Thrust duplexes account for large fractions of the total shortening in most fold-thrust belts (FTBs). They also provide an efficient mechanism for transferring slip upward from the basal decollement and for transporting roof thrust sheets over long distances. The Lesser Himalayan duplex (LHD) plays a prominent role in the overall evolution of the Himalayan FTB and has been described from Garhwal-Kumaon to Bhutan. In Sikkim the LHD shows unique structural geometry and has been responsible for transporting crystalline thrust sheets (MCT 1 and MCT 2) farther southward than other parts of the Himalaya. Such lateral variations in LHD geometry imply variations in the kinematic history of the Lesser Himalaya and variations in shortening and shortening history along the length of the Himalayan arc, and these are reflected in observable large scale structural patterns.Keywords

Technical Analysis (TA) is a mechanical trading technique for identifying and forecasting the stock price depending upon the historical data. It does not indicate the exact future price of stock but forecast the trend and momentum of a stock price. We have taken Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and State Bank of India for conducting our study. These four banks constituted 79% shares of Bank Nifty. These sample companies are selected on the basis of their market capitalization in banking sector and largest customer dealing network.
Present paper actually is a comparative study of 'buy and hold' strategy with strategy suggested by TA. We have applied Moving Average (MA) and its improvisations as TA trading tool for conducting the study. Data have been collected from secondary sources for the period of four months starting from 2nd September, 2013 to 31th December, 2013.
Our investigation shows that TA is not always profitable in the entire market segment and in all the time horizons.
