From the Paper:

"Hence technical analysis concentrates on the study of the market prices themselves rather than an evaluation of those factors directly. This method requires a detailed study of, besides other things the actual daily, weekly and monthly price changes and is expected to give the most effective means to capitalize on the future direction of price movements. These strategies most often use a set of mathematical measurements and calculations to keep track of the market activity. Buy and sell decisions are then made on the basis of the output generated by the charts, manual calculations, computers or all of them put together."
