets.
Technical Analysis Software - The technical analysis software used is Metastock, which is
created by Equis International, a Thomson Reuters company. It is the most widely used technical
analysis software. The major competitors of Reuters are Bloomberg and Dow Jones Newswires.
Trading Strategy
As part of my technical analysis I worked on a technique for delivery based trading. I have
used 15 minute candlestick chart along with 2 exponential moving averages (8 EMA & 34 EMA)
for my study. Candlestick chart is used as they are far more dramatic in their presentation and it
employ two-dimensional bodies to depict the open-to-close trading range and upper and lower stems(or shadows) to mark the day's high and low. The idea of using exponential moving average is that
it assigns greater weight to more recent data, and thereby reacts quicker to the price movement
than a simple moving average. I have specifically used 8 and 34 EMAs as they are Fibonacci
numbers and hold much importance in analyzing stock prices.
I have analyzed both the EMAs with double crossover method, i.e., when the 8 EMA
crosses above the 34 EMA, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the 8 EMA crosses below
the 34 EMA, a sell signal is generated. For my study I have considered only buy signals as we can
shortsell only in intraday trading. For the buy signal, I have considered the closing price of the
candlestick which is forming just after the crossover. The position has to be kept until I get a signal to
close the position. To close the position I have followed two different strategies. They are:
-
8/10/2019 wealth management Final Internship Project
29/50
29 | P a g e
1. Closing the position with the first candlestick being formed below the lower moving
average.
2. Closing the position when a candlestick is formed whose closing is below the lower
moving average.
Process for the study
The purpose of this project was to find a successful trading system using candlesticks
and moving averages in tandem. Two exponential moving averages were used namely 8 EMA
and 34 EMA with the help of which trading signal has to be generated over a one year time
period from May 2009 to June 2010. Two different strategies were used as mentioned above and
the study was done on 14 selected securities namely, Balrampur Chini, DLF, ITC, Reliance
Capital, Suzlon Energy, JP Associates, Sesa Goa, Bhushan Steel, Infosys, Ansal Properties, ICICI
Bank, HUL, L&T and ONGC. Along with this the same study is also done on Nifty futures.
The study was conducted by plotting fifteen minute candlestick chart along with the
two EMAs simultaneously on Metastock.

The following table illustrates the accuracy and the returns for the study over a period of
one year:

Analysis
In the first strategy, the returns were highest for Bhushan Steel at 100.23% followed by Sesa
Goa at 76.49% and DLF at 57.3%. On the other hand the lowest return was given by Reliance
Capital at 0.65% followed by ITC at 2.73% and ONGC at 4.98%.
Study of Nifty Futures for a period of May 2009 to June 2010
With the same strategies, a similar study was conducted on one of Indias premier Index
futures, i.e., Nifty Futures. The following table shows the outcome of the study:
Nifty Futures
Return in 1 st strategy 395.7 points
Accuracy in 1 st Strategy 36.84%
Return in 2 nd strategy 173.8 points
Accuracy in 2 nd Strategy 33.68%
Table 1: Outcome of Nifty Futures
With the first strategy, there was a benefit of about 400 points where as, with the second
strategy it was 173.8 points.
Conclusion of the study of both the trading strategies
With the study of 14 different scrips and an Index future on both the trading strategies, it
was observed that the first strategy was comparatively better than the second strategy. For most of the
scrips the returns were higher if trading is done with the first strategy. The return for all the 14 scrips
taken together comes to 430.94% and 254.44% taking the first and the second strategies
respectively. For Nifty futures also, the returns were higher with the first trading strategy.

From the above study, it can be clearly concluded that the first strategy stands ahead
in comparison with the second. Based on this conclusion, a further study is conducted for the
futures contract of the entire 50 scrips comprising Nifty.
Nifty Fifty Stock Futures analysis for a period of one year from May 2009 to June 2010 After
an in-depth study of both the trading strategies, it has already been concluded that the first strategy
stay ahead in comparison with the second one. Based on the outcome of the previous study,
another research is carried out with the futures contract of the 50 scrips comprising the Nifty.
In this study, I have analyzed both the EMAs with double crossover method, i.e., when the 8
EMA crosses above the 34 EMA, a buy signal is generated. Conversely, when the 8 EMA crosses
below the 34 EMA, a sell signal is generated. As these are future contracts, I am considering both
the long and short calls for the purpose of study, as this will enable the readers to understand the
returns in both the calls.

1. Equity
Many investors go about their investing in an irrational way: They are tipped of a
'news'/ rumour' in a 'hot stock' from their broker. They impulsively buy the scrip. And
after the purchase wonder why they bought the stock. He is a fool to act in such an
irrational manner. We suggest a three-step approach to investing in equities. The moment
you get a tip on any stock, get the first hand news immediately. You'll find informationon the following sites:

The news, if any, will be on the sites. Be it announcements earnings, dividend
payoffs, corporate move to buy another company, flight of top management to anothercompany, these sites should be your first stop. Do some number crunching. Check out the
growth rate of the stock's earnings, as shown in a percentage and analyze those graphs
shown on your stockbrokers site. Learn more about the P/E ratio (price -to-earnings
ratio), earning per share (EPS), market capitalization to sales ratio, projected earnings
growth for the next quarter and some historical data, which will tell what the company
has done in the past. Get the current status of the stock movement such as real-time
quote, average trades per day, total number of shares outstanding, dividend, high and lowfor the day and for the last 52 weeks. This information should give you an indication of
the nature of the companys performance and stock movement. Yld (Yield) : Dividend
divided by price. Bid and Ask (Offer) Price When you enter an order to buy or sell a
stock, you will essentially see the Bid and Ask for a stock and some numbers. What
does this mean? The Bid is the buyers price. It is this price that you need to know when
you have to buy a stock. Bid is the rate/price at which there is a ready buyer for the stock,
which you intend to sell. The Ask (or offer) is what you need to know when you're
buying i.e. this is the rate/ price at which there is seller ready to sell his stock. The seller
will sell his stock if he gets the quoted Ask pri ce. Bid size and Ask (Offer) size If an
investor looks at a computer screen for a quote on the stock of say SBI bank Ltd, it might
look something like this: Bid Price : 1750 Offer Price : 1755 Bid Qty : 40T (T stands for
Thousands) Offer Qty : 20T What this means is that there is total demand for 40,000
shares of company FGH at Rs 1750 per share. Whereas the supply is only of 20,000
shares, which are available for sale at a price of Rs 1755 per share. The law of demand
and supply is a major factor, which will determine which way the stock is headed Armed
with this information, you've got a great chance to pick up a winning stock. Again dont
be in a hurry, ferret out some more facts, try to find out as to who is picking up the stock
(FIIs, mutual funds, big industrial houses? The significance of which you will learn in

section II of our learning center). Watch for the daily volume in a day: is it more/less than
the average daily volume? If it's more, maybe some fund is accumulating the stock. Next
time you hear or read a 'hot tip': do some research; try to know all you can about the stockand then shoot your investing power into the stock. With practice, you'll be hitting a
bulls eye more often than not. MaxGrowth Capital recommends investors to be aware of
the technical tools of measuring stock performances before investing. Learn to identify
the signals that the market emits.
2. Currency Derivatives
Indian investor can now add one more 'investment option' in their portfolio Currency Derivatives. Regula tory approval from RBI and SEBI was recently made
available (Aug 2008) and this allowed exchanges in
India to launch currency derivatives for trading,
similar to equity/commodities derivatives trading.
With launch of currency derivatives in India through
stock exchanges, there would be dynamic shift in
currency trading and hedging. Indian entity would be able to take positions on the
external value of the rupee without having an underlying foreign currency exposure. It
would enhance overall efficiency of the currency market via transparency in pricing,
increase investor based and categories, enhancing opportunities to invest and eliminate
counter-party risk. Currency Derivatives is a emerging segment in India & to tap this
emerging segment we have acquired the membership of NSE, MCX-Sx & USE. We offer
our broking services in Currency Derivatives segment which provides access to a new
asset class for trading to all Resident Indians. Our strength lies in our ability to develop
innovative tailor made advisory as per requirement of customer enabling them to earn
efficient post tax return in accordance with their specific risk, return and maturity
profiles. Currency derivatives is a product with benefits, such as: Access to a new asset
class for trading to all Resident Indians Hedging current exposure: Importers and

exporters can hedge future payables and receivables Borrowers can hedge Foreign
Currency loans for interest or principal payments Hedge for offshore investment for
Resident Indians Arbitrage opportunity for entities who can access onshore and nondeliverable forward markets and non deliverable forward markets Volatility and
multiplier make it a significant trading option for traders.
3. Mutual Fund
The wide-eyed child putting his precious coins in a piggy bank is not very
different from the grown-up, prudent investor investing his money. Both are saving for a
rainy day, a future emergency - be it an urgent craving for candies or a sudden need offunds in the family.

Limitations of the study
1. Availability of data for all the asset classes was limited.
2. The time frame used for technical analysis was limited and hence developing
a new trading system was difficult.
3. The data for the key ratios like the P/E ratio and the Market capitalization to
GDP ratios were not easily available.
4. The technical indicators used by itself are not enough to generate the buy andsell signals. Several indicators have to be used in tandem to generate an
ideal trading system.
5. Candlesticks are not yet widely followed in the Indian scenario. The most
widely used charting system is still the bar charts as they are tried and tested
in the Western countries.
6. Moving averages cannot be used as a standalone indicator as it is a lagging
indicator, implying that the moving averages are formed only after the price action
is generated. Hence a trader may lose out on profits if he uses only moving
averages to buy and sell.

Conclusion
A study has been made which shows the relationship between different
economic variables and the market variables and the interrelationship between them.
Thus it has been observed that there is not a single factor that affects the movement in
the stock market but a number of variables like GDP, P/E, etc. influence a market to a
great extent. Any investor before making an investment should analyze the general
economic conditions prevailing in the economy and should make a suitable framework
for investment decisions. In the Maslows hierarchy we learnt that before a company
goes for overseas expansion it tries to study in which state of Maslows hierarchy the
desired country(India) is in. This makes the prediction of the various variables accurate
to some extent. Along with the fundamental analysis mentioned above an educated
investor would always emphasize the importance of technical analysis as a tool to
maximize profits and minimize risk. It is a common view of experts that fundamental
or technical analysis by itself are strong indicators to use before investing, however, an
educated investor should always use technical and fundamental analysis in tandem
before making an investment. This would give the investor a holistic view and hence
a more informed view of the investment.
