Deep learning framework for stock price prediction using long short-term memory

Forecasting stock prices is always considered as complicated process due to the dynamic and noisy characteristics of stock data influenced by external factors. For predicting the stock market, several approaches have been put forward. Many academics have successfully forecasted stock prices using soft computing models. Recently, there has been growing interest in applying deep learning techniques in combination with technical indicators to forecast stock prices, attracting attention from both investors and researchers. This paper focuses on developing a reliable model for anticipating future stock prices in one day advance using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). Three steps make up the suggested model. The approach begins with ten technical indicators computed from previous data as feature vectors. The second phase involves data normalization to scale the feature vectors. Finally, in the third phase, the LSTM model analyzes the closing price for the next day using the normalized characteristics as input. Two stock markets, NASDAQ and NYSE are chosen to evaluate the efficacy of the developed model. To demonstrate how effective the new model is in making predictions, its performance is compared to earlier models. Comparing the suggested model to other models, the findings revealed that it had a high level of prediction accuracy. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2024.
