# Stock prediction using deep neural learning

Predicting stock prices using a TensorFlow LSTM (long short-term memory) neural network for times series forecasting.
3+
Predicting stock prices can be a challenging task as it often does not follow any specific pattern. However, deep neural learning can be used to identify patterns through machine learning. One of the most effective techniques for series forecasting is using LSTM (long short-term memory) networks, which are a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) capable of remembering information over a long period of time. This makes them extremely useful for predicting stock prices.

## 1) Introduction

Predicting stock prices is a complex task, as it is influenced by various factors such as market trends, political events, and economic indicators. The fluctuations in the stock prices are driven by the forces of supply and demand, which can be unpredictable at times. To identify patterns and trends in stock prices, deep learning techniques can be used for machine learning. Long short-term memory ([LSTM](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/13853244_Long_Short-term_Memory)) is a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) that is specifically designed for sequence modeling and prediction. LSTM is capable of retaining information over an extended period of time, making it an ideal approach for predicting stock prices. As a result, RNNs are well-suited to time series data, where they process data step-by-step, maintaining an internal state where they store the information they have seen so far in a compressed form. Accurate prediction of a stock's future price can provide significant financial gain to investors.

The initial data we will use for this model is taken directly from the [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOG?p=GOOG) page which contains the latest market data on a specific stock price. To perform this operation easily using Python, we will use the [yFinance](https://aroussi.com/post/python-yahoo-finance) 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](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tickersymbol.asp).

To gather the necessary market data for our stock prediction model, we will utilize the [yFinance](https://aroussi.com/post/python-yahoo-finance) library in Python. This library is designed specifically for downloading relevant information on a given [ticker symbol](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tickersymbol.asp) from the [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOG?p=GOOG) Finance webpage. By using yFinance, we can easily access the latest market data and incorporate it into our model.

For our purposes, we will be using the ticker symbol "GOOG", which is a well-known technology company. Here's an example screenshot of the ticker symbol on the Yahoo Finance page:
