There are different techniques that work.
The technique I use is HORRIFYING to most people and is dangerous if people were to get close especially when sharpening long knives, but I get my blades much sharper and with smaller blade angles than they can so I don't care.
I stroke the blade AWAY from myself from handle to tip and between 30 and 40 strokes per minute. That's 15-20 alternating strokes per side of the blade. I tell others to step back when I'm in motion.
