Re: [RT] in search of the grail

Using an approach in which a Fourier analysis is made of the last
n number of cycles of a given period and then from that information
computing if the next days market (measured by the close to close)
is up or down we get some better figures:
 
 
If we take a combination of a 3 bar cycle and a 5 bar cycle, using
only one cycle back to determine phase and amplitude, we are able
to predict the direction of the next close with a 66.98% accuracy.
 
Two cycle analysis is only 58.05%
 
Using a 3+5+8 cycle with one cycle evaluation results in  65.60%
That drops to 56.16% if we use three cycle evaluation.
 
And finally with a 3+4+5+6 period cycles with one cycle evaluation
we achieve a 68.37% accuracy.
 
Once we pass a 7 period cycle, the performance deteriorates.

Subject: [RT] in search of the grail

Just for amusement, I have been trying to see if I can guess the market close.  Not the exact price, just will it close higher or lower than yesterday.  As I sit here with my three computers, ten monitors, and several years experience trading for a living, I am amazed that I cannot seem to do it with any consistency.  I figure it's about a fifty-fifty shot and by trying everything I can think of, I might get as high as fifty three percent.  I've been using the E-mini close to try it. Honestly, I figured with my experience and technology I would be able to get it right in the high seventy percent range.

 

 

 

Anybody on the list care to try it, post their results, and give some clues as to how they do it?
