Abstract

The foreign exchange (Forex) market is globally recognized as one of the most prominent financial markets. In this paper, we focus on three major currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF, spanning from January 2007 to July 2022. We employ a range of techniques, including technical indicators, feature scaling, and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) network, to predict the closing price one day ahead of the current day. Our method demonstrates superior performance compared to other state-of-the-art approaches, achieving remarkably low Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) of 0.0046, 0.0063, and 0.0039 for the respective currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF.
