The rise of deep learning algorithms has sparked interest in the financial domain. The foreign exchange market (FOREX) is the globally leading financial market with millions of active stakeholders. Research in deep learning for forecasting price movements has shown its efficacy in financial markets. Notably, LSTM have empirically proven the best performance among other machine learning techniques. However, studies have shown the lack of deep learning hybrid comparisons to fortify empirical claims, especially in the FX market characterized for its high volatility and variance among currency pairs. This study develops a generalized LSTM model to forecast the major pairs and conducts a comparative analysis with a secondary hybrid deep learning model to assess and solidify the robustness of deep learning methods in forex forecasting. The empirical scenario simulates a classification problem employing cross-validation techniques to optimize the models’ generalization rigorously. Evaluation of the model utilized the accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score metrics. Results indicated the performance of the models from best to worst were LSTM, SRNN and followed by CNN indicating the importance of testing deep learning approaches in different empirical setups. Conclusively, this study highlights the need challenges in forex forecasting and raises the need for more robust assessments on machine learning models forecasting capabilities.
