The movement of currency exchange rate can be predicted in the next few days, this is used by economic actors to get profit. Artificial Neural Network with the backpropagation learning method is good enough to use for forecasting time series data, it's just that in its application this method was considered to have shortcomings such as a long training time to achieve convergence. The purpose of this research is to form a Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network model with the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm as a learning method in the case of currency exchange rate prediction. This research produced a model that can predict the movement of the Rupiah exchange rate against the US Dollar, while the model formed was the MLP-PSO model with an error rate of 5.6168 x 10-8, slightly better than the MLP-BP model with an error rate of 6.4683 x 10-8. These results indicated that the PSO algorithm can be used as a learning algorithm in the Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network.

In todays fast paced global economy, the accuracy in forecasting the foreign exchange rate or predicting the trend is a critical key for any future business to come. The use of computational intelligence based techniques for forecasting has been proved to be successful for quite some time. This study presents a computational advance for forecasting the Foreign Exchange Rate in Kuala Lumpur for Ringgit Malaysia against US Dollar. A neural network based model has been used in forecasting the days ahead of exchange rate. The aims of this research are to make a prediction of Foreign Exchange Rate in Kuala Lumpur for Ringgit Malaysia against US Dollar using artificial neural network and determine practicality of the model. The Alyuda NeuroIntelligence software was utilized to analyze and to predict the data. After the data has been processed and the structural network compared to each other, the network of 2-4-1 has been chosen by outperforming other networks. This network selection criteria are based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) value which shows the lowest of them all. The training algorithm that applied is Quasi-Netwon based on the lowest recorded absolute training error. Hence, it is believed that experimental results demonstrate that Artificial Neural Network based model can closely predict the future exchange rate.

Exchange rates are highly fluctuating by nature, thus difficult to forecast. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have proved to be better than statistical methods. Inadequate training data may lead the model to reach suboptimal solution resulting, poor accuracy as ANN-based forecasts are data driven. To enhance forecasting accuracy, we suggests a method of enriching training dataset through exploring and incorporating of virtual data points (VDPs) by an evolutionary method called as fireworks algorithm trained functional link artificial neural network (FWA-FLN). The model maintains the correlation between the current and past data, especially at the oscillation point on the time series. The exploring of a VDP and forecast of the succeeding term go consecutively by the FWA-FLN. Real exchange rate time series are used to train and validate the proposed model. The efficiency of the proposed technique is related to other models trained similarly and produces far better prediction accuracy.

Money exchange between countries was done by using exchange rates. One of the examples was the exchange between Rupiah and US Dollar. Exchange rates prediction to US Dollar was an attempt to assist all related economic actors to avoid losses during the process of decision making. The prediction could be done by using artificial neural network method. Quickpropagation was one of artificial neural network models considered suitable for prediction. Quickpropagation network architecture consisted of input layer, hidden layer, and output layer. The input layer of quickpropagation architecture could be determined by using autoregression (AR) for the input pattern. In this research, the authors aim to optimize the quickpropagation network architecture method using Nguyen-Widrow weight initialization to predict the Rupiah exchange rate to US Dollar. The research data were the exchange rate from the BI website from May 2017 to July 2017 with a total of 57 data. The test was performed by using K-Fold Cross Validation with k = 11 values for data without AR and k = 8 for AR data. The results show that quickpropagation method using AR has better performance than quickpropagation method without AR in terms of MSE training and testing. The best parameters are in alpha 0,6 and hidden neuron 5, with MSE training value 0,03272 and MSE testing 0,02873 for selling rate and at alpha 0,9 and hidden neuron 5, with MSE training value 0,03297 and MSE testing 0,02828 for buying rate with maximal epoch 100.000 and target error 0,05.

The aim of this study is to identify the determinants of US Dollar/Turkish Lira currency exchange rate for strategic decision making in the global economy. Within this scope, quarterly data for the period between 1988:1 and 2016:2 was used in this study. In addition to this aspect, 10 explanatory variables were considered in order to determine the leading indicators of US Dollar/Turkish Lira currency exchange rate. Moreover, Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) method was used so as to achieve this objective. According to the results of this analysis, it was defined that two different variables affect this exchange rate in Turkey. First of all, it was identified that there is a negative relationship between current account balance and the value of US Dollar/Turkish Lira currency exchange rate. This result shows that in case of current account deficit problem, Turkish Lira experiences depreciation. Furthermore, it was also concluded that when there is an economic growth in Turkey, Turkish Lira increases in comparison with US Dollar. While taking into the consideration of these results, it could be generalized that emerging economies such as Turkey have to decrease current account deficit and investors should focus on higher economic growth in order to prevent the depreciation of the money in the strategic investment decision.
