Encoder–Decoder Based LSTM and GRU Architectures for Stocks and Cryptocurrency Prediction
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsI believe that the paper addresses important topics that are applicable to a wide range of real-life scenarios. I would recommend the authors to consider the following potential improvements:
- it would be very nice to elaborate explicitly on the forecasting horizon and in particular if it is able to influence the importance of the results.
- as there are different error metrics included in the comparison, it would be beneficial for the readers to address which one is better suited for some standard use cases.
- with regard to hyperparameter optimization procedure, I think it would be nice to extend a bit the description on why a specific activation function is selected.

Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe article has improved considerably and the authors have resolved my comments well. I have only a few remarks left, mainly expositional:
1. There are some problems with references, which are sometimes repeated twice, e.g. Zhong and Enke Zhong and Enke (2017) (line 101). The authors should check this carefully throughout the paper.
2. Some exhibits would benefit from more comprehensive notes, which would make them easier to understand. Table 3 can serve as an example.
