The Illusion of Predictability
October 2025

Many traders begin their journey with indicators. Moving Averages, RSI, MACD – all useful tools, but they share one fundamental flaw: they only describe the past. And in markets, the past is never a guarantee for the future. It may seem tempting to extract a statistical edge from indicators, but it never quite works out. Over short phases, they may deliver some results, but over longer periods, the hit rate never exceeds 50%. Why? Because you can’t predict those phases in advance, and exceptions can run on far too long.

Everyone knows markets can move in clear trends, or stay stuck in trading ranges – or a mix of both, across all timeframes. The problem, again, is that no one knows when a new phase will begin. If you could predict that, you’d be a millionaire – a billionaire – in no time! But reality is far more erratic: markets constantly shift shape, often without warning. Everything that can happen in markets and prices will happen. Even the extremely unlikely scenarios.

Why Many Robots Fail

Most Expert Advisors are built on a single assumption: either the market will trend, or it will range, or the system will be able to switch between the two at the right time. Sometimes this works – often it doesn’t. In practice, such robots tend to fall into one of two traps:

• many small wins, followed by a few large losses that destroy the balance; or
• a handful of big wins, but far too many small losses that eat away the gains.

Anyone who tests thoroughly comes to the same conclusion again and again: a strategy that depends on one specific market phase can never be sustainable. Try to build a bot that cleverly combines both types of movement, and Rule #1 kicks in again: prediction fails, and overshooting in the wrong direction will always happen. On top of that, you still have to deal with periods of extremely low volatility. An ADX won’t solve that either.

A Different Approach

After years of testing, we developed another method. Instead of trying to predict direction, we take the market as it is. We start from the simple assumption that we don’t know what will happen next – the future is unpredictable. Our approach is non-linear, not based on a mix of historical signals, but built on a matrix-like structure with numerous smart numerical features. Always with risk management at its core: stop losses, dynamic protection, and profit-taking mechanisms.

The result: a system that is independent of direction. The price is effectively “clamped” between risk and opportunity. This means traders no longer have to gamble on whether they are in a trend or a range. Backtests are strong, Z-scores show no curve-fitting. Best of all: risk is adjustable. For example, set a maximum of 4% risk on capital, and the system automatically calculates the corresponding position size. Again and again, we see equity curves that climb steadily – not in a straight line, but rising overall.

Why the DAX?

Many traders focus on Forex pairs like EUR/USD, or on SP500, gold, or Bitcoin. These are big markets, always in motion – but also overcrowded and sometimes chaotic. The DAX, however, is underappreciated in the world of automated trading. We see real opportunities here:

• A different kind of predictability: the DAX shows more repeatable patterns in volume and timing than Bitcoin or EUR/USD.
• This comes from its limited trading hours. Unlike global 24/7 markets, the DAX concentrates volume into specific hours, creating more tradeable dynamics.
• A balanced index with sufficient volume: the extremes of individual stocks are dampened, leading to more consistent movements.

For traders willing to look beyond the usual “hot” markets, the DAX offers surprising potential.

Conclusion

Markets are, by definition, unpredictable. Indicators can be useful, but they will never forecast the future. A robust strategy begins by accepting that you don’t need to know direction – as long as you approach uncertainty systematically.
