Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to fall across the window, and it fell. The projection overshot: it called for 1.75 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 66% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 20 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.

About MACD on a 2-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 2-minute timeframe a 30-bar projection covers 1 hours of trading, so the window above describes 1 hours of Micro E-mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
