Here is 8/11's forecast vs what actually happened on the ES. As interdim said, don't look at the magnitude of the waves on his chart because they are not suggestive of the actual magnitude of the movement. This isn't even my thread and I'm still annoyed because I feel like people aren't understanding that. I highlighted the key points with blue vertical lines so you can see that where his spline began to change direction, the ES also began to change direction in most cases.
and the 8-10 forecast. All the points didn't match up here, but the "huge" rally at the end was right. It missed the opening high time, but the forecast still suggested that you shouldn't go long at all until near the end of the day, and after the opening high, going long wouldn't have been a good idea. Posting these for people who browse from their phones or whatever and can't see the .xls files.
Included here are the 5min/15min charts from the 6/24/09 FOMC MEETING announcement and the 45min charts for that week 6/22/09-6/26/09.

It will likely be obvious to you what chart MCO is following. Also the forecast takes you until the end of 2009. *Note- New Information* - It is quite natural to equate the amplitude of the up and down price movements with the TCT charts. HOWEVER, DO NOT LOOK AT THE SEGMENTS OF DATA POINTS ON THE TCT GRAPHS AS A MEASUREMENT OF THE AMPLITUDE OF UP AND DOWN PRICE MOVEMENTS, AS IT IS A MATTER OF FORM, TREND OR DIRECTION OF THE MARKET OVER THE GENERAL TIME LINE. To assist you in recognizing this aspect draw right to left channel lines in the form of parallelograms from pivot points. Go back over previous price charts and draw the channel lines and then look at the past B or C TCT charts for those given dates. Although there are advanced techniques for determining which B or C chart to follow, creating channels in the described manner will assist you in determining which chart the market is following in the forecast. They should be followed in real time to get a better understanding unless you are looking at past data. *Note- More New Information* Sometimes when one is expecting prices to be moving up or down, a sell off or rally from the data, often price will go into, or form a price Lateral. This is actually representing what you are expecting in the data. Typically this will occur in a countertrend situation, not to say it canât or wonât happen in the trending component. For example if the market is in an uptrend, and the data says weâre approaching a time frame where it appears a sell off is going to occur, the market (price) sometimes will go into a Lateral and then resumes the upward trend. What appeared as a sell off (in amplitude) was represented in the form of a price Lateral. The opposite may occur in a downtrend. What appears to be a countertrend rally (in amplitude) in the downtrend, the market (price) sometimes will go into or form a Lateral and then resumes the downward trend. A similar situation may be represented in the TCT graph data points. When the TCT data points are moving in a sideways pattern, up and down in a choppy way, depending on how the market was trending or moving into this time frame, this sideways pattern may represent a continuance or actual change in the trend, and the amplitude of the price move may be significant compared to the up and down, choppy pattern of the data points. These events do occur and by studying the data you will begin to understand and recognize them. *Note* - Added to the TCT spreadsheet is a Daily and Weekly forecast for the Yen. The Yen Daily forecast is from 7-20-09 to 8-28-09. The Yen Weekly forecast is from 7-24-09 to 2-12-10 Comments about the forecasts will be made on occasion.

What I am talking about is for es, you have a graph of the yen. Is this for only trading the yen, or do you trade es futures? If so, can you include a graph or chart of the es with that data?
[/B][/QUOTE] Per OP telling me today was like es5c, I have uploaded image with comparison to actual 5 min es chart.
