Neural Networks in Price Prediction: A Deep Dive

The buzzword "AI" gets thrown around carelessly in trading. Let's cut through the noise and explore the actual technology behind modern market prediction.

The Evolution of Trading AI

Phase 1: Rule-Based Systems (1980s-2000s)

Simple if-then rules. "If RSI < 30, buy." Limited adaptability.

Phase 2: Basic ML (2000s-2015)

Random forests, SVMs. Better pattern recognition but struggled with sequential data.

Phase 3: Deep Learning (2015-Present)

Neural networks that understand context and sequence. This is where the magic happens.

Key Architectures We Use

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)

Perfect for time-series data. LSTMs remember what's important and forget what isn't over long sequences.

Use case: Trend detection and duration prediction.

Transformer Architecture

Originally designed for language, transformers excel at finding patterns across long sequences. They can spot correlations between events weeks apart.

Use case: Multi-timeframe analysis, sentiment integration.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)

While typically used for images, we apply CNNs to chart pattern recognition. A head and shoulders is just a shape, after all.

Use case: Pattern identification across multiple instruments.

The Data Pipeline

Why This Matters For You

You don't need to understand the math. You just need to know that when our system says "75% bullish probability," it's backed by technology that major hedge funds pay millions to develop.

We democratize institutional-grade AI.
