Stock Price Prediction with Deep Learning

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract
The stock market is an economic thermometer in every country, and news reports
usually mention the financial index regarding the stock market. Therefore,
predicting this variable provides bright insight into the economic situation and
obtaining appropriate investment strategies. Research on stock market
predictability has a long history in financial economics. While there are different
opinions about market efficiency, extensive empirical studies show that financial
markets are somewhat predictable. Therefore, among the methods of predicting
stock returns, statistical or econometric methods based on analysing past market
movements are more accepted than other methods. Artificial intelligence has also
been prevalent with the increasing computing power of computers. The current
research uses artificial intelligence models to predict the total index of the Tehran
Stock Exchange and the index of the top 50 companies. Moreover, for this
purpose, the information related to these indices has been extracted in one-day
intervals for ten years. We will analyse this information with the deep learning
model, one of the new artificial intelligence models.
