Suppose you have 1 lakh Rs. and you need maximum returns.
Case 1) You are a short term trader.
Technique: Death Cross and Golden Cross
Death Cross: This is the combination of two moving averages. It is used when a shorter-time frame moving average crosses over a higher-time-frame moving average, indicating a trend reversal in favor of the bears. This pattern as a bearish indicator.
Golden Cross: This is the opposite of the death cross. When the short-term moving average of a stock or index moves above the long-term moving average. This pattern as a bullish indicator.
Here I am using 25 Day moving average and 100 days moving average.
Trade 1: 20% upside = 1,20,00 Rs.
Trade 2 : 16% further upside = 1,39,00 Rs.
Trade 3: 6% downside = 130,000 Rs.
Trade 4: 13% downside = 114,000 Rs.
Stock: Take any stock you like ( volatile stock is preferable).
Like Kaun Banega Crorepati, you can quit anytime and lifeline is you can put a stop loss of 5%. Whenever stock goes down 5% you can exit.
Possible upside: no limit
Possible downside: 10–15% (5% with stop loss).
Sometimes short term trades show massive upside/downside move, like today Jet Airways, soared 127% in a day.
Case 2) You are long term investor
Here I am using 50 Day moving average and 200 days moving average.
Technique: Death Cross and Golden Cross
Same stock.
Trade 1: 61% upside = 1,61,00 Rs.
Trade 2 : 64% further upside = 2,64,00 Rs.
Stock: Take any stock you like ( volatile stock is preferable).
Here also you can quit anytime and lifeline is you can put a stop loss of 5%. Whenever stock goes down 5% you can exit.
Possible upside: no limit
Possible downside: 10–15% (5% with stop loss).
Important: Not just the Golden cross and Death cross. You can also use Relative Strength Index (14), Stochastic %K (14, 3, 3), Awesome Oscillator, Momentum (10), MACD Level (12, 26), Stochastic RSI Fast (3, 3, 14, 14) , Williams Percent Range (14), Bull Bear Power, Ultimate Oscillator (7, 14, 28)), Exponential Moving Average (5)

Hence proved, Technical Analysis is effective and easy, isn’t it?
Note: Analysis of financial markets is either fundamental or technical. Fundamental analysis focuses on financial statements in assessing the condition of a company and in predicting its future performance. Technical analysis focuses on a stock’s historical price pattern, as portrayed on charts, to predict future price movements.
All the best.
