Understanding Price Forecast Charts

How do I know if a model is “good?”

Model accuracy can be quickly gauged by the Helium Score, where values range from 0 to +1 (+1.0 is a perfect score and 0 is terrible). The higher the helium score, the more confident the model is in its prediction ability. Helium score is the average correlation between what the model thought would happen and what actually happened.

Black Line: The black line is stock closing price (EOD price for Digital Assets). Hover your mouse for exact numbers. Click and drag to zoom in! Right click to zoom out.

Light Blue Line: The light blue line is Helium’s previously made price forecasts made a certain number of days before. Compare the light blue points (what the model predicted) to the black line (what actually happened) to gauge past performance.

When the light blue line tracks closely with the black line and a model has a high “Prediction vs Actual Correlation” value, this means a model has a better track record of predicting future returns.

Green/Red/Blue Cone: The green/red/blue cone is the model’s price prediction for the future in the form of a 80% confidence range. If the model is bullish, it will be green. If the model is bearish, it will be red. If it’s neutral on future price, it will be blue. Since it’s a 80% confidence interval, we can expect the interval to be wrong about 20% of the time.

Prediction Performance over Different Time Periods

Each tab indicates model performance made a number of days before. For example, under “4 Day Performance,” the blue line will represent 80% confidence forecasts made 4 days prior. Tabs with green values for Prediction vs Actual Correlation and other metrics indicate a more confident model. Values in red indicate a low performing model, which means that predictions and recommended trades have a poorer track record.

Following Stocks/Digital Assets
