| description | Abstract Since it is one of the world's most significant financial markets, the foreign exchange (Forex) market has attracted a large number of investors. Accurately anticipating the forex trend has remained a popular but difficult issue to aid Forex traders' trading decisions. It is always a question of how precise a Forex prediction can be because of the market's tremendous complexity. The fast advancement of machine learning in recent decades has allowed artificial neural networks to be effectively adapted to several areas, including the Forex market. As a result, a slew of research articles aimed at improving the accuracy of currency forecasting has been released. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, which is a special kind of artificial neural network developed exclusively for time series data analysis, is frequently used. Due to its high learning capacity, the LSTM neural network is increasingly being utilized to predict advanced Forex trading based on previous data. This model, on the other hand, can be improved by stacking it. The goal of this study is to choose a dataset using the Hurst exponent, then use a two-layer stacked Long Short-Term Memory (TLS-LSTM) neural network to forecast the trend and conduct a correlation analysis. The Hurst exponent (h) was used to determine the predictability of the Australian Dollar and United States Dollar (AUD/USD) dataset. TLS-LSTM algorithm is presented to improve the accuracy of Forex trend prediction of Australian Dollar and United States Dollar (AUD/USD). A correlation study was performed between the AUD/USD, the Euro and the Australian Dollar (EUR/AUD), and the Australian Dollar and the Japanese Yen (AUD/JPY) to see how AUD/USD movement affects EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY. The model was compared with Single-Layer Long Short-Term (SL-LSTM), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise–Improved Firefly Algorithm Long Short-Term Memory. Based on the evaluation metrics Mean Square Error (MSE), Root Mean Square Error, and Mean Absolute Error, the suggested TLS-LSTM, whose data selection is based on the Hurst exponent (h) value of 0.6026, outperforms SL-LSTM, MLP, and CEEMDAN-IFALSTM. The correlation analysis conducted shows both positive and negative relations between AUD/USD, EUR/AUD, and AUD/JPY which means that a change in AUD/USD will affect EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY as recorded depending on the magnitude of the correlation coefficient (r). |
