X PLUS-MINUS is a privately developed forecasting methodology to be used mainly in the financial markets.
The main goal of the research team was to develop a forecasting procedure, which would allow identifying the correlation between two precise markets moments, the two random variables for the forecast.
The development of this brand new system took several years, and the actual quality of their results is quite exceptional. (The main researcher aims to achieve an even higher quality standard)
Applying this bespoke analysis and computing procedure to forecast de development of a product between those two marks, the result would reflect the relative market position of the product at the second mark.
This stage of the procedure requires the use of specially developed algorithms, behaviour analyses and of some (but not less influential) computing external parameters.
The result obtained is expressed in a mathematical symbol:
*The Plus Sign "+" for a higher position at the second mark
*The Minus Sign "−" for a lower position at the second mark
Forecasts
Practical use
The research team worked with a handful of carefully selected market participants, which applied the present results to real market situations, giving them an important practical feedback.
According to the information publicized by X Plus Minus the methodology is being used presently to forecast the (Eurex), and the result being tested on real market situations, by another group of market participants.
Other products can also be forecasted, such as:
*Currencies
**Crossrates such as EUR-USD
*Precious metals
**i.e. Gold price
*Indices
**DAX
**STOXX (i.e. EuroSTOXX)
**S&P
**Dow Jones
**...and some others
*Energy
**i.e. Oil (Crude)
Future developmet
The actual forecasts quality is being reviewed by some of the major banks and prime brokers in Europe and the team is considering on marketing the forecasts in a near future.
Until date, the methodology was not publicized, nor presented for selling. This situation is to change in a near future.
As the research team will not publicize the methodology, the solution would be proposing the forecast as such (the PLUS or MINUS results).
