Reading this window

The projection called for Directional Movement (ADX) to rise, while it fell instead. The market travelled further than projected — the projection covered only 0.71 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 69% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 18 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 2 (8:50 PM ET), where they sat 0.184651 apart, and furthest at bar 7 (8:56 PM ET) with a gap of 11.4218. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 5 (8:54 PM ET), a move of -2.25264. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the window.

About Directional Movement (ADX) on a 1 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 1 minute timeframe a 30 bar projection covers 30 minutes of trading, so the window above describes 30 minutes of Micro E mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
