Forecasting is one of the high-demand data mining problems, but also a very difficult one. The difficulties of forecasting are associated with insufficient quality and quantity of input data, the changes in the environment where the process takes place, and the impact of subjective factors. A forecast always implies some margin of error, which depends on the forecast model used and the completeness of the input data. Methods based on neural networks are the most relevant and highly-demanded techniques today. Neural networks are great for finding accurate solutions in an environment characterized by complex or fragmented information. In the field of finance and economics, the values of time series parameters can be more accurately modelled using neural analysis methods. Artificial neural networks have more common and flexible functional forms than statistical methods. They can generalize information and provide a qualitative forecast under conditions of uncertainty and crisis. The article proposes a forecasting model based on a neural network that can predict the price of a financial asset in a well-defined time interval. Ten technical indicators are used as input signals, and the closing price of the next period is used as an output signal.
