We will analyze alternative data curated by the Chicago Board Of Options Exchange (CBOE) to improve the accuracy of our deep neural networks when forecasting the XAUEUR symbol.

We will analyze the XAUEUR market. The symbol tracks the price of gold in Euros. Gold is mined on every continent on Earth, except Antarctica. A significant proportion of the world’s gold is traded by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) to set a globally recognized benchmark for the price of gold. The Chicago Board of Options Exchange (CBOE) is an American company that provides global market infrastructure. CBOE employ their networks to create volatility indexes tracking major markets around the world.
