Interesting thread ... maybe I missed it but you have not mentioned your broker - the reason I ask is because we all know that broker prices vary and what works for one does not necessarily work for another ... futures is clearly different so apologies if I missed it which is your broker (may need to be careful with your answer or you might be deemed as promoting and then made commercial .. PM may be best) and I did search for it in your posts and came up empty ...

Hello. Thank you for your attention and for the interesting question.

In each forecast, I include the price of the financial instrument at market close. Since the market is closed for everyone at that moment, it provides a common reference point for comparison. (Highlighted in the image).

The forecasts are currently calculated using a Forex/CFD environment. Of course, different brokers may have slightly different liquidity providers, spreads and quote feeds, but overall the price structure remains relatively similar across most Forex environments.
Most importantly, the forecasts are focused primarily on time levels (timings / Liquidity Activation Points). Because of that, small quote differences between brokers usually have much less influence compared to the timing structure itself.

The research is mainly focused on how the market reacts around specific timing windows rather than on exact price matching between brokers.

Futures markets are also very interesting from a timing research perspective, so perhaps they may be explored more deeply in the future as part of the ongoing research.

Best regards,
Iryna

Hello Rossy, thank you for sharing this and for your dedication and commitment.

What do you consider to be the balance point? Is it Pivots? Volume Weighted Average Price? Market/Volume Profile Point of Control? OHLC midpoint dealing range? Fibo 50%? or what do you consider to be the balance point?

Can we develop an indicator/EA to project the levels ahead of time?

Would incorporating algorithmic methods like Linear Regression, KNN, Lorentzian, Random Forest make it better or improve it or are you already using this?

I would love to know since I am fully invested in this and believe this is the missing puzzle in algorithmic price delivery. If we can determine liquidity points and key levels of price and add time factor the equation would be solved.

Thank you for the kind words regarding Ukraine. Yes, I live in Ukraine.

Perhaps I did not explain the idea clearly enough earlier.

The forecasts are published in advance for the entire upcoming trading week using UTC+3 timing references. The calculations are usually prepared between Saturday and Sunday before the market opens.

The 7-minute interval (or any other timing interval) is not based on one specific broker feed alone. It is part of a broader timing research process developed through long-term observation, optimization and comparative analysis of different financial instruments and market phases.

The research itself is not primarily focused on a specific Forex broker environment, but rather on recurring timing behavior and liquidity activation patterns observed across the market.

Also, the timings themselves are only one part of the framework. Context, price structure and market reaction are equally important.

The idea is not to claim precision on every movement, but to study whether recurring liquidity behavior exists around certain moments in time.

That is why the forecasts are published before the market reaction happens.

Best regards,
Iryna

Hello klopp433, and thank you for the thoughtful comment and interest in the research.

The “balance point” in my research is not limited to one classical concept such as VWAP, pivots, midpoint, POC or Fibonacci. Rather, it is a dynamic equilibrium zone formed through the interaction of multiple price structures and timing behavior.

Some traders may interpret balance through volume, others through liquidity, volatility, market profile or statistical deviations. I believe different approaches can coexist and still lead to valuable observations.

The main purpose of my research is not to promote one specific model, but to demonstrate that time itself may play a much larger role in market behavior than is commonly assumed.

As for indicators and automation — yes, technically many things are possible (the indicator and the bot were created a long time ago, and I continue improving them constantly). But I also believe it is important for traders and researchers to independently explore and develop ideas in the way that resonates most with them.

Linear Regression, KNN, Random Forest, statistical models and other algorithmic methods are all very interesting areas for experimentation. Different researchers may arrive at different, but equally valuable frameworks.

For me personally, the most important discovery over the years was not one specific indicator or formula, but the repeated observation that liquidity reactions often appear around certain timing structures.

That is the part of the research I continue to study and openly share here.

Best regards,
Iryna

can you pls also post nq and es futures timings? NQ has a very specific volatility and session structure. NQ is significantly "faster" than Gold & can complete a stop-hunt and a 50-point reversal in 90 seconds.

Gold usually reacts to the 8:30 AM EST (NY Open) economic data. NQ reacts to that and the 9:30 AM EST Stock Market Bell. This 9:30 AM timestamp is the single most important "Timing" for NQ and should be hardcoded as a high-weight window. Not sure if your algo accounts for this or not. I'd like to keep an closer eye on how nq reacts to these timings.

Thanks!

{quote} What is fascinating is that on the 60 min timings there are no sell timings until thursday at 21.00.
Treat timings as activation points of market movement. That is the most correct way to understand them.

The fact that we are able, with relatively high probability, to estimate the direction of a timing is only an additional decision-support element.

The true foundation of timings is not the direction itself, but the intervals where liquidity and market activity become activated.

Direction always depends on context.

That is why price structure, nearby levels, momentum behavior and market reaction remain extremely important parts of the analysis.

A timing is not simply a BUY or SELL signal.

It is a moment where the probability of market movement expansion increases.


Best regards,
Iryna

well what i had in mind when i wrote the previous comment was that NQ futures is in a huge rally. From aprox 23.000 points on 1st of april to almost 29.500 on the 12th of may. Selling at any point would have got you destroyed. I found it interesting that your prediction timings did not foresee any sell during this week except on tuesday evening and some on Friday. That's what i find fascinating.

If a timing is "not simply a BUY or SELL signal" then how did you figure out nq is more likely to buy than to sell?

Thanks
