Both markets were almost evenly sized at this point in time - at approximately **** and **** trillion U.S. dollars, respectively. However, the Nasdaq has grown much quicker than the NYSE since January 2018, when their respective domestic market caps were ** and ** trillion U.S. dollars. Much of this can be attributed to the success of information technology stocks during the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as the Nasdaq is the traditional venue for companies operating in the tech sector.

Context

Time series modelling for the prediction of stocks prices is a challenging task. Political events, market expectations and economic factors are just a few known factors that can impact financial market behaviour. The financial market is a complex, noisy, evolutionary and chaotic field of study that attracts many enthusiasts and researches — the first, usually driven by the economic benefit of it, the latter, inspired by the challenge of handling such complex data.

This project aims to predict Facebook (FB) next day stock price direction with machine learning algorithms. Technical indicators and global market indexes are used, and their influence on the forecast accuracy is analysed.

Content

Daily values were retrieved (volume, open, close, low and high prices) from Yahoo! Finance website. For Facebook (FB), July 2012 was the earliest data available. The date range is July 2012 to November 2018.

The closing price of current day C(t) and closing price from the previous day C(t-1) are compared to build the initial dataset. The objective is to define if the price trend is going up or down by analysing these two values. For each instance, a comparison was made and recorded. If the price is going up, C(t) > C(t-1), class “1” is assigned. Class “0” is assigned for the opposite case.

• ID: Sample ID
• Close: Closing value of previous day
• Low: Lowest value of previous day
• High: Highest value of previous day
• Volume: Volume value of previous day

Research was initiated to understand which features could help the model to forecast the stock direction. Three main routes were found: Lag features, Technical Indicators and Global Market Indexes. Below is an explanation of each group of features.

Lag features are features that contain the closing price and direction of previous days and it is a common strategy for Time Series models. The following features were added:

• C(t-5): Closing price of 5 days before
• C(t-4): Closing price of 4 days before
• C(t-3): Closing price of 3 days before
• C(t-2): Closing price of 2 days before
• C_up_4: Output 1 if closing price went up 4 days ago
• C_up_3: Output 1 if closing price went up 3 days ago
• C_up_2: Output 1 if closing price went up 2 days ago
• C_up_1: Output 1 if closing price went up 1 day ago

Technical indicators are used by researches and financial market analysts to support stock market trend forecasting. Common indicators retrieved from the literature were selected and calculated for Facebook stock. Techical Indicators added:

• MA-10: Moving Average considering previous 10 days
• MA-5: Moving Average considering previous 5 days
• WMA-10: Weighted Moving Average considering previous 10 days
• SO: Stochastic Oscillator
• M: Momentum as the difference in closing price in a 10 days interval
• SSO: Slow Stochastic Oscillator
• EMA: Exponential Moving Average for a 10 day period
• MACD_Sline_9: MACD Signal Line for a 9 day period
• RSI: Relative Strength Index
• CCI: Commodity Channel Index
• ADO: Accumulation Distribution Oscillator

Technical indicators provide a suggestion of the stock price movement. Additional features were created for each technical indicator by analysing its daily value and assigning a class according to their meaning. Class “1” is given if the indicator numerical value suggests upper trend, class “0” for a downtrend. In other words, financial market analysis is performed at a simplistic level, in the attempt to translate what the continuous value means.

• MA-10>C: If MA-10 is higher than Closing price output 1
• MA-5>C: If MA-5 is higher than Closing price output 1
• WMA-10>C: If WMA-10 is higher than Closing price output 1
• SO>SOt-1: Output is 1 if SO current value is higher than previous day
• M>0: A positive momentum outputs 1
• SSO>SSOt-1: SSO current value is higher than previous day
• EMA>C: If EMA is higher than Closing price output 1
• MACD>MACDt-1: If MACD current value is higher than previous day output 1
• RSI70-30: If RSI is above 70, output 0. Values below 30 output is one. For values within this range it compares to previous day and outputs 1 if value has increased
• CCI200-200: Similar to RSI, but if threshold set for 200 and -200.
• ADO>ADOt-1: Output is 1 if ADO current value is higher than previous day

For a given country or region, the stock market index characterises the performance of its financial market and the overall local economy. For this reason, the same day performance of these markets could contribute to the machine learning model predictions. Six global indexes were added as features, with their closing direction as up or down, class “1” or “0”, respectively. Data for these indexes (Nikkei, Hang Seng, All Ordinaries, Euronext 100, SSE and DAX) were also retrieved from Yahoo! Finance.

A daily data ranging from January 2014 until December 2018 is employed. The period between January, 1, 2014 until November 7, 2016 refers to the pre-election period. The period ranging from November 8, 2016, until December, 31 2018 defines the post-election period. Four U.S stock price indices are retrieved from DataStream: The standard and Poor’s 500 index (S&P 500) covers the performance of 500 largest capitalization stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index tracks the prices of the top 30 US companies. The NASDAQ 100 measures the performance of the 100 largest non-financial stocks traded on NASDAQ. The Russell 2000 index covers the performance of 2.000 lowest capitalization stocks. A daily political risk index is calculated for each period using Google trends and the principal component analysis.

Context

The script used to acquire all of the following data can be found in this GitHub repository. This repository also contains the modeling codes and will be updated continually, so welcome starring or watching!

Stock market data can be interesting to analyze and as a further incentive, strong predictive models can have large financial payoff. The amount of financial data on the web is seemingly endless. A large and well structured dataset on a wide array of companies can be hard to come by. Here provided a dataset with historical stock prices (last 12 years) for 29 of 30 DJIA companies (excluding 'V' because it does not have the whole 12 years data).

   ['MMM', 'AXP', 'AAPL', 'BA', 'CAT', 'CVX', 'CSCO', 'KO', 'DIS', 'XOM', 'GE',

   'GS', 'HD', 'IBM', 'INTC', 'JNJ', 'JPM', 'MCD', 'MRK', 'MSFT', 'NKE', 'PFE',

   'PG', 'TRV', 'UTX', 'UNH', 'VZ', 'WMT', 'GOOGL', 'AMZN', 'AABA']

In the future if you wish for a more up to date dataset, this can be used to acquire new versions of the .csv files.

Content

The data is presented in a couple of formats to suit different individual's needs or computational limitations. I have included files containing 13 years of stock data (in the all_stocks_2006-01-01_to_2018-01-01.csv and corresponding folder) and a smaller version of the dataset (all_stocks_2017-01-01_to_2018-01-01.csv) with only the past year's stock data for those wishing to use something more manageable in size.

The folder individual_stocks_2006-01-01_to_2018-01-01 contains files of data for individual stocks, labelled by their stock ticker name. The all_stocks_2006-01-01_to_2018-01-01.csv and all_stocks_2017-01-01_to_2018-01-01.csv contain this same data, presented in merged .csv files. Depending on the intended use (graphing, modelling etc.) the user may prefer one of these given formats.

All the files have the following columns: Date - in format: yy-mm-dd

Open - price of the stock at market open (this is NYSE data so all in USD)

High - Highest price reached in the day

Low Close - Lowest price reached in the day

Volume - Number of shares traded

Name - the stock's ticker name

Inspiration

This dataset lends itself to a some very interesting visualizations. One can look at simple things like how prices change over time, graph an compare multiple stocks at once, or generate and graph new metrics from the data provided. From these data informative stock stats such as volatility and moving averages can be easily calculated. The million dollar question is: can you develop a model that can beat the market and allow you to make statistically informed trades!
