6E 30-Minute ATR: Prediction vs What Actually Happened, September 13 2026 6:30 PM ET

Educational reference. Data through Monday, September 14, 2026 at 9:00 AM ET. Measured from a recorded prediction and recorded market data — a historical window for learning purposes, not a prediction and not trading advice.

Average True Range measures how far price typically travels in a bar, so it describes volatility rather than direction. At 6:30 PM ET on Sunday, September 13, LiveCharts.AI predicted where ATR would go over the next 29 30-minute bars of Euro FX. The second chart shows the ATR values the market actually produced over the same window. Both panels share one scale, so the shapes can be compared directly.

How this page is selected

Four measurements on the ATR line have to agree for a window to be shown. Per-bar direction asks, for each interval, whether the prediction and the actual reading moved the same way — here 62.1%. Same side asks whether both stayed on the same side of the starting value — here 100.0%. Size compares how far each travelled — here 1.52×. Shape measures how closely the two lines follow each other overall — here 0.53, where 1.00 would be identical. All four have to pass; agreeing on direction while badly missing the size or the shape is not a match.

What it does and does not say

This is one recorded window, selected because the paths agreed. It is not a typical result, not an average, and not a claim about future accuracy. The prediction shown here had fully matured before this page was written, and was compared against recorded market data after the fact. Live predictions are part of the LiveCharts.AI platform and are not published here.
