Install Windows XP


        This procedure demonstrates how to install Windows XP Professional. The procedure to install Windows XP home edition is very similar to the professional edition. Since Windows XP Pro is more advanced operating system, it will be used to demonstrate the installation procedure.
The best way install Windows XP is to do a clean install. It is not difficult to perform a clean installation. Before you perform the installation I recommend that you check Windows XP Compatibility List to ensure that your hardware is supported by XP. If your hardware is not on the compatibility list you can check your hardware manufactures website to download the drivers for Windows XP. Save all the necessary drivers onto floppy disks or CD before you start the installation.
All versions of Windows XP CD are bootable. In order to boot from CD/DVD-ROM you need to set the boot sequence. Look for the boot sequence under your BIOS setup and make sure that the first boot device is set to CD/DVD-ROM. You can then perform the following steps to install Windows XP:


Step 1 - Start your PC and place your Windows XP CD in your CD/DVD-ROM drive. Your PC should automatically detect the CD and you will get a message saying "Press any key to boot from CD". Soon as computer starts booting from the CD your will get the following screen:

Step 2 - At this stage it will ask you to press F6 if you want to install a third party Raid or SCSI driver. If you are using a an IDE Hard Drive then you do not need to press F6. If you are using a SCSI or SATA Hard drive then you must press F6 otherwise Windows will not detect your Hard Drive during the installation. Please make sure you have the Raid drivers on a floppy disk. Normally the drivers are supplied on a CD which you can copy to a floppy disk ready to be installed. If you are not sure how to do this then please read your motherboard manuals for more information.

Step 3 - Press S to Specify that you want to install additional device.

Step 4 - You will be asked to insert the floppy disk with the Raid or SCSI drivers. Press enter after you have inserted the disk.

Step 5 - You will see a list of Raid drivers for your HDD. Select the correct driver for your device and press enter.

Step 6 - You will then get a Windows XP Professional Setup screen. You have the option to do a new Windows install, Repair previous install or quit. Since we are doing a new install we just press Enter to continue.

Step 7 - You will be presented with the End User Licensing Agreement. Press F8 to accept and continue

Step 8 - This step is very important. Here we will create the partition where Windows will be installed. If you have a brand new unformatted drive you will get a screen similar to below. In our case the drive size is 8190MB. We can choose to install Windows in this drive without creating a partition, hence use the entire size of the drive. If you wish to do this you can just press enter and Windows will automatically partition and format the drive as one large drive.
However for this demonstration I will create two partition. The first partition will be 6000MB (C: drive) and second partition would be 2180MB (E: drive). By creating two partition we can have one which stores Windows and Applications and the other which stores our data. So in the future if anything goes wrong with our Windows install such as virus or spyware we can re-install Windows on C: drive and our data on E: drive will not be touched. Please note you can choose whatever size partition your like. For example if you have 500GB hard drive you can have two partition of 250GB each.

Press C to create a partition.

Windows will show the total size of the hard drive and ask you how much you want to allocate for the partition you are about to create. I will choose 6000MB. You will then get the screen below. Notice it shows C: Partition 1 followed by the size 6000 MB. This indicates the partition has been created. We still have an unpartitioned space of 2189MB. Next heighlight the unpartitioned space by pressing down the arrow key. Then press C to create another partition. You will see the total space available for the new partition. Just choose all the space left over, in our case 2180MB.
Step 9 - Now you will see both partition listed. Partition 1 (C: Drive) 6000MB and Partition 2 (E: Drive) 2180MB. You will also have 8MB of unpartitioned space. Don't worry about that. Just leave it how its is. Windows normally has some unpartitioned space. You might wonder what happened to D: drive. Windows has automatically allocated D: drive to CD/DVD-ROM.

Select Partition 1 (C: Drive) and press Enter.

Step 10 - Choose format the partition using NTFS file system.This is the recommended file system. If the hard drive has been formatted before then you can choose quick NTFS format. We chose NTFS because it offers many security features, supports larger drive size, and bigger size files.

Windows will now start formatting drive C: and start copying setup files as shown on the two images below :


Step 11 - After the setup has completed copying the files the computer will restart. Leave the XP CD in the drive but this time DO NOT press any key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD" is displayed. In few seconds setup will continue. Windows XP Setup wizard will guide you through the setup process of gathering information about your computer.
Step 12 - Choose your region and language.

Step 13 - Type in your name and organization.
Step 14. Enter your product key.

Step 15 - Name the computer, and enter an Administrator password. Don't forget to write down your Administrator password.
Step 16 - Enter the correct date, time and choose your time zone.
Step 17 - For the network setting choose typical and press next.
Step 18 - Choose workgroup or domain name. If you are not a member of a domain then leave the default settings and press next. Windows will restart again and adjust the display.
Step 19 - Finally Windows will start and present you with a Welcome screen. Click next to continue.


Step 20 - Choose 'help protect my PC by turning on automatic updates now' and press next.

Step 21 - Will this computer connect to the internet directly, or through a network? If you are connected to a router or LAN then choose: 'Yes, this computer will connect through a local area network or home network'. If you have dial up modem choose: 'No, this computer will connect directly to the internet'. Then click Next.

Step 22 - Ready to activate Windows? Choose yes if you wish to active Windows over the internet now. Choose no if you want to activate Windows at a later stage.

Step 23 - Add users that will sign on to this computer and click next.

Step 24 - You will get a Thank you screen to confirm setup is complete. Click finish.


Step 25. Log in, to your PC for the first time.


Step 26 - You now need to check the device manager to confirm that all the drivers has been loaded or if there are any conflicts. From the start menu select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Click on the System icon and then from the System Properties window select the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager.
If there are any yellow exclamation mark "!" next to any of the listed device, it means that no drivers or incorrect drivers has been loaded for that device. In our case we have a Video Controller (VGA card) which has no drivers installed.
Your hardware should come with manufacturer supplied drivers. You need to install these drivers using the automatic setup program provided by the manufacturer or you need to manually install these drivers. If you do not have the drivers, check the manufacturers website to download them.
To install a driver manually use the following procedure:
(a) From the device manager double click on the device containing the exclamation mark.
(b) This would open a device properties window.
(c) Click on the Driver tab.
(d) Click Update Driver button. The Wizard for updating device driver pops up as shown below:
You now get two options. The first option provides an automatic search for the required driver. The second option allows you to specify the location of the driver. If you don't know the location of the driver choose the automatic search which would find the required driver from the manufacturer supplied CD or Floppy disk. Windows would install the required driver and may ask you to restart the system for the changes to take affect. Use this procedure to install drivers for all the devices that contain an exclamation mark. Windows is completely setup when there are no more exclamation marks in the device manager.

AMP Installation (Apache, Mysql, Php)

Installing with Windows
        By following our step-by-step guide, you will successfully have all three components installed on
your Windows system. This guide includes instructions for Windows NT, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows .NET 2003.

Install Apache
        Apache will act as the server for your PHP/MySQLWeb site. Installation is easy, as you will see.
This installation is for Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows .NET 2003. For
other versions of Windows, complete installation instructions can be found at www.apache.org.
Note that you must have TCP/IP running on your machine in order for your installation to be
operational.

The following are the basic steps for installation:
1. Go to www.apache.org, and click the HTTP Server link.
    While the Apache Software Foundation provides many different software packages, this is
    the only one we are concerned with at this time.
2. Click “Download from a Mirror” to choose an FTP site for downloading.
3. Click the Win 32 Binary-MSI Installer link to download.
    If you experience problems downloading this file, you can try a different mirror site; click
    the drop-down box near the top of the screen to locate one.
4. Click the MSI file to initiate the installation wizard for the Apache software.
    After accepting the installation agreement, you will see a screen that is equivalent to a
    readme.txt file—it gives basic information about the Apache software and where to go to find
    more information. We highly recommend that you read this file.
5. Click Next. You will see the Server Information screen.
6. Enter the following information:
    ❑ Domain name: For example, domainname.com
    ❑ Server name: For example, server.domainname.com
    ❑ Net administrator’s e-mail address
    ❑ Who Are We Installing Apache For?
7. Select “All Users” if you want a server that will be available to anyone wishing to see your site
    or “Only the Current User” for a server that will be used for testing purposes before files are
    uploaded to a live server on another computer.
8. Click Next to select a setup type.
    Typical installation is recommended for beginners and will suffice for most needs. Advanced
    users may feel more comfortable choosing Custom setup.
9. Click Next.
    The Destination Folder screen appears.
10. If you do not want your Apache files saved in the default path, click Change and select an alternate
    path; then click Next.
    The Ready to Install the Program screen appears.
11. Click Install to finish installation.
    For configuration options and customization, please refer to Chapter 1 of this book.

Install PHP
        This installation is for the PHP module on Windows 98, ME, and Windows 2000/XP/NT. For all other Windows versions, please refer to the source Web site, www.php.net.
The following are the steps for installing PHP:

1. Go to the PHPWeb site at www.php.net.
2. Scroll down to the “downloads” section and click the appropriate link for the version you wish
    to install.
3. Scroll down to the Windows Binary section. If you are running your PHP on an Apache server,
    as we do in this book, click the PHP Package link to be able to run PHP on Apache Server
4. Click any FTP site to begin the download.
5. Unzip your file using any standard unzip program and save it to the directory of your choice.
    We recommend unzipping it to c:\ and then renaming it to c:\php\. It’s best not to save your
    file in a directory with a space in it, as it can cause Web server problems.
6. Before you can run PHP, you will need to rename php.ini-dist to php.ini.
    By default, the PHP installation provides two copies of your common configuration file:
    php.ini-dist and php.ini-recommended. The php.ini-dist file is meant to be used for
    development purposes, while php.ini-recommended should be used when your site goes live,
    as it has additional security measures in place that the php.ini-dist does not have.
    Depending on your reason for using PHP, you would choose the php.ini file that best suits
    your needs. For the purposes of this book, we are going to be using the php.ini-dist file simply
    because it is easier to work with and will present you with fewer obstacles. Once you are
    more familiar with PHP in general, we encourage you to switch to the php.ini-recommended
    file as your default. Therefore, you need to rename the configuration file as indicated in this step
    in order for your PHP installation to be complete. Make sure to save your new php.ini file to
    your c:\windows directory so Apache can find it.
7. Copy php4ts.dll into the c:\program files\Apache Group\Apache2\bin directory so that
    Apache can find it.
    This file can be found in the c:\php directory, not the c:\php\dlls directory.
    You now need to configure your PHP to run with Apache and MySQL. Please refer to Chapter 1 for
    more information on this step.

Install MySQL
        MySQL is the database that holds all the data to be accessed by your Web site. This MySQL installation guide is for Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT, XP, and .NET 2003. For all other versions of Windows, please refer to the source Web site at www.mysql.com.

Proceed with the following steps to install MySQL:
1. Go to the source Web site, www.mysql.com, and click “downloads” on the navigation bar near
    the top of the page.
2. Scroll down to the latest stable version of MySQL, and click that link.
3. Scroll down to the Windows section of the downloadable files, and click Select a Mirror.
4. Find a mirror and click to download (you may choose either HTTP or FTP to download).
5. Unzip the file to a temporary directory of your choice.
6. Click setup.exe to run the installation program. You will see the first of the Installation Wizard
    screens.
7. Click Next to display the informational screen.
    We highly recommend that you read this screen before you continue.
8. Click Next, which brings you to the Choose Destination Location screen.
9. If the default directory is acceptable, simply click Next; otherwise, click Browse and select a different
    destination.
10. Click Next.
11. The next screen allows you to customize your installation; typical installation is sufficient for
    most users.
12. Click the setup type you prefer, and click Next to begin the installation.
    After installing the appropriate files, the final screen will simply indicate the installation is
    complete. Click Finish to end the wizard.
    You now need to configure your MySQL installation to fit your needs.

Installing with Linux
        This section covers the installation of the three components of the AMP module using a Linux system. In this instance, we will cover an installation from the source for all three AMP components. Other methods are available, such as RPM, deb, and ebuild. We’ve chosen to cover source installations insteadbecause this method offers the most flexibility and works on nearly all UNIX-like systems.

Install MySQL
The following are the steps to install MySQL for a Linux system:
1. Go to the MySQLWeb site (www.mysql.com) and download the latest stable version of the
    MySQL database server.
    The link for this file is most likely located at the bottom under the heading Source Downloads.
2. Grab the tarball, named something along the lines of mysql-4.0.x.tar.gz.
3. Open a console window and change the directory (cd) to the folder where you downloaded the
    tarball.
4. If there isn’t a user on the system dedicated to running the mysql daemon (typically mysql),
    you’ll need to create one. To do this, in the console, enter the following commands:
    > groupadd mysql
    > useradd –g mysql mysql
5. Extract the tarball, and change to the directory it creates:
    > tar –xzf mysql-VERSION.tar.gz
    > cd mysql-VERSION
    VERSION is the (sub)version of the mysql source tarball you downloaded, ‘0.15a’
6. Next, configure the source this way:
    > ./configure —prefix=/usr/local/mysql
    Using the --prefix switch tells the installer where to put the mysql libraries and binaries after
    they’re built.
7. Compile the source:
    > make
8. Install the libraries and binaries.
    > make install
    Note that you will need to be logged in as superuser (root) to perform this step and the following
    steps in the MySQL installation.
9. If this is the first time MySQL has been installed on your machine (in other words, not an
    upgrade), run this script to install the initial database/tables:
    > scripts/mysql_install_db
10. Fix permissions on installed files, and copy over the default configuration file.
    > chown –R root /usr/local/mysql
    > chown –R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
    > chgrp –R mysql /usr/local/mysql
    > cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
    Any changes you wish to make to customize MySQL should be made in this file.
11. Start the MySQL daemon:
    > /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe —user=mysql &
    You’ll probably want to add the previous command to whatever facilities are available to              
    automatically start the daemon at boot. This varies by OS, so you’ll need to find out what works on
    your system. Here is one easy way to add this that works with most systems (but may not be the      
    “best” way):
    > echo ‘/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe —user=mysql &’ >> /etc/rc.local

Install Apache
Follow these steps to install Apache:
1. Go to the Apache Web site (http://httpd.apache.org) and download the latest stable version
    of the Apache 2 Web server.
2. Grab the tarball, named something along the lines of httpd-2.0.x.tar.gz.
3. Open a console window, and change the directory (cd) to the folder where you downloaded the
    tarball.
4. Next, extract the tarball, and change to the directory it creates:
    > tar –xzf httpd-2.0.47.tar.gz
    > cd httpd-2.0.47
5. Configure the source:
    > ./configure \
    —prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \
    —enable-so \
    —enable-mods-shared=max \
    —enable-modules=most
    Using the --prefix switch tells the installer where to put the Apache server after it’s built. For
    a complete list of configuration options, run ./configure -help.
6. Compile the source:
    > make
7. Install the server:
    > make install
    Note that you will need to be logged in as superuser (root) to perform this step and the following
    steps in the Apache installation.
8. Start the Apache daemon:
    > /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
9. Add the command to start Apache to whatever boot scripts you like, so the server starts every
    time you reboot. For example:
    > echo ‘/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

Install PHP
Follow these steps to install PHP:

1. Go to the PHPWeb site (www.php.net) and download the latest stable version of PHP.
2. Grab the tarball, named something along the lines of php-4.3.x.tar.gz.
3. Open a console window, and change the directory (cd) to the folder where you downloaded
    the tarball.
4. Next, extract the tarball, and change to the directory it creates:
    > tar –xzf php-4.3.3.tar.gz
    > cd httpd-4.3.3
5. Configure the source:
    > ./configure \
    —with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
    —with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
    Make sure you point to the correct locations for the Apache 2 apxs binary, and the base of the
    MySQL installation directory. There are numerous configuration options for PHP, and we would
    almost need a chapter just to describe them all. For a complete list of configuration options, run
    ./configure -help.
6. Compile the source:
    > make
7. Install PHP.
    > make install
    You will need to be logged in as superuser (root) to perform this step.
    At this point, you should configure your php.ini file as you like and verify that the necessary directives
    have been placed in Apache’s httpd.conf file.

Basics of Indian Share Market


       Share Market
        A common platform where buyers and sellers come together to transact in stocks and shares. It may be a physical entity where brokers trade on a physical trading floor via an "open outcry" system or a virtual environment.
        Electronic Trading
Electronic trading eliminates the need for physical trading floors. Brokers can trade from their offices, using fully automated screen-based processes. Their workstations are connected to a Stock Exchange's central computer via satellite using Very Small Aperture Terminus (VSATs). The orders placed by brokers reach the Exchange's central computer and are matched electronically.

        Exchanges in India
The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are the country's two leading Exchanges. 
Equity
Funds brought into a business by its shareholders is called equity. It is a measure of a stake of a person or group of persons starting a business. When you buy a company's equity, you are in effect financing it, and being compensated with a stake in the business. You become part-owner of the company, entitled to dividends and other benefits that the company may announce, but without any guarantee of a return on your investments.
Index
An Index is a comprehensive measure of market trends, intended for investors who are concerned with general stock market price movements. An Index comprises stocks that have large liquidity and market capitalization. Each stock is given a weightage in the Index equivalent to its market capitalization. At the NSE, the capitalization of NIFTY (fifty selected stocks) is taken as a base capitalization, with the value set at 1000. Similarly, BSE Sensitive Index or Sensex comprises 30 selected stocks. The Index value compares the day's market capitalization vis-a-vis base capitalization and indicates how prices in general have moved over a period of time.
Broker
As per SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India.) regulations, only registered members can operate in the stock market. One can trade by executing a deal only through a registered broker of a recognized Stock Exchange or through a SEBI-registered sub-broker.
Contract note
A contract note describes the rate, date, time at which the trade was transacted and the brokerage rate. A contract note issued in the prescribed format establishes a legally enforceable relationship between the client and the member in respect of trades stated in the contract note. These are made in duplicate and the member and the client both keep a copy each. A client should receive the contract note within 24 hours of the executed trade. Corporate Benefits/Action
Book-closure/Record date
Book closure refers to the closing of register of the names or investors in the records of a company. Companies announce book closure dates from time to time. The benefits of dividends, bonus issues, rights issue accruing to investors whose name appears on the company's records as on a given date, is known as the record date.
   
        Difference between book closure and record date
In case of a record date, the company does not close its register of security holders. Record date is the cut off date for determining the number of registered members who are eligible for the corporate benefits. In case of book closure, shares cannot be sold on an Exchange bearing a date on the transfer deed earlier than the book closure. This does not hold good for the record date.
No-delivery period

Whenever a company announces a book closure or record date, the Exchange sets up a no-delivery (ND) period for that security. During this period only trading is permitted in the security. However, these trades are settled only after the no-delivery period is over. This is done to ensure that investor's entitlement for the corporate benefit is clearly determined.

Ex-dividend date
         The date on or after which a security begins trading without the dividend (cash or stock) included in
          the contract price.
    
        Ex-date
        The first day of the no-delivery period is the ex-date. If there is any corporate benefits such as rights,
         bonus, dividend announced for which book closure/record date is fixed, the buyer of the shares on
         or after the ex-date will not be eligible for the benefits.

         Bonus Issue
While investing in shares the motive is not only capital gains but also a proportionate share of surplus generated from the operations once all other stakeholders have been paid. But the distribution of this surplus to shareholders seldom happens. Instead, this is transferred to the reserves and surplus account. If the reserves and surplus amount becomes too large, the company may transfer some amount from the reserves account to the share capital account by a mere book entry. This is done by increasing the number of shares outstanding and every shareholder is given bonus shares in a ratio called the bonus ratio and such an issue is called bonus issue. If the bonus ratio is 1:2, it means that for every two shares held, the shareholder is entitled to one extra share. So if a shareholder holds two shares, post bonus he will hold three.

         Split
         A Split is book entry wherein the face value of the share is altered to create a greater number of
         shares outstanding without calling for fresh capital or altering the share capital account.  For      example,
if a company announces a two-way split, it means that a share of the face value of Rs 10 is split   into two shares of face value of Rs 5 each and a person holding one share now holds two shares.
 
         Buy Back
         As the name suggests, it is a process by which a company can buy back its shares  from                
shareholders. A company may buy back its shares in various ways: from existing shareholders on a proportionate basis; through a tender offer from open market; through a book-building process;        from the Stock Exchange; or from odd lot holders.A company cannot buy back through negotiated         deals on or off the Stock Exchange, through spot transactions or through any private arrangement.         Clearing and Settlement.

        Settlement cycle
The accounting period for the securities traded on the Exchange. On the NSE, the cycle begins on Wednesday and ends on the following Tuesday, and on the BSE the cycle commences on Monday and ends on Friday. At the end of this period, the obligations of each broker are calculated and the brokers settle their respective obligations as per the rules, bye-laws and regulations of the Clearing Corporation. If a transaction is entered on the first day of the settlement, the same will be settled on the eighth working day excluding the day of transaction. However, if the same is done on the last day of the settlement, it will be settled on the fourth working day excluding the day of transaction.
         Rolling settlement
The rolling settlement ensures that each day's trade is settled by keeping a fixed gap of a specified number of working days between a trade and its settlement. At present, this gap is five working days after the trading day. The waiting period is uniform for all trades.
 
         Short selling
Short selling is a legitimate trading strategy. It is a sale of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers take the risk that they will be able to buy the stock at a more favorable price than the price at which they "sold short."
         Auction
An auction is conducted for those securities that members fail to deliver/short deliver during pay-in. Three factors primarily give rise to an auction: short deliveries, un-rectified bad deliveries, un-rectified company objections.
         The buy/sell auction for a capital market security is managed through the auction market. As opposed to the normal market where trade matching is an on-going process, the trade matching process for auction starts after the auction period is over.
Demat
Demat is a commonly used abbreviation of Dematerialisation, which is a process whereby securities like shares, debentures are converted from the "material" (paper documents) into electronic data and stored in the computers of an electronic Depository.
Depositories
A Depository is a securities "bank," where dematerialised physical securities are held in custody, and from where they can be traded. This facilitates faster, risk-free and low cost settlement. A Depository is akin to a bank and performs activities similar in nature.At present, there are two Depositories in India, National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and Central Depository Services (CDS). NSDL was the first Indian Depository. It was inaugurated in November 1996. NSDL was set up with an initial capital of Rs 124 crore, promoted by Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI), Unit Trust of India (UTI), National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. (NSEIL) and the State Bank of India (SBI).
       
         Depository Participant (DP)
NSDL carries out its activities through business partners - Depository Participants (DPs), Issuing Corporates and their Registrars and Transfer Agents, Clearing Corporations/Clearing Houses. NSDL is electronically linked to each of these business partners via a satellite link through Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATS). The entire integrated system (including the VSAT linkups and the software at NSDL and at each business partner's end) has been named the "NEST" (National Electronic Settlement & Transfer) system. The investor interacts with the Depository through a Depository Participant of NSDL. A DP can be a bank, financial institution, a custodian or a broker.
IPO
An IPO is an abbreviation for Initial Public Offer. When a company goes public for the first time or issues a fresh stock of shares, it offers it to the public directly. This happens in the primary market. The primary market is where a company makes its first contact with the public at large.


          
        Book Building
Book Building is a process used for marketing a public offer of equity shares of a company and is a common practice in most developed countries. Book Building is so-called because the collection of bids from investors are entered in a "book". These bids are based on an indicative price range. The issue price is fixed after the bid closing date.

         EPS
Earning Per Share (EPS): EPS represents the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. Net income (reported or estimated) for a period of time is divided by the total number of shares outstanding during that period. It is one of the measures of the profitability of common shareholder's investments. It is given by profit after tax (PAT) divided by number of common shares outstanding.
P/E
Price Earning Multiple (P/E): Price earning multiple is ratio between market value per share and earning per share.
MV/BV
Book Value (BV): (of a common share) The company's Net worth (which is paid-up capital + reserves & surplus) divided by number of shares outstanding. Market value to book value ratio (MV/BV ratio): It is the ratio between the market price of a security and Book Value of the security.
         Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is the study of historic price movements of securities and trading volumes.
         Technical analysts believe that prices of the securities are determined largely by forces of demand and supply. Share prices move in patterns which are easily identifiable. Crucial insights into these patterns can be obtained by keeping track of price charts, leading to predictions that a stock price may move up or down. The belief is that by knowing the past, future prices can predicted.
