The stock market is known for being volatile, dynamic, and nonlinear. Accurate stock price prediction is extremely challenging because of multiple (macro and micro) factors, such as politics, global economic conditions, unexpected events, a company’s financial performance, and so on.
But, all of this also means that there’s a lot of data to find patterns in. So, financial analysts, researchers, and data scientists keep exploring analytics techniques to detect stock market trends. This gave rise to the concept of algorithmic trading
, which uses automated, pre-programmed trading strategies to execute orders.
- Fundamental analysis
- Technical analysis
- Analyzes measurable data from stock market activities, such as stock prices, historical returns, and volume of historical trades; i.e. quantitative information that could identify trading signals and capture the movement patterns of the stock market.

Stock price prediction is the act of forecasting stock prices
based on historical data. We used historical data in machine learning to recognize trends
and understand the current market. Machine learning automates the trading process by using statistical models to draw insights and make predictions. Machine learning can collect and test a large amount of data, both structured and unstructured. It can apply suitable algorithms, transform, search for patterns, and make decisions based on the new data.
