Abstract

Research is geared towards identifying and testing the utility of a set of technical analysis indicators in the portfolio management strategies, from the perspective of the prediction capacity related to stock price movements. The research was aimed at identifying relevant indicators of technical analysis through questionnaires applied to the investor community and their utility between January and May 2018 for a sample of seven listed entities within the BET-XT index. The results obtained confirm an average degree of efficiency for the most representative indicators used in the technical analysis.
