AF-103

Course overview

AF-103 examines deep learning as part of a complete Forex decision system rather than as a collection of fashionable algorithms.

Students learn how market data, prediction targets, architecture selection, chronological validation, execution and risk controls must work together.

Special attention is given to temporal leakage, nonstationarity, structural breaks, transaction costs, calibration, turnover, drawdown and the difference between statistical accuracy and economic value.

Learning objectives

What you will learn

  1. 01

    Explain why predictive accuracy does not automatically produce profitable Forex trading.

  5. 05

    Compare RNN, LSTM and GRU architectures for currency sequence learning.

  6. 06

    Explain attention and Transformer models for long-range and cross-market relationships.

  7. 07

    Distinguish forecasting systems from reinforcement-learning decision policies.

  8. 08

    Design hybrid architectures only when each component provides measurable incremental value.

  9. 09

    Evaluate models with chronological testing, calibration, transaction costs, drawdown and robustness controls.

  10. 10

    Define monitoring, retraining, rollback and retirement requirements for production Forex systems.
