Reading this window

The projection called for Directional Movement (ADX) to fall, while it rose instead. The market travelled further than projected — the projection covered only 0.78 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 72% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 19 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 11 (9:55 PM ET), where they sat 1.92239 apart, and furthest at bar 27 (10:12 PM ET) with a gap of 17.245. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 21 (10:06 PM ET), a move of +2.12146. The projected path stayed on one side of the recorded values for the whole 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 E mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
