Please note, only developers with relevant experience in AI deep learning stock program development are allowed to participate.
Explaining how to create an **AI-based stock prediction program** to a developer who is a beginner in stocks requires a good understanding of the technical aspects, while at the same time, it is important to proceed in line with **practical goals**. Below is a step-by-step detailed explanation that even a beginner developer can understand.
### 1. **Define project goals**
The goal is **to have the AI analyze stock data and use various technical indicators to predict high-yield buy/sell timings**. The developer should use the AI to **learn on its own** and find **the optimal trading timing**.
### 2. **Prepare necessary data**
Since the AI must learn based on stock data, it is important to **prepare** stock data first.
- **Stock price data**: Prepare the **opening price**, **closing price**, **high price**, **low price**, and **trading volume** data of the stock.
- **Technical indicators**: Create various **technical indicators** for the stock data. For example, **Moving Average (MA)**, **Relative Strength Index (RSI)**, **MACD**, **Bollinger Bands**, etc.
- **API Utilization**: To obtain stock data, you can use **Yahoo Finance API**, **Alpha Vantage API**, **Quandl**, etc. to get real-time data, or save data locally as a **CSV file**.
```python
import yfinance as yf
# Example: 5 years of Apple stock data
data = [login to view URL]('AAPL', start='2015-01-01', end='2020-01-01')
print([login to view URL]())
```
### 3. **Calculating technical indicators**
AI basically learns through **technical indicators**. For example, it can calculate indicators such as **Moving Average**, **RSI**, **MACD**, etc. These indicators are important in generating **buy/sell signals**.
```python
import talib as ta
# Moving average (50 days, 200 days)
data['SMA_50'] = [login to view URL](data['Close'], timeperiod=50)
data['SMA_200'] = [login to view URL](data['Close'], timeperiod=200)
# Relative Strength Index (RSI)
data['RSI'] = [login to view URL](data['Close'], timeperiod=14)
# MACD
data['MACD'], data['MACD_signal'], data['MACD_hist'] = [login to view URL](data['Close'], fastperiod=12, slowperiod=26, signalperiod=9)
```
### 4. **AI model training**
The AI model learns stock data and technical indicators. **Predict buy/sell timing**. You can analyze stock data using **machine learning algorithms**.
**Basic algorithm**: For example, you can use models such as **Random Forest** or **XGBoost**. If you want to use **deep learning**, you can also use **LSTM** (Long Short-Term Memory) networks.
- **Data preparation**: Input stock data and set **buy/sell signals** as target values.
- Divide into **training data and test data** to train and evaluate the model.
```python
from [login to view URL] import RandomForestClassifier
# Prepare features and target variables (example: Generating buy/sell signals)
data['Signal'] = 0
data['Signal'][data['SMA_50'] > data['SMA_200']] = 1 # Buy signal
data['Signal'][data['SMA_50'] < data['SMA_200']] = -1 # Sell signal
# Features (indicators)
features = ['SMA_50', 'SMA_200', 'RSI', 'MACD']
# Separate training and test data
train_data = data[:-100]
test_data = data[-100:]
X_train = train_data[features]
y_train = train_data['Signal']
X_test = test_data[features]
y_test = test_data['Signal']
# Model Training
model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100)
[login to view URL](X_train, y_train)
# Prediction
y_pred = [login to view URL](X_test)
```
### 5. **AI Model Evaluation**
After training the model, you need to **evaluate** whether the predictions are good. At this time, you can use evaluation metrics such as **Accuracy**, **F1-score**, and **Confusion Matrix**.
```python
from [login to view URL] import accuracy_score, confusion_matrix
# Accuracy Evaluation
print("Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))
# Confusion Matrix
print("Confusion Matrix:\n", confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred))
```
### 6. **Backtesting**
**Backtesting** is the process of **using past data** to check if the algorithm actually works well. For example, check how well the algorithm traded based on one year of stock data.
```python
portfolio = 10000 # Initial capital
shares = 0
for index, row in [login to view URL]():
if row['Signal'] == 1 and portfolio >= row['Close']: # Buy signal
shares = portfolio // row['Close']
portfolio -= shares * row['Close']
elif row['Signal'] == -1 and shares > 0: # Sell signal
portfolio += shares * row['Close']
shares = 0
final_value = portfolio + shares * data['Close'].iloc[-1]
print("Final asset:", final_value)
```
### 7. **Use real-time data**
After backtesting, **use real-time data** so that the AI can continuously generate buy/sell signals. **You need to receive stock data in real time through the API** and enable the algorithm to trade in real time.
- **Use stock exchange API**: For example, you can receive data in real time through APIs such as **Binance**, **Coinbase**, etc.
### 8. **Program optimization and improvement**
You need to **continuously improve** the model while actually operating it. For example, you need to add new technical indicators or make the model more efficient to make better predictions.
### 9. **Explanation to developers**
- **Goal**: Develop a program that predicts **buy/sell timing** based on stock data using AI.
- **Data preparation**: Download stock data and calculate technical indicators.
- **AI model training**: Use machine learning algorithms to predict buy/sell.
- **Backtest**: Use historical data to verify the algorithm.
- **Real-time application**: Use real-time data to execute actual transactions.
### 10. **Basic development flow**
1. **Secure stock data**: Import stock data via API or CSV file.
2. **Calculate technical indicators**: Calculate moving averages, RSI, MACD, etc. 3. **AI model learning**: Learn machine learning models to predict buy/sell.
4. **Backtest**: Evaluate models using past data.
5. **Real-time trading**: Build automated trading systems using real-time stock data.
In this way, even stock beginners can fully understand and develop **AI model development** based on **technical analysis**. The important thing is to **create an algorithm** that can automatically generate stock buy/sell signals.
