Technical Analysis, Financial Influencers, Risk Perception, Sharia Stock Trading DecisionAbstract
This study aims to examine[RJ1] the effects of technical analysis knowledge, financial influencers, and risk perception on Sharia stock trading decisions among Generation Z investors at the Sharia Investment Gallery (SIG) of Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. This study employs a quantitative approach involving 100 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through an online questionnaire administered from July to late August 2026 and analysed[RJ2] using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics version 26. The results indicate that technical analysis knowledge and risk perception have positive and statistically significant effects on Sharia stock trading decisions, whereas financial influencers have a positive but statistically insignificant effect. Simultaneously, all three independent variables have a statistically significant effect on Sharia stock trading decisions.
