If so then a small time window is not a problem, as long as you accept your rules may need more frequent optimisation than if you had used a longer time frame.

65% Accuracy in the FX Spot market

QuoteOriginally posted by: kennethloua model can tell whether tomorrow's FX Spot price will go up or down by an accuracy of 65%Since there is no way to really know a model's future accuracy, the more interesting model is the one you are using to predict its future accuracy. What model are you using to predict the accuracy rate of your spot-price predictor, and how long does it predict this 65% accuracy rate will last?
