    $\begingroup$ I'm mot saying this is the best way, but how about reversing the order of the time series and forecasting into the future of the reversed time series? $\endgroup$ Apr 3, 2018 at 16:58

    $\begingroup$ There might be some logical cut-off point for the past. Like the AirPassengers dataset in R, it would be meaningless to predict before 1903. I say this because it seems like you data set is close to 0 around the beginning. Is there a true 0 point for your variable? $\endgroup$ Apr 3, 2018 at 17:17
