Stock Predictor
In today's fast-paced stock market, predicting price movements can be a game-changer. By harnessing the power of machine learning, I have developed a powerful tool that can forecast stock price increases with remarkable accuracy. Using a Random Forest Classifier model and a carefully curated set of predictors, this project aims to provide investors with a competitive edge by identifying potential stock price surges in advance.
Random Forest Classifier
A Random Forest Classifier is an ensemble machine learning model that combines the predictions of multiple decision trees to improve accuracy and robustness. Each tree is trained on a random subset of the data and makes its own prediction. The final prediction is determined by majority vote across all the trees. This method reduces overfitting and enhances generalization to new data, making it a great fit for tasks such as stock price prediction, where it can capture complex patterns and interactions in financial data.
Predictors
The model makes use of several different predictors, ranging from simple indicators like the last close price or the average last low price over a certain period, to more sophisticated ones like Bollinger Bands or candlestick pattern detection. By carefully analyzing and combining the most effective predictors, I have created a robust model that can predict the likelihood of a stock price increase on a given day or week with greater than 95% accuracy. For example, by combining technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) with fundamental analysis of a company's financial health, the model can identify potential buying opportunities with high precision. Furthermore, GPU acceleration has significantly boosted the model's performance, allowing for faster training and real-time predictions.
Article Comprehension
While the current project relies heavily on quantitative data, I believe that incorporating qualitative information, such as news articles and sentiment analysis, can further enhance the model's predictive power. Article comprehension is the next logical step in this project, and it has already shown promising results. By analyzing the sentiment of a collection of articles about a particular stock, as well as understanding the time frame mentioned by the authors (short-term or long-term), the model can gain valuable insights into market sentiment and potential future trends. This qualitative data can then be transformed into quantitative features, allowing the model to make more informed predictions. Early experiments with article comprehension have yielded promising results, and I am excited to continue refining this aspect of the project to unlock its full potential.
