How to improve forecasting accuracy?

I got some users' history data and generated some sequences of real numbers. The length of each sequence is between 15 and 25. What's more, I do not know whether these sequences have patterns and the frequency is not known as well.

My goal is using each sequence to predict its next value, and then I use auto.arima in R to do this. However, the accuracy of the prediction is low.

Anyone have any good ideas to improve the accuracy?

One of these sequences is:
