Solvent.Life Machine Learning for Stock Price Prediction
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.
In this article, we’ll be using both traditional quantitative finance methodology and machine learning algorithms to predict stock movements. We’ll go through the following topics:
Stock analysis: fundamental vs. technical analysis
Stock prices as time-series data and related concepts
Predicting stock prices with Moving Average techniques
Introduction to LSTMs
Predicting stock prices with an LSTM model
Final thoughts on new methodologies, such as ESN

Audiences should conduct their due diligence before making any investment decisions using the methods or code presented in this article.
Stock analysis: fundamental analysis vs. technical analysis
When it comes to stocks, fundamental and technical analyses are at opposite ends of the market analysis spectrum.
Fundamental analysis (you can read more about it here):
Evaluates a company’s stock by examining its intrinsic value, including but not limited to tangible assets, financial statements, management effectiveness, strategic initiatives, and consumer behaviors; essentially all the basics of a company.
Being a relevant indicator for long-term investment, the fundamental analysis relies on both historical and present data to measure revenues, assets, costs, liabilities, and so on.
Generally speaking, the results from fundamental analysis don’t change with short-term news.
Technical analysis (you can read more about it here):
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.
Technical analysis focuses on historical data and current data just like fundamental analysis, but it’s mainly used for short-term trading purposes.
Due to its short-term nature, technical analysis results are easily influenced by news.
Popular technical analysis methodologies include moving average (MA), support and resistance levels, as well as trend lines and channels.
For our exercise, we’ll be looking at technical analysis solely and focusing on the Simple MA and Exponential MA techniques to predict stock prices. Additionally, we’ll utilize LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), a deep learning framework for time-series, to build a predictive model and compare its performance against our technical analysis.
As stated in the disclaimer, stock trading strategy is not in the scope of this article. I’ll be using trading/investment terms only to help you better understand the analysis, but this is not financial advice. We’ll be using terms like:
trend indicators: statistics that represent the trend of stock prices,
medium-term movements: the 50-day movement trend of stock prices.
Stock prices as time-series data
Despite the volatility, stock prices aren’t just randomly generated numbers. So, they can be analyzed as a sequence of discrete-time data; in other words, time-series observations taken at successive points in time (usually on a daily basis). Time series forecasting (predicting future values based on historical values) applies well to stock forecasting.
Because of the sequential nature of time-series data, we need a way to aggregate this sequence of information. From all the potential techniques, the most intuitive one is MA with the ability to smooth out short-term fluctuations. We’ll discuss more details in the next section.
Dataset Analysis
For this demonstration exercise, we’ll use the closing prices of Apple’s stock (ticker symbol AAPL) from the past 21 years (1999-11-01 to 2021-07-09). Analysis data will be loaded from Alpha Vantage, which offers a free API for historical and real-time stock market data.
To get data from Alpha Vantage, you need a free API key; a walk-through tutorial can be found here. Don’t want to create an API? No worries, the analysis data is available here as well. If you feel like exploring other stocks, code to download the data is accessible in this Github repo as well. Once you have the API, all you need is the ticker symbol for the particular stock.
For model training, we’ll use the oldest 80% of the data, and save the most recent 20% as the hold-out testing set.
Creating a Solvent.Life machine learning project
With regard to model training and performance comparison, Solvent.Life makes it convenient for users to track everything model-related, including hyper-parameter specification and evaluation plots.
Evaluation metrics and helper functions
Since stock prices prediction is essentially a regression problem, the RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error %) will be our current model evaluation metrics. Both are useful measures of forecast accuracy.
, where N = the number of time points, At = the actual / true stock price, Ft = the predicted / forecast value.
RMSE gives the differences between predicted and true values, whereas MAPE (%) measures this difference relative to the true values. For example, a MAPE value of 12% indicates that the mean difference between the predicted stock price and the actual stock price is 12%.
Next, let’s create several helper functions for the current exercise.
Split the stock prices data into training sequence X and the next output value Y,
Calculate the RMSE and MAPE (%),
Calculate the evaluation metrics for technical analysis and log to Solvent.Life,
Plot the trend of the stock prices and log the plot to Solvent.Life,
Predicting stock price with Moving Average (MA) technique
MA is a popular method to smooth out random movements in the stock market. Similar to a sliding window, an MA is an average that moves along the time scale/periods; older data points get dropped as newer data points are added.
Commonly used periods are 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day MA for short-term, medium-term, and long-term investment respectively.
Two types of MA are most preferred by financial analysts: Simple MA and Exponential MA.
Simple MA
SMA, short for Simple Moving Average, calculates the average of a range of stock (closing) prices over a specific number of periods in that range. The formula for SMA is:
, where Pn = the stock price at time point n, N = the number of time points.
For this exercise of building an SMA model, we’ll use the Python code below to compute the 50-day SMA. We’ll also add a 200-day SMA for good measure.
In our Solvent.Life run, we’ll see the performance metrics on the testing set; RMSE = 43.77, and MAPE = 12.53%. In addition, the trend chart shows the 50-day, 200-day SMA predictions compared with the true stock closing values.
Exponential MA
Different from SMA, which assigns equal weights to all historical data points, EMA, short for Exponential Moving Average, applies higher weights to recent prices, i.e., tail data points of the 50-day MA in our example. The magnitude of the weighting factor depends on the number of time periods. The formula to calculate EMA is:
,
where Pt = the price at time point t,
EMAt-1 = EMA at time point t-1,
N = number of time points in EMA,
and weighting factor k = 2/(N+1).
One advantage of the EMA over SMA is that EMA is more responsive to price changes, which makes it useful for short-term trading. Here’s a Python implementation of EMA:
Examining the performance metrics tracked in Solvent.Life, we have RMSE = 36.68, and MAPE = 10.71%, which is an improvement from SMA’s 43.77 and 12.53% for RMSE and MAPE, respectively. The trend chart generated from this EMA model also implies that it outperforms the SMA.
Introduction to LSTMs for the time-series data
Now, let’s move on to the LSTM model. LSTM, short for Long Short-term Memory, is an extremely powerful algorithm for time series. It can capture historical trend patterns, and predict future values with high accuracy.
In a nutshell, the key component to understand an LSTM model is the Cell State (Ct), which represents the internal short-term and long-term memories of a cell.
To control and manage the cell state, an LSTM model contains three gates/layers. It’s worth mentioning that the “gates” here can be treated as filters to let information in (being remembered) or out (being forgotten).
Forget gate:
As the name implies, forget gate decides which information to throw away from the current cell state. Mathematically, it applies a sigmoid function to output/returns a value between [0, 1] for each value from the previous cell state (Ct-1); here ‘1’ indicates “completely passing through” whereas ‘0’ indicates “completely filtering out”
Input gate:
It’s used to choose which new information gets added and stored in the current cell state. In this layer, a sigmoid function is implemented to reduce the values in the input vector (it), and then a tanh function squashes each value between [-1, 1] (Ct). Element-by-element matrix multiplication of it and Ct represents new information that needs to be added to the current cell state.
Output gate:
The output gate is implemented to control the output flowing to the next cell state. Similar to the input gate, an output gate applies a sigmoid and then a tanh function to filter out unwanted information, keeping only what we’ve decided to let through.
For a more detailed understanding of LSTM, you can check out this document.
Knowing the theory of LSTM, you must be wondering how it does at predicting real-world stock prices. We’ll find out in the next section, by building an LSTM model and comparing its performance against the two technical analysis models: SMA and EMA.
Predicting stock prices with an LSTM model
First, we need to create a Solvent.Life experiment dedicated to LSTM, which includes the specified hyper-parameters.
Next, we scale the input data for LSTM model regulation and split it into train and test sets.
A couple of notes:
we use the StandardScaler, rather than the MinMaxScaler as you might have seen before. The reason is that stock prices are ever-changing, and there are no true min or max values. It doesn’t make sense to use the MinMaxScaler, although this choice probably won’t lead to disastrous results at the end of the day;
stock price data in its raw format can’t be used in an LSTM model directly; we need to transform it using our pre-defined `extract_seqX_outcomeY` function. For instance, to predict the 51st price, this function creates input vectors of 50 data points prior and uses the 51st price as the outcome value.
Moving on, let’s kick off the LSTM modeling process. Specifically, we’re building an LSTM with two hidden layers, and a ‘linear’ activation function upon the output. We also use Solvent.Life’s Keras integration to monitor and log model training progress live.
Read more about the integration in the Solvent.Life Docs
Once the training completes, we’ll test the model against our hold-out set.
Time to calculate the performance metrics and log them to Solvent.Life.
In Solvent.Life, it’s amazing to see that our LSTM model achieved an RMSE = 12.58 and MAPE = 2%; a tremendous improvement from the SMA and EMA models! The trend chart shows a near-perfect overlay of the predicted and actual closing price for our testing set.
Final thoughts on new methodologies
We’ve seen the advantage of LSTMs in the example of predicting Apple stock prices compared to traditional MA models. Be careful about making generalizations to other stocks, because, unlike other stationary time series, stock market data is less-to-none seasonal and more chaotic.
In our example, Apple, as one of the biggest tech giants, has not only established a mature business model and management, its sales figures also benefit from the release of innovative products or services. Both contribute to the lower implied volatility of Apple stock, making the predictions relatively easier for the LSTM model in contrast to different, high-volatility stocks.
To account for the chaotic dynamics of the stock market, Echo State Networks (ESN) is proposed. As a new invention within the RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks) family, ESN utilizes a hidden layer with several neurons flowing and loosely interconnected; this hidden layer is referred to as the ‘reservoir’ designed to capture the non-linear history information of input data.
At a high level, an ESN takes in a time-series input vector and maps it to a high-dimensional feature space, i.e. the dynamical reservoir (neurons aren’t connected like a net but rather like a reservoir). Then, at the output layer, a linear activation function is applied to calculate the final predictions.
If you’re interested in learning more about this methodology, check out the original paper by Jaeger and Haas.
In addition, it would be interesting to incorporate sentiment analysis on news and social media regarding the stock market in general, as well as a given stock of interest. Another promising approach for better stock price predictions is the hybrid model, where we add MA predictions as input vectors to the LSTM model. You might want to explore different methodologies, too.

Black–Scholes equation & Solvent.Life™
The Black-Scholes equation, a cornerstone of modern financial theory, revolutionized the way we understand and engage with financial markets, particularly in the realm of options pricing. Developed in 1973 by economists Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, and later expanded upon by Robert Merton, this formula provided the first widely accepted model for valuing European-style options, laying the groundwork for the explosive growth of options trading and the broader field of financial engineering. This essay delves into the specifics of the Black-Scholes equation, its application in financial markets, and the profound implications it holds for traders, financial analysts, and the structure of markets themselves.
The Essence of the Black-Scholes Equation
At its core, the Black-Scholes equation is a partial differential equation that describes how the price of an option evolves over time with respect to various factors, including the underlying asset's price, time until the option's expiration, the risk-free interest rate, and the asset's volatility. The formula for a European call option (an option to buy at a certain price) is given by:
Application in Financial Markets
The Black-Scholes-Merton model, a cornerstone in modern financial theory, offers a groundbreaking analytical framework for the valuation of European-style options, which are a specific category of financial derivatives. These derivatives empower the holder with a distinctive right, devoid of any accompanying obligation, to either purchase (call option) or sell (put option) a designated underlying asset—be it equities, indices, or commodities—at a predetermined strike price, exclusively on the option's maturity date. Historically, the valuation of such options was predominantly predicated on heuristic methods and rudimentary guesswork until the advent of the Black-Scholes model in 1973, introduced by Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, and, independently, Robert Merton. This model revolutionized the field by offering a systematic, formula-based approach to option pricing that rigorously accounts for critical factors such as the time value of money, the inherent risk of the underlying asset's price volatility, and the risk-free rate of return.
The Black-Scholes formula, specifically, calculates the theoretical price of European options by integrating various determinants, including the current price of the underlying asset, the option's strike price, the time until expiration (termed as the option's "time to maturity"), the risk-free interest rate, and the volatility of the underlying asset's returns. A notable example of its application can be observed in the valuation of European call options on stock indices like the S&P 500. In this context, the model takes into account the current level of the index, the strike level of the option, the expiry date, prevailing risk-free interest rates (often proxied by government securities yields), and the historical volatility of the index returns to compute a theoretical price for the option.
Critically, the Black-Scholes model is founded on several key assumptions: it posits that the markets are frictionless, meaning there are no transaction costs or taxes, and trading of the underlying asset is continuous. It assumes the lognormal distribution of underlying asset prices, which implies that the prices can only assume positive values and the returns on the asset are normally distributed. Moreover, it presupposes a constant volatility and risk-free rate over the life of the option. Despite these simplifying assumptions, which abstract away from the complexities of real-world market conditions—such as the impact of financial crises on asset prices or the changing risk-free rate over time—the model's derived valuations have proven to be remarkably robust for a broad array of option pricing scenarios, making it a pivotal tool in both academic research and practical finance. However, it's crucial to note that deviations from these assumptions, such as the occurrence of significant market events leading to spikes in asset volatility (e.g., the 2008 financial crisis), can necessitate adjustments to the model or alternative valuation methods to capture the nuanced dynamics of financial markets more accurately.
Implications for Financial Markets
The introduction of the Black-Scholes equation into the financial domain initiated a paradigm shift with extensive repercussions across global financial markets. It was not merely a theoretical advancement but a catalyst that propelled the exponential expansion of options trading. This surge was made possible by equipping market participants with a robust, empirically validated methodology for the valuation of options. The consequent evolution into the Black-Scholes-Merton model expanded its applicability, embedding its principles deep into the infrastructure of contemporary financial engineering and risk management disciplines. This extended framework now serves as the foundational bedrock for a multitude of financial mechanisms, including, but not limited to, the pricing models for exotic options, corporate liabilities, and even real options analysis, which assesses investment opportunities in real assets as options.
The transformative influence of the Black-Scholes model extended beyond the realm of quantitative finance, engendering significant structural changes within financial markets themselves. One of the most pivotal of these changes was the democratization of financial markets. By demystifying the complexities of options pricing through a transparent and accessible approach, the Black-Scholes model significantly broadened the demographic of participants capable of engaging in options trading. This inclusivity fostered enhanced market liquidity and depth, as a more diverse array of investors began to contribute to the trading volume, thereby stabilizing and enriching the market ecosystem.
Moreover, the model's theoretical insights into the pivotal role of volatility in determining options prices have precipitated the development and popularization of sophisticated volatility trading strategies. These strategies exploit fluctuations in volatility rather than price movements of the underlying asset itself. A prime illustration of this is the creation and widespread adoption of the Volatility Index (VIX). Dubbed the "fear index," the VIX quantifies market expectations of volatility over the forthcoming 30-day period, derived from S&P 500 index options prices. It serves as a barometer for market sentiment, with higher values indicating increased uncertainty or fear among investors. The VIX itself has become a focal point for investors, spawning a plethora of derivative products that allow direct trading on volatility expectations, thereby adding a new dimension to portfolio diversification and risk management strategies.
In essence, the Black-Scholes model and its derivatives have not only recalibrated the technical approaches to financial valuation and risk management but have also fundamentally reshaped market structures and investment strategies. By facilitating a deeper understanding and more granular management of financial risk, they have contributed to the development of a more sophisticated, dynamic, and resilient financial market landscape.
Conclusion
The advent of the Black-Scholes equation marks a watershed in the annals of financial theory and its practical application, heralding a new era in the quantitative analysis and valuation of options. This seminal model has fundamentally altered the terrain of global financial markets, catalyzing the proliferation of options trading and underpinning the innovation of novel financial instruments and strategic methodologies. It has substantially deepened our comprehension of market mechanics, particularly in the context of how options prices are influenced by various underlying factors.
At its core, the Black-Scholes model provided a methodological revolution by introducing a precise, mathematical approach for options pricing, transcending the erstwhile reliance on intuition and speculative approximation. This advance facilitated a more structured and predictable market environment, thereby bolstering the confidence and participation of a broader spectrum of investors and institutions. The model's implications have been profound, spanning the enhancement of liquidity in options markets to the genesis of diverse financial derivatives designed to meet the nuanced hedging and investment needs of market participants.
Moreover, the Black-Scholes framework has been instrumental in evolving the strategies deployed by hedge funds, investment banks, and individual traders. Its insights into the dynamics of volatility and its effect on option values have enriched the strategic toolkit available to financial professionals, enabling more nuanced risk management and speculative tactics. The model has also inspired the development of volatility indices and related trading products, offering avenues for direct engagement with market volatility as a distinct asset class.
Despite the passage of time and the dynamic evolution of financial markets, the Black-Scholes model retains a position of prominence within the financial industry. Its enduring relevance is a testament to its revolutionary impact and the robustness of its theoretical underpinnings. While it is acknowledged that the model has its limitations—particularly in its assumptions of constant volatility and log-normal price distributions—the financial community continues to refine and adapt its methodology to align with the complexities of contemporary market conditions.
In conclusion, the Black-Scholes equation stands as a monumental achievement in financial science, embodying a cornerstone upon which modern financial analysis and market participation rest. Its legacy is evident in the expansive growth of options trading, the continuous innovation in financial product development, and the sophisticated risk management strategies that characterize today's financial markets. The Black-Scholes model remains an indispensable tool in the arsenal of financial analysts, traders, and risk managers worldwide, affirming its enduring utility and significance in navigating the intricacies of market dynamics.

Stock analysis: fundamental analysis vs. technical analysis
When it comes to stocks, fundamental and technical analyses are at opposite ends of the market analysis spectrum.
Fundamental analysis (you can read more about it here):
Evaluates a company’s stock by examining its intrinsic value, including but not limited to tangible assets, financial statements, management effectiveness, strategic initiatives, and consumer behaviors; essentially all the basics of a company.
Being a relevant indicator for long-term investment, the fundamental analysis relies on both historical and present data to measure revenues, assets, costs, liabilities, and so on.
Generally speaking, the results from fundamental analysis don’t change with short-term news.
Technical analysis (you can read more about it here):
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.
Technical analysis focuses on historical data and current data just like fundamental analysis, but it’s mainly used for short-term trading purposes.
Due to its short-term nature, technical analysis results are easily influenced by news.
Popular technical analysis methodologies include moving average (MA), support and resistance levels, as well as trend lines and channels.
For our exercise, we’ll be looking at technical analysis solely and focusing on the Simple MA and Exponential MA techniques to predict stock prices. Additionally, we’ll utilize LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), a deep learning framework for time-series, to build a predictive model and compare its performance against our technical analysis.
As stated in the disclaimer, stock trading strategy is not in the scope of this article. I’ll be using trading/investment terms only to help you better understand the analysis, but this is not financial advice. We’ll be using terms like:
trend indicators: statistics that represent the trend of stock prices,
medium-term movements: the 50-day movement trend of stock prices.
Stock prices as time-series data
Despite the volatility, stock prices aren’t just randomly generated numbers. So, they can be analyzed as a sequence of discrete-time data; in other words, time-series observations taken at successive points in time (usually on a daily basis). Time series forecasting (predicting future values based on historical values) applies well to stock forecasting.
Because of the sequential nature of time-series data, we need a way to aggregate this sequence of information. From all the potential techniques, the most intuitive one is MA with the ability to smooth out short-term fluctuations. We’ll discuss more details in the next section.
Dataset Analysis
For this demonstration exercise, we’ll use the closing prices of Apple’s stock (ticker symbol AAPL) from the past 21 years (1999-11-01 to 2021-07-09). Analysis data will be loaded from Alpha Vantage, which offers a free API for historical and real-time stock market data.
To get data from Alpha Vantage, you need a free API key; a walk-through tutorial can be found here. Don’t want to create an API? No worries, the analysis data is available here as well. If you feel like exploring other stocks, code to download the data is accessible in this Github repo as well. Once you have the API, all you need is the ticker symbol for the particular stock.
For model training, we’ll use the oldest 80% of the data, and save the most recent 20% as the hold-out testing set.
Creating a Solvent.Life machine learning project
With regard to model training and performance comparison, Solvent.Life makes it convenient for users to track everything model-related, including hyper-parameter specification and evaluation plots.
Evaluation metrics and helper functions
Since stock prices prediction is essentially a regression problem, the RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error %) will be our current model evaluation metrics. Both are useful measures of forecast accuracy.
, where N = the number of time points, At = the actual / true stock price, Ft = the predicted / forecast value.
RMSE gives the differences between predicted and true values, whereas MAPE (%) measures this difference relative to the true values. For example, a MAPE value of 12% indicates that the mean difference between the predicted stock price and the actual stock price is 12%.
Next, let’s create several helper functions for the current exercise.
Split the stock prices data into training sequence X and the next output value Y,
Calculate the RMSE and MAPE (%),
Calculate the evaluation metrics for technical analysis and log to Solvent.Life,
Plot the trend of the stock prices and log the plot to Solvent.Life,
Predicting stock price with Moving Average (MA) technique
MA is a popular method to smooth out random movements in the stock market. Similar to a sliding window, an MA is an average that moves along the time scale/periods; older data points get dropped as newer data points are added.
Commonly used periods are 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day MA for short-term, medium-term, and long-term investment respectively.
Two types of MA are most preferred by financial analysts: Simple MA and Exponential MA.
Simple MA
SMA, short for Simple Moving Average, calculates the average of a range of stock (closing) prices over a specific number of periods in that range. The formula for SMA is:
, where Pn = the stock price at time point n, N = the number of time points.
For this exercise of building an SMA model, we’ll use the Python code below to compute the 50-day SMA. We’ll also add a 200-day SMA for good measure.
In our Solvent.Life run, we’ll see the performance metrics on the testing set; RMSE = 43.77, and MAPE = 12.53%. In addition, the trend chart shows the 50-day, 200-day SMA predictions compared with the true stock closing values.
Exponential MA
Different from SMA, which assigns equal weights to all historical data points, EMA, short for Exponential Moving Average, applies higher weights to recent prices, i.e., tail data points of the 50-day MA in our example. The magnitude of the weighting factor depends on the number of time periods. The formula to calculate EMA is:
,
where Pt = the price at time point t,
EMAt-1 = EMA at time point t-1,
N = number of time points in EMA,
and weighting factor k = 2/(N+1).
One advantage of the EMA over SMA is that EMA is more responsive to price changes, which makes it useful for short-term trading. Here’s a Python implementation of EMA:
Examining the performance metrics tracked in Solvent.Life, we have RMSE = 36.68, and MAPE = 10.71%, which is an improvement from SMA’s 43.77 and 12.53% for RMSE and MAPE, respectively. The trend chart generated from this EMA model also implies that it outperforms the SMA.
Introduction to LSTMs for the time-series data
Now, let’s move on to the LSTM model. LSTM, short for Long Short-term Memory, is an extremely powerful algorithm for time series. It can capture historical trend patterns, and predict future values with high accuracy.
In a nutshell, the key component to understand an LSTM model is the Cell State (Ct), which represents the internal short-term and long-term memories of a cell.
To control and manage the cell state, an LSTM model contains three gates/layers. It’s worth mentioning that the “gates” here can be treated as filters to let information in (being remembered) or out (being forgotten).
Forget gate:
As the name implies, forget gate decides which information to throw away from the current cell state. Mathematically, it applies a sigmoid function to output/returns a value between [0, 1] for each value from the previous cell state (Ct-1); here ‘1’ indicates “completely passing through” whereas ‘0’ indicates “completely filtering out”
Input gate:
It’s used to choose which new information gets added and stored in the current cell state. In this layer, a sigmoid function is implemented to reduce the values in the input vector (it), and then a tanh function squashes each value between [-1, 1] (Ct). Element-by-element matrix multiplication of it and Ct represents new information that needs to be added to the current cell state.
Output gate:
The output gate is implemented to control the output flowing to the next cell state. Similar to the input gate, an output gate applies a sigmoid and then a tanh function to filter out unwanted information, keeping only what we’ve decided to let through.
For a more detailed understanding of LSTM, you can check out this document.
Knowing the theory of LSTM, you must be wondering how it does at predicting real-world stock prices. We’ll find out in the next section, by building an LSTM model and comparing its performance against the two technical analysis models: SMA and EMA.
Predicting stock prices with an LSTM model
First, we need to create a Solvent.Life experiment dedicated to LSTM, which includes the specified hyper-parameters.
Next, we scale the input data for LSTM model regulation and split it into train and test sets.
A couple of notes:
we use the StandardScaler, rather than the MinMaxScaler as you might have seen before. The reason is that stock prices are ever-changing, and there are no true min or max values. It doesn’t make sense to use the MinMaxScaler, although this choice probably won’t lead to disastrous results at the end of the day;
stock price data in its raw format can’t be used in an LSTM model directly; we need to transform it using our pre-defined `extract_seqX_outcomeY` function. For instance, to predict the 51st price, this function creates input vectors of 50 data points prior and uses the 51st price as the outcome value.
Moving on, let’s kick off the LSTM modeling process. Specifically, we’re building an LSTM with two hidden layers, and a ‘linear’ activation function upon the output. We also use Solvent.Life’s Keras integration to monitor and log model training progress live.
Read more about the integration in the Solvent.Life Docs
Once the training completes, we’ll test the model against our hold-out set.
Time to calculate the performance metrics and log them to Solvent.Life.
In Solvent.Life, it’s amazing to see that our LSTM model achieved an RMSE = 12.58 and MAPE = 2%; a tremendous improvement from the SMA and EMA models! The trend chart shows a near-perfect overlay of the predicted and actual closing price for our testing set.
Final thoughts on new methodologies
We’ve seen the advantage of LSTMs in the example of predicting Apple stock prices compared to traditional MA models. Be careful about making generalizations to other stocks, because, unlike other stationary time series, stock market data is less-to-none seasonal and more chaotic.
In our example, Apple, as one of the biggest tech giants, has not only established a mature business model and management, its sales figures also benefit from the release of innovative products or services. Both contribute to the lower implied volatility of Apple stock, making the predictions relatively easier for the LSTM model in contrast to different, high-volatility stocks.
To account for the chaotic dynamics of the stock market, Echo State Networks (ESN) is proposed. As a new invention within the RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks) family, ESN utilizes a hidden layer with several neurons flowing and loosely interconnected; this hidden layer is referred to as the ‘reservoir’ designed to capture the non-linear history information of input data.
At a high level, an ESN takes in a time-series input vector and maps it to a high-dimensional feature space, i.e. the dynamical reservoir (neurons aren’t connected like a net but rather like a reservoir). Then, at the output layer, a linear activation function is applied to calculate the final predictions.
If you’re interested in learning more about this methodology, check out the original paper by Jaeger and Haas.
In addition, it would be interesting to incorporate sentiment analysis on news and social media regarding the stock market in general, as well as a given stock of interest. Another promising approach for better stock price predictions is the hybrid model, where we add MA predictions as input vectors to the LSTM model. You might want to explore different methodologies, too.

Black–Scholes equation & Solvent.Life™
The Black-Scholes equation, a cornerstone of modern financial theory, revolutionized the way we understand and engage with financial markets, particularly in the realm of options pricing. Developed in 1973 by economists Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, and later expanded upon by Robert Merton, this formula provided the first widely accepted model for valuing European-style options, laying the groundwork for the explosive growth of options trading and the broader field of financial engineering. This essay delves into the specifics of the Black-Scholes equation, its application in financial markets, and the profound implications it holds for traders, financial analysts, and the structure of markets themselves.
The Essence of the Black-Scholes Equation
At its core, the Black-Scholes equation is a partial differential equation that describes how the price of an option evolves over time with respect to various factors, including the underlying asset's price, time until the option's expiration, the risk-free interest rate, and the asset's volatility. The formula for a European call option (an option to buy at a certain price) is given by:
Application in Financial Markets
The Black-Scholes-Merton model, a cornerstone in modern financial theory, offers a groundbreaking analytical framework for the valuation of European-style options, which are a specific category of financial derivatives. These derivatives empower the holder with a distinctive right, devoid of any accompanying obligation, to either purchase (call option) or sell (put option) a designated underlying asset—be it equities, indices, or commodities—at a predetermined strike price, exclusively on the option's maturity date. Historically, the valuation of such options was predominantly predicated on heuristic methods and rudimentary guesswork until the advent of the Black-Scholes model in 1973, introduced by Fischer Black, Myron Scholes, and, independently, Robert Merton. This model revolutionized the field by offering a systematic, formula-based approach to option pricing that rigorously accounts for critical factors such as the time value of money, the inherent risk of the underlying asset's price volatility, and the risk-free rate of return.
The Black-Scholes formula, specifically, calculates the theoretical price of European options by integrating various determinants, including the current price of the underlying asset, the option's strike price, the time until expiration (termed as the option's "time to maturity"), the risk-free interest rate, and the volatility of the underlying asset's returns. A notable example of its application can be observed in the valuation of European call options on stock indices like the S&P 500. In this context, the model takes into account the current level of the index, the strike level of the option, the expiry date, prevailing risk-free interest rates (often proxied by government securities yields), and the historical volatility of the index returns to compute a theoretical price for the option.
Critically, the Black-Scholes model is founded on several key assumptions: it posits that the markets are frictionless, meaning there are no transaction costs or taxes, and trading of the underlying asset is continuous. It assumes the lognormal distribution of underlying asset prices, which implies that the prices can only assume positive values and the returns on the asset are normally distributed. Moreover, it presupposes a constant volatility and risk-free rate over the life of the option. Despite these simplifying assumptions, which abstract away from the complexities of real-world market conditions—such as the impact of financial crises on asset prices or the changing risk-free rate over time—the model's derived valuations have proven to be remarkably robust for a broad array of option pricing scenarios, making it a pivotal tool in both academic research and practical finance. However, it's crucial to note that deviations from these assumptions, such as the occurrence of significant market events leading to spikes in asset volatility (e.g., the 2008 financial crisis), can necessitate adjustments to the model or alternative valuation methods to capture the nuanced dynamics of financial markets more accurately.
Implications for Financial Markets
The introduction of the Black-Scholes equation into the financial domain initiated a paradigm shift with extensive repercussions across global financial markets. It was not merely a theoretical advancement but a catalyst that propelled the exponential expansion of options trading. This surge was made possible by equipping market participants with a robust, empirically validated methodology for the valuation of options. The consequent evolution into the Black-Scholes-Merton model expanded its applicability, embedding its principles deep into the infrastructure of contemporary financial engineering and risk management disciplines. This extended framework now serves as the foundational bedrock for a multitude of financial mechanisms, including, but not limited to, the pricing models for exotic options, corporate liabilities, and even real options analysis, which assesses investment opportunities in real assets as options.
The transformative influence of the Black-Scholes model extended beyond the realm of quantitative finance, engendering significant structural changes within financial markets themselves. One of the most pivotal of these changes was the democratization of financial markets. By demystifying the complexities of options pricing through a transparent and accessible approach, the Black-Scholes model significantly broadened the demographic of participants capable of engaging in options trading. This inclusivity fostered enhanced market liquidity and depth, as a more diverse array of investors began to contribute to the trading volume, thereby stabilizing and enriching the market ecosystem.
Moreover, the model's theoretical insights into the pivotal role of volatility in determining options prices have precipitated the development and popularization of sophisticated volatility trading strategies. These strategies exploit fluctuations in volatility rather than price movements of the underlying asset itself. A prime illustration of this is the creation and widespread adoption of the Volatility Index (VIX). Dubbed the "fear index," the VIX quantifies market expectations of volatility over the forthcoming 30-day period, derived from S&P 500 index options prices. It serves as a barometer for market sentiment, with higher values indicating increased uncertainty or fear among investors. The VIX itself has become a focal point for investors, spawning a plethora of derivative products that allow direct trading on volatility expectations, thereby adding a new dimension to portfolio diversification and risk management strategies.
In essence, the Black-Scholes model and its derivatives have not only recalibrated the technical approaches to financial valuation and risk management but have also fundamentally reshaped market structures and investment strategies. By facilitating a deeper understanding and more granular management of financial risk, they have contributed to the development of a more sophisticated, dynamic, and resilient financial market landscape.
Conclusion
The advent of the Black-Scholes equation marks a watershed in the annals of financial theory and its practical application, heralding a new era in the quantitative analysis and valuation of options. This seminal model has fundamentally altered the terrain of global financial markets, catalyzing the proliferation of options trading and underpinning the innovation of novel financial instruments and strategic methodologies. It has substantially deepened our comprehension of market mechanics, particularly in the context of how options prices are influenced by various underlying factors.
At its core, the Black-Scholes model provided a methodological revolution by introducing a precise, mathematical approach for options pricing, transcending the erstwhile reliance on intuition and speculative approximation. This advance facilitated a more structured and predictable market environment, thereby bolstering the confidence and participation of a broader spectrum of investors and institutions. The model's implications have been profound, spanning the enhancement of liquidity in options markets to the genesis of diverse financial derivatives designed to meet the nuanced hedging and investment needs of market participants.
Moreover, the Black-Scholes framework has been instrumental in evolving the strategies deployed by hedge funds, investment banks, and individual traders. Its insights into the dynamics of volatility and its effect on option values have enriched the strategic toolkit available to financial professionals, enabling more nuanced risk management and speculative tactics. The model has also inspired the development of volatility indices and related trading products, offering avenues for direct engagement with market volatility as a distinct asset class.
Despite the passage of time and the dynamic evolution of financial markets, the Black-Scholes model retains a position of prominence within the financial industry. Its enduring relevance is a testament to its revolutionary impact and the robustness of its theoretical underpinnings. While it is acknowledged that the model has its limitations—particularly in its assumptions of constant volatility and log-normal price distributions—the financial community continues to refine and adapt its methodology to align with the complexities of contemporary market conditions.
In conclusion, the Black-Scholes equation stands as a monumental achievement in financial science, embodying a cornerstone upon which modern financial analysis and market participation rest. Its legacy is evident in the expansive growth of options trading, the continuous innovation in financial product development, and the sophisticated risk management strategies that characterize today's financial markets. The Black-Scholes model remains an indispensable tool in the arsenal of financial analysts, traders, and risk managers worldwide, affirming its enduring utility and significance in navigating the intricacies of market dynamics.
