Jim,
 
Why would anyone go to the time and trouble to 
formulate the data, do the analysis required, apply all of the screening 
tests and then take the risk of attempting to predict the future for a paltry 
$1,000?
 
Thanks
Tom

  Clyde,
  You are correct. The definition of a reversal is 
  as follows:
  For a high pivot, the reversal is confirmed by a 
  close below the low of the bar with the highest high. For a low pivot, the 
  reversal is confirmed by the close above the high of the bar with the lowest 
  low. Prediction of the next reversal high or low must be posted with email 
  date of that day. And yes I am restricting the challenge to daily data as a 
  matter of practicality.
  Jim

    Jim,
     
    For this to be a viable challenge you must 
    specify what is a "REVERSAL" for
    purposes of this test.
     
    The definition must be one for which an 
    algorithm can be written to detect all
    reversals that are to be considered and such 
    must be a reasonable 
    approach to determining such 
    reversals.
     
    Until this definition exists then it would be 
    foolish to begin to try to predict
    undefined reversals.
     
    From your post it would seem that you are 
    looking at daily data.  Is that a
    correct assumption or are other time intervals 
    for price measurement
    to be considered.

      Perhaps my challenge went unnoticed. I 
      believe that predicting the price of a reversal is not possible. If anyone 
      can prove a method that will predict the reversal price of a market within 
      50% of the five day average range, 80% % of the time . I will pay you 
      $1000.00. The rules are simple. Predict ahead of time by this list the 
      reversal price for 100 observations and have 80 % or more within  
      actual reversal price +/- 25% of average daily range. Are there any 
      takers?
