Reading this window

The projection called for Directional Movement (ADX) to rise across the window, and it rose. The market travelled further than projected — the projection covered only 0.79 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 86% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 29 of the 30 bars finished on the projected side of the opening reading. One window is a single observation, not a pattern; it is published here so the projection and the outcome can be checked against each other.

How the window developed

The two paths were closest at bar 25 (9:40 PM ET), where they sat 0.385648 apart, and furthest at bar 14 (7:10 PM ET) with a gap of 5.91707. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 26 (10:10 PM ET), a move of +1.42375. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the window.

About Directional Movement (ADX) on a 15 minute chart

ADX summarises how strongly a market is trending, without saying which way. Higher readings mean a more persistent move, in either direction. On the 15 minute timeframe a 30 bar projection covers 7.5 hours of trading, so the window above describes 7.5 hours of Micro E mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
