Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to fall across the window, and it fell. The projection overshot: it called for 1.45 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 72% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 21 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 30 (6:57 AM ET), where they sat 1.13801 apart, and furthest at bar 26 (6:54 AM ET) with a gap of 4.60663. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 29 (6:57 AM ET), a move of -1.60302. The projected path stayed on one side of the recorded values for the whole window.

About MACD on a 1 minute chart

MACD tracks the distance between two exponential moving averages of price; the line above moves as that distance widens or narrows. 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.
