Using Indicators in Predictions

You can use the TimeBars, Consolidated Bars, and Adaptive Consolidated Bars indicators as you would any other indicator as an input to a Prediction.

Number of Hidden Neurons

If you using the InterChart Tools2 indicators in a Prediction, it is suggested that you decrease the number of hidden neurons used to create the model to 1 or 2 hidden neurons.  You can make this change in the Prediction Wizard after selecting inputs.  Click on the Modify Prediction Parameters button and then choose the Training Tab, Advanced Training Parameters.  If this item is not displayed on the Training tab, click on the Options button and click on the Select All button.

Optimize Data Stream

If you don't know which data stream you want to use in your Prediction, you can use either the Time Bars Indicator or the Consolidated Bar Indicator as an input and let the optimizer select the optimal display parameter.  For example, if the optimization chooses 2 as the Display parameter in the indicator when it is used as an input to a prediction, the value of the (High + Low) / 2 will be used to compute the Prediction.
