Predicting stock prices using a TensorFlow LSTM (long short-term memory) neural network for times series forecasting.
Predicting stock prices is a cumbersome task as it does not follow any specific pattern. Changes in the stock prices are purely based on supply and demand during a period of time. In order to learn the specific characteristics of a stock price, we can use deep learning to identify these patterns through machine learning. One of the most well-known networks for series forecasting is LSTM (long short-term memory) which is a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that is able to remember information over a long period of time, thus making them extremely useful for predicting stock prices. RNNs are well-suited to time series data and they are able to process the data step-by-step, maintaining an internal state where they cache the information they have seen so far in a summarised version. The successful prediction of a stock's future price could yield a significant profit.
The initial data we will use for this model is taken directly from the Yahoo Finance page which contains the latest market data on a specific stock price. To perform this operation easily using Python, we will use the yFinance library which has been built specifically for this and that it will allow us to download all the information we need on a given ticker symbol.
Below is a sample screenshot of the ticker symbol (GOOG) that we will use in this stock prediction article:
To download the data info, we will need the yFinance library installed and then we will only need to perform the following operation to download all the relevant information of a given Stock using its ticker symbol.
Below is the output from the [download_market_data_info.py] file that is able to download financial data from Yahoo Finance.

As the data could come with different fields, my suggestion is to store them on a Data Lake so we can build it from multiple sources without having to worry too much about the way the data is structured.
The previous step helps us to identify several characteristics of a given ticker symbol so we can use its properties to define some of the charts I'm showing below. Note that the yFinance library only requires the stock to download via ticker symbol, the start date and end date of the period we want to get. Additionally, we can also specify the granularity of the data using the interval parameter. By default, the interval is 1 day and this is the one I will use for my training.
To download the data we can use the following command:
start = pd.to_datetime('2004-08-01')
stock = ['GOOG']
data = yf.download(stock, start=start, end=datetime.date.today())
print(data)And the sample output:

[3994 rows x 6 columns]Note that is important to mention the start date correctly just to ensure we are collecting data. If we don't do that we might end up having some NaN variables that could affect the output of our training.
Now that we have the data that we want to use, we need to define what defines our traning and validation data. As stocks could vary depending on the dates, the function I have created requires 3 basic arguments:
- Ticker Symbol: GOOG
- Start Date: Date as to when they started, in this case, it was 2004-Aug-01.
- Validation Date: Date as to when we want the validation to be considered. In this case, we specify 2017-01-01 as our data point.
Note that you will need to have configured TensorFlow, Keras ,and a GPU in order to run the samples below.
In this exercise, I'm only interested in the closing price which is the standard benchmark regarding stocks or securities.
Below you can find the chart with the division we will create between Training Data and Validation Data:
Also, the histogram showing the distribution of the prices:
In order to normalise the data, we need to scale it between 0 and 1 so we talk on a common scale. To accomplish this, we can use the preprocessing tool MinMaxScaler as seen below:
min_max = MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0, 1))
train_scaled = min_max.fit_transform(training_data)LSTM network needs the data imported as a 3D array. To translate this 2D array into a 3D one, we use a short timestep to loop through the data and create smaller partitions and feed them into the model. The final array is then reshaped into training samples, x number of timesteps, and 1 feature per step. The code below represents this concept:
time_steps = 3
for i in range(time_steps, train_scaled.shape[0]):
x_train.append(train_scaled[i - time_steps:i])
y_train.append(train_scaled[i, 0])
We have implemented a time step of 3 days. Using this technique, we allow our network to look back 3 days on our data to predict the subsequent day). The figure below represents how our implementation uses this concept and how the first 3 samples for Close price would generate the 4th sample and so on.This will generate a matrix of shape (3,1), 3 being the time steps and 1 the number of features (Close price).
To create this model, you will need to have TensorFlow, TensorFlow-Gpu and Keras installed in order for this to run. The code for this model can be seen below and the explanation for each layer is also defined below:
def create_long_short_term_memory_model(x_train):
model = Sequential()
# 1st layer with Dropout regularisation
# * units = add 100 neurons is the dimensionality of the output space
# * return_sequences = True to stack LSTM layers so the next LSTM layer has a three-dimensional sequence input
# * input_shape => Shape of the training dataset
model.add(LSTM(units=100, return_sequences=True, input_shape=(x_train.shape[1], 1)))
# 20% of the layers will be dropped
model.add(Dropout(0.2))
# 2nd LSTM layer
# * units = add 50 neurons is the dimensionality of the output space
# * return_sequences = True to stack LSTM layers so the next LSTM layer has a three-dimensional sequence input
model.add(LSTM(units=50, return_sequences=True))
# 20% of the layers will be dropped
model.add(Dropout(0.2))
# 3rd LSTM layer
# * units = add 50 neurons is the dimensionality of the output space
# * return_sequences = True to stack LSTM layers so the next LSTM layer has a three-dimensional sequence input
model.add(LSTM(units=50, return_sequences=True))
# 50% of the layers will be dropped
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
# 4th LSTM layer
# * units = add 50 neurons is the dimensionality of the output space
model.add(LSTM(units=50))
# 50% of the layers will be dropped
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
# Dense layer that specifies an output of one unit
model.add(Dense(units=1))
model.summary()

Non-trainable params: 0Once we have defined the model, we need to specify the metrics we want to use to track how well our model is behaving and also the kind of optimizer we want to use for our training. I have also defined the patience I want my model to have and what is the rule defined for it.
defined_metrics = [
tf.keras.metrics.MeanSquaredError(name='MSE')
]
callback = tf.keras.callbacks.EarlyStopping(monitor='val_loss', patience=3, mode='min', verbose=1)
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='mean_squared_error', metrics=defined_metrics)
history = model.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=epochs, batch_size=batch_size, validation_data=(x_test, y_test),
callbacks=[callback])This model is slightly fined tuned to reach the lowest validation loss. In this example, we reach a validation loss of 0.14% with an MSE (Mean Square Error) of 0.14% which is relatively good, providing us with a very accurate result.
The training result can be seen below:

MSE : 0.0014113366Now it is time to prepare our testing data and send it through our deep-learning model to obtain the predictions we are trying to get.
First, we need to import the test data using the same approach we used for the training data using the time steps:
# Testing Data Transformation
x_test = []
y_test = []
for i in range(time_steps, test_scaled.shape[0]):
x_test.append(test_scaled[i - time_steps:i])
y_test.append(test_scaled[i, 0])
x_test, y_test = np.array(x_test), np.array(y_test)
x_test = np.reshape(x_test, (x_test.shape[0], x_test.shape[1], 1))Now we can call the predict method which will allow us to generate the stock prediction based on the training done over the training data. As a result, we will generate a csv file that contains the result of the prediction and also a chart that shows what's the real vs the estimation.
With the validation loss and validation MSE metrics:

As I mentioned before, I'm using a GPU to ramp up my testing. As my laptop has a nvidia geforce card, I installed CUDA to make use of its GPU capabilities. Depending on your tensorflow version you'll need a version or another. Here is the link: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-11.0-download-archive?target_os=Windows&target_arch=x86_64&target_version=10&target_type=exelocal
You can do from your conda prompt:
