These are simulated conditional distributions, not literal forecasts or guarantees. Bands describe model dispersion under historical assumptions; they do not establish where price must trade.

Prediction settings

The first ticker is the displayed prediction. Additional symbols are optional covariance context for the multivariate models.

Recommended defaults

XSP daily 63-day horizon, 800 paths, five-day blocks.
XSP intraday Five- or 15-minute data, 52 intervals ahead, 800 paths.
End-of-day projection Choose intraday data and “Until end of trading day.” The horizon contracts to the applicable market close.
Context basket Try XSP, SPY, QQQ, ^VIX. The first ticker remains the displayed output.
Interpretation Model agreement is useful context; disagreement is itself a risk signal.

Advance or restore the model paths

Each repeat is a separate undoable step. All four models advance before the next repeat begins.

All four median projections

This chart isolates the center path from each model so disagreement is easy to see.

Comparison of all four model median projections

Consensus projection bands

The pooled bands combine paths from all four models rather than treating one model as authoritative. The inner shaded band is the 25th–75th percentile range; the summary cards show its terminal values and the two inverse-e percentiles.

Stepped paths so far

These are the four independently evolving model anchors. Back one step restores all four together.

Historical bootstrap

Resamples individual observed return rows. Cross-asset relationships from each sampled row are preserved.

Block bootstrap

Resamples consecutive return blocks to preserve short-term volatility clustering and serial structure.

Correlated Monte Carlo

Draws jointly from the historical mean vector and covariance matrix. With one ticker, this reduces to Gaussian Monte Carlo.

Heavy-tail Student-t

Uses a multivariate Student-t process with five degrees of freedom to allow more frequent extreme moves.

What “prediction” means here

Each model estimates a conditional distribution from historical returns. The median is not a guaranteed target, and the displayed percentiles are not confidence intervals for the true future. They are quantiles of the simulated outcomes under the selected models and current settings. The consensus values pool terminal paths from all four models.
