Reading this window

The projection called for MACD to fall across the window, and it fell. The two moves were close in size: the projection covered 0.96 times the distance the market actually travelled. Bar to bar, 83% of the moves ran the same way as the projection, and 28 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 19 (3:43 AM ET), where they sat 0.00576635 apart, and furthest at bar 0 (10:01 AM ET) with a gap of 3.83326. The largest single bar change in the recorded values came at bar 14 (11:47 PM ET), a move of -2.01584. The projected and recorded paths crossed at least once inside the window.

About MACD on a 59 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 59 minute timeframe a 30 bar projection covers 29.5 hours of trading, so the window above describes 29.5 hours of Micro E mini Nasdaq 100 activity rather than a single print.
