Abstract: Molchan diagram method can not only evaluate the prediction efficiency of the observation data, but also quantitatively analyze the anomalies in data to obtain the anomaly identification index corresponding to the optimal threshold value. Based on three groups of representative data, new hydrogen raw data in Xin04 spring, water radon trend data in Xin10 spring and gas radon difference data in Xin43 spring, we introduced how to use the Molchan diagram method to analyze the prediction efficiency of observation data. Then, we analyzed the prediction efficiency of the fluid data with better efficiency in Xinjiang, and the earthquake prediction indexes were extracted. The results show that the earthquake prediction efficiency of fluid data in Xinjiang is different for different tectonic zones. The data of observation point distributed around Urumqi and North of Tianshan have better prediction efficiency for those earthquakes occurred in North Tianshan, and most of the data correspond to the short period predicted time, which indicates that the data could be used for the short-term earthquake prediction.
