In this model, the “nonlinear autoregressive model with exogenous variables” is an analyzer. For a more reliable comparison, here (like the literature) two approaches of  Raw-based and Signal-based are devised to generate the input data of the model. The correct predictions percentages for periods of 1- 6 days with the total number of buy and sell signals are considered. The result proves that to some extent the approaches have similar performances while apparently, they are superior to a feed-forward static neural network. The created network is evaluated by the measure of Mean of Squared Error and the proposed model accuracy is calculated to be extremely high.}, keywords = {Finance,Stock Market Forecasting,Technical Analysis,NARX Recurrent Neural Network,Levenberg–Marquardt Algorithm}, url = {https://www.ije.ir/article_72845.html}, eprint = {https://www.ije.ir/article_72845_b9ad79a66add289552037c85c0e2c10d.pdf} }
