^GSPC forecast for May-July using Neural Network
This is an approximate ^GSPC forecast for May-July (using Neural Network from experimental tool NNSTP-2).
Major points in numbers:
- May 4-8: up to almost 900 (evidently if bad news affects investors’ mood, it can go down instead)
- May 25-29: down to 870..800
- June 22-26: up to around 930
- July: massive selloff
Reminder: Forecast built on statistical methods may fail because of redistribution of driving factors – news, investors’ sentiments, regulatory impact, etc.
Important to notice: The recent forecast by pattern similarity shows earlier selloff.

^GSPC for May-June 2009, predicted by pattern similarity
The algorithm of InvAn prediction using pattern similarity is the following. It searches for the best match from the internal database by scanning all historical data. The ranking of all possible matches is calculated on the basis of minimum deviation and maximum correlation within given historical period (number of candlesticks). Pattern matching is performed using open, high, low, and close prices and volume data. When scanning is completed, it composes forecast using several best matched patterns (top ranked). The composite result is built as a weighted average with weights proportionally patterns’ ranks. More details can be found at www.addaptron.com
