Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to rise, while it fell instead. The market travelled further than projected — the projection covered only 0.65 times the realised distance. Bar to bar, 76% 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 8 (3:46 PM ET), where they sat 0.0565391 apart, and furthest at bar 28 (4:07 PM ET) with a gap of 26.2334. The largest single-bar change in the recorded values came at bar 23 (4:02 PM ET), a move of -5.88776. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the 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.
