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 0.78 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 69% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 24 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 6 (2:27 AM ET), where they sat 0.104212 apart, and furthest at bar 29 (2:51 AM ET) with a gap of 10.4939. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 10 (2:32 AM ET), a move of +2.5305. 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 E mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
