Background

Traditional economic theory called the Efficient Market Hypothesis refutes the predictability of stock market price prediction. However, prior research shows there are moments where the market exhibits patterns. Prediction follows three schools of thought: fundamental, technical, and quantitative analysis.

Design

At the beginning of this project, I outlined a set of design requirements that my framework should satisfy. These requirements are based on the technical considerations of using a machine learning algorithm and the potential practical applications to markets. These design...

Final Design & Implementation

In the final design and implementation of the stock prediction framework, several changes had to be made. As I was implementing my design, testing was carried out with varied datasets. Using the actual data itself revealed further problems with data-preprocessing that had to be...
