Possible Addition of NARX Network to Conditional Restricted Boltzmann Machine

It has been over three months since my last post, due to working away from home for some of the summer, a summer holiday and moving home. However, during this time I have continued with my online reading and some new thinking about my conditional restricted boltzmann machine based trading system has developed, namely the use of a nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model in the bottom layer gaussian units of the CRBM. Some links to reading on the same are shown below.

The exogenous time series I am thinking of using, at least for the major forex pairs and perhaps precious metals, oil and US treasuries, is a currency strength indicator based on the US dollar. In order to create the currency strength indicator I will have to delve into some data wrangling with the historical forex data I have, and this will be the subject of my next post.
