Abstract

The advantages of machine learning model for fuzzy nonlinear data modeling enable it to be well applied to predict complex nonlinear stock price of low signal-to-noise ratio. Most of the research on stock price prediction with machine learning focuses on the effect evaluation or improvement of a single algorithm, while the comparative research on algorithms has little attention. For investors, the first confusion before predicting stock price trend is to choose the appropriate model instead of optimizing. In this paper, we compare the up-or-down classification performance on a series of prediction windows of LightGBM, Random Forest and Logistic Regression on three stocks to verify the consistency of results. Some technical indicators, e.g., Relative Strength Index (RSI), Simple Moving Averages (SMA) etc. are selected as factors to train our models. Encouragingly, the comparison results show that the prediction performance of the models are significantly different in short and long time window. This finding has some guiding significance for the improvement of long-term and short-term forecasting performance. In addition, some useful suggestions based on the conclusion can be put forward to instruct investors to make better quantitative investment.
