However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
Most investors in Heat Oil cannot accurately predict what will happen the next trading day because, historically, index markets tend to be unpredictable and even illogical. Modeling turbulent structures requires applying different statistical methods, techniques, and algorithms to find hidden data structures or patterns within the Heat Oil's time series price data and predict how it will affect future prices. One of these methodologies is forecasting, which interprets Heat Oil's price structures and extracts relationships that further increase the generated results' accuracy.
A commonly used 20-period moving average forecast model for Heat Oil is based on a synthetically constructed Heat Oildaily price series in which the value for a trading day is replaced by the mean of that value and the values for 20 of preceding and succeeding time periods. This model is best suited for price series data that changes over time.

This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Heat Oil moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Heat Oil moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
