Cocoa Commodity Forecast - Naive Prediction

CCUSD Commodity   8,963  328.00  3.80%   
The Naive Prediction forecasted value of Cocoa on the next trading day is expected to be 9,367 with a mean absolute deviation of 255.50 and the sum of the absolute errors of 15,586. Investors can use prediction functions to forecast Cocoa's commodity prices and determine the direction of Cocoa's future trends based on various well-known forecasting models. However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
  
A naive forecasting model for Cocoa is a special case of the moving average forecasting where the number of periods used for smoothing is one. Therefore, the forecast of Cocoa value for a given trading day is simply the observed value for the previous period. Due to the simplistic nature of the naive forecasting model, it can only be used to forecast up to one period.

Cocoa Naive Prediction Price Forecast For the 25th of November

Given 90 days horizon, the Naive Prediction forecasted value of Cocoa on the next trading day is expected to be 9,367 with a mean absolute deviation of 255.50, mean absolute percentage error of 100,602, and the sum of the absolute errors of 15,586.
Please note that although there have been many attempts to predict Cocoa Commodity prices using its time series forecasting, we generally do not recommend using it to place bets in the real market. The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Cocoa's next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).

Cocoa Commodity Forecast Pattern

Cocoa Forecasted Value

In the context of forecasting Cocoa's Commodity value on the next trading day, we examine the predictive performance of the model to find good statistically significant boundaries of downside and upside scenarios. Cocoa's downside and upside margins for the forecasting period are 9,363 and 9,370, respectively. We have considered Cocoa's daily market price to evaluate the above model's predictive performance. Remember, however, there is no scientific proof or empirical evidence that traditional linear or nonlinear forecasting models outperform artificial intelligence and frequency domain models to provide accurate forecasts consistently.

Model Predictive Factors

The below table displays some essential indicators generated by the model showing the Naive Prediction forecasting method's relative quality and the estimations of the prediction error of Cocoa commodity data series using in forecasting. Note that when a statistical model is used to represent Cocoa commodity, the representation will rarely be exact; so some information will be lost using the model to explain the process. AIC estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher its quality.

This model is not at all useful as a medium-long range forecasting tool of Cocoa. This model is simplistic and is included partly for completeness and partly because of its simplicity. It is unlikely that you'll want to use this model directly to predict Cocoa. Instead, consider using either the moving average model or the more general weighted moving average model with a higher (i.e., greater than 1) number of periods, and possibly a different set of weights.

Sophisticated investors, who have witnessed many market ups and downs, anticipate that the market will even out over time. This tendency of Cocoa's price to converge to an average value over time is called mean reversion. However, historically, high market prices usually discourage investors that believe in mean reversion to invest, while low prices are viewed as an opportunity to buy.
