Current Economic Model Prediction
As of the 25th of October the Economic Model changed signal from sideways to bullish. So far the out of sample predictions since its creation have been quite useful for trading during these tricky markets. While Fed day is tomorrow and could change market sentiment, the economic numbers continue to show that we are not nearing recession territory. This prediction is in contrast to many pessimistic news articles that have been published over the last two months. Ultimately news articles focus on very recent data and tend to isolate a few specific indicators that may no longer have much predictive value (or are context dependent). That was the reason for developing an integrated model that uses 50 different indicators along with dozens of derivatives of the same time series within a decision-tree framework. This model will be featured in real-time on our upcoming website.

Hi David, long a fan of your work. Appreciate this announcement and look forward to seeing your new model. My work in gamma exposure leads me to also conclude that this bull has more upside.
Thanks Stephen, much appreciated. That sounds like interesting analysis- I assume that uses dark pool data?
best regards,
David
This has me very, *very* interested. As someone whose volatility strategy would absolutely love to avoid sideways markets for certain trend-following strategies, I would love to see this model’s history of regime prediction and see how it can help various trend-following strategies avoid sideways markets–and moreover, if with such a model, it would be possible to deploy a mean-reverting model in those times to success.
Thanks Ilya, hope you are well. I have already done the backtests and will present them at some point soon. The live model is already available (currently for free) on the css analytics website
best regards,
david
Would it be possible for the results to be stored in a CSV format?
David. Thank you again for your work. I’ve been studied and do all kind of backtesting with your Economic Model. If I can ask, do you plan to update the prediction for the next 3 months. I think the last prediction was from the end of January. Thank you and sorry for asking
Hi Juan, thank you. You can see the model which is updated every 2 days or so on Investor IQ http://cssanalytics.com/ under “Economic Model”
best regards,
David
Thank you for answering my question during these crazy and volatile markets. Yes, I saw that the model is updated almost daily but shouldn’t a prediction be made every month for the following three months?. There is a monthly prediction, but the last one was done on January. Isn’t the February prediction covering March, April and May missing?
