BenjiKCF/Neural-Net-with-Financial-Time-Series-Data

Neural-Net-with-Financial-Time-Series-Data is an open source software project using endogenous factors to predict daily log return of financial asset. The project includes serveral technical indicators (ie. Stochastics, Moving Average Convergence/Divergence oscillator) to train a LSTM neural network by stochastic gradient descent with warm restart(SGDR) and cosine annealing. This flexible architecture enables you to deploy with Nvidia CuDNN computation without rewriting code by yourself. Hyperparameters are fine-tuned by Bayesian search.

Latest Result:

The current LSTM model result for predicting daily log return.

Old model Result

This old model uses LSTM to predict stock price.

LSTM cell

This is the LSTM cell we used in the model.

It is faster than normal LSTM cell because of the implementation of CuDNN LSTM and batch normalization in the model.

How to use Quandl

If you want to train your neural network on more data, feel free to load the data directly from Quandl. You should be able to get the historic price data of a particular stock after login. Use Export > Python > api key and insert the api key to your model. https://www.quandl.com/databases/WIKIP
