Regarding risk reward ratio, there is no magic about the number 2. However, demanding a ratio of 2 does make practical sense.

If you are specifically looking to analyze the US dollar, you can use the US dollar index $USDX (or dollar spot index DXY).

HTH -1 Both ways are equivalent (assuming we are talking about net returns, and not forgetting any kind of transaction cost). Remember that returns are percentages: they are calculated as $$\frac{P_1 - P_0}{P_0}\times 100$$ [where$P_0$is the price at the beginning of the period and$P_1$is the price at the end] so it does not matter what currency you quote the ... 0 You are working with a time series$x(t)$which has been re-denominated at times$t_1$and$t_2$. You want to rescale the time series for all times$t < t_2$. First, do you know what the rescaling factors ($k$) should be (e.g. did 1000 units turn into one unit)? If not, I would set$k_2:= t_2^+ / t_2^-$, where$t_2^-\$ is the last currency rate before the ...

It's also necessary to look into technical indicators and filters. Technically analysis are often widely employed by finance practitioners and can apply to any sort of timeframe whether that's intra-day or EODs. Since ANNs are able to fit complex non-linear inputs, it would not hurt to add many of those indicators into the mix
