In conclusion, the above findings discuss the effectiveness of

layers with nonlinear activation functions and training through
a backpropagation algorithm, MLP can learn complex
input-output relationships and make accurate short-term
predictions. The paper highlights that the MLP model performs
well when applied to financial datasets by capturing historical
trends and adapting to market fluctuations. However, the
reliability of historical trends also causes its downside. MLP
only consists of historical trends but ignores external influences,
such as geopolitical events or economic policy, which might
significantly affect the market trend. These limitations would
negatively affect MLP's prediction of new and long-trend
markets.
The study also includes the DAN2 model, a new ANN
architecture developed by Ghiassi and Saidane. The difference
between DAN2 and traditional ANNs is that DAN2 is a
dynamic architecture that iteratively adapts its structure to
minimize prediction errors. However, the paper also identifies
some issues with the DAN2 model, which limits the
performance of DAN2, such as regression-based initialization
and the inability to adapt new data without retraining. The
real-time financial forecasting performance of DAN2 is
therefore being questioned due to the above limitations. In
order to release the model's potential for real-time financial
forecasting, the model will need further improvements.
The hybrid GARCH-MLP model is integrated by including
GARCH models into ANNs. GARCH models are designed to
