Create a dedicated Stock Predictor folder in Google Drive to store all project outputs—trained LSTM model, plots, forecasts, CSV files, and metadata—using exist_ok to ensure reproducibility.
Discover a flexible data fetching function that downloads stock data with yfinance, offering either close prices only or multi-feature data including open, high, low, close, and volume.
Load the best performing LSTM model saved by TensorFlow Keras checkpointing for prediction and evaluation, ensuring maximum generalization by deploying the best checkpoint rather than the latest training state.
Plot forecasted future prices to visualize the lstm predictions for next 30 business days, with labeled axes and a legend for clarity. Save as a png and display in Colab.
Document the model by saving a JSON metadata file in Google Drive with ticker, training period, sequence length, features, forecast horizon, hyperparameters, and RMSE. This passport ensures reproducibility and transparency.
In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to build a complete Stock Price Prediction System using LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) networks in Python — one of the most powerful deep learning architectures for time series data. Designed for learners with basic programming knowledge, this course walks you through real-world financial forecasting using historical stock market data.
You will begin with data collection from Yahoo Finance using yfinance, and learn how to preprocess and visualize stock price data with pandas, NumPy, and matplotlib. You’ll then dive deep into sequence modeling using LSTM from TensorFlow/Keras — a powerful neural network for capturing patterns in sequential data like stock prices. We will cover model architecture design, training strategies using early stopping and checkpointing, and advanced features such as rolling window forecasting and future prediction.
Additionally, you’ll learn how to deploy your project on Google Colab with GPU acceleration, and save models, scalers, metrics, and results directly to your Google Drive for seamless storage and access.
By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to develop your own time series forecasting tools — a valuable skill in finance, AI applications, and predictive analytics. Whether you're a student, developer, or aspiring data scientist, this project-based approach ensures you can apply your knowledge in the real world.
