ABSTRACT
Technical analysis involves a study of market generated data like price and volumes to
determine the future directions of price movements. The term technical analysis is used to mean
a wide range of techniques all based on the concept that past information on the prices and
trading volume of stocks gives the enlightened investor a picture of what lies ahead. It attempts
to explain and forecast changes in security prices by studying only the market data rather than
information about a company or its prospects as is done in fundamental analysis.
The required data are collected from the Paterson securities PVT LTD. This is
divided into two categories. They are primary and secondary data. Secondary data are already
existing data like previous months stock prices.
The major objective of the projects is to find our appropriate time to buy and sell
securities based on selected indicators.
The different methods use to analysis the trends of the securities are exponential moving
average (EMA), moving average convergence divergence (MACD), Relative strength index
(RSI), Candle stick and rate of change (ROC).
COMPANY PROFILE
ABOUT PATERSON
Over the years the Paterson Group has built a diversified customer profile consisting of
leading financial institutions, large corporate groups, high net worth individual clients, NRIs and
a large retail clientele of over 12,000.
Many men, able and experienced, have steered the firm over the years, through changes and
developments, yet on the same guiding principles. As a result, the operations have always been
contemporary in their currency, and historic upon review.
Started in 1892 as Huson, Tod & Co., the firm was the first stock broking house in South India,
and was trading across global stock broking platforms, like the London Stock Exchange,
Malaysian Stock Exchange, Singapore Stock Exchange, to name a few.
In 1935, it was acquired by Mr. R. C. Paterson, who was later joined by Mr. H. Haddow as a
partner. Subsequently >K. S. Vaidyanathan and Mr. E. V. Rajagopalan, successfully steered the
company in the early years and developed it into a formidable force in the Indian capital
markets.
Mr. Vepa Ramesam, who retired in 1993, played a considerable role in the development of the
company.
Mr. V. Sriram, former Chairman of the company, had been with the company for close to 45
years at the time of retiring in 2009 and played a significant role in positioning the company for
its next phase of growth. He smoothly managed the transition from being a privately held
company to becoming a part of a global conglomerate, thus preparing a historic brand like
Paterson for a new era of growth.
In 2009, Paterson became a subsidiary of Hinduja Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. and the organisation
is currently headed by Mr. Ivan Schouker as Chairman and Mr. M. Amarnath as the CEO.

Debt Instuments
Paterson Securities offers its clients the opportunity to participate in one of the safest financial
instruments – Debt. A debt instrument is any document used or issued for raising money, for
example, a bill of exchange, bond, or promissory note. It is in essence a contractual or written
promise to repay a debt.
• Government Securities
• Bonds issued by Corporate bodies, including Banks and Public Financial Institutions
In most cases a debt instrument can be sold, traded, or otherwise used as a form of currency or
barter, with the debt owed to the debt instrument's current holder. A debt instrument backed by a
government agency – such as a Government of India Treasury Bond – or a highly-rated
corporate bond with a fixed rupee payment may be defined as an asset. Defaulting on a debt
instrument may result in the loss of the pledged collateral, or in a reduction of the credit rating of
the entity which issued the debt instrument.
• Personalised Service
• Expertise in buying and selling bonds to suit client’s needs
• Pioneers in the field with strong network
Currency Derivatives
Currency derivative is a contract between the seller and buyer, whose value is to be derived from
