Stock prediction results week 20

In short, a much longer evaluation period is needed to verify if there is any significance in those classifications. It did quite well for Tuesday and Wednesday (60% and 83% correct), bad on Thursday (36%) and what can be expected by random on Friday (48%). I may setup a site that will feed predictions automatically over a long period of time. What also would be really interesting is to feed stock news into the training data. Below is detailed information of how the classifications turned out, if anyone is interested!

Attempt on predicting stock for 15 of May 2009

Finally friday! Todays classifier predictions seems to vary more than yesterdays.

Prediction for 15 of May 2009

It’s now the 15 of May 08:15 in the morning (GMT+1, Stockholm), and this is a prediction for today:

Some predicted winners (closing price > opening price):

Attempt on predicting stock for 14 of May 2009

It turns out that all this manual work takes a lot of time, so I’ll automate the process during this weekend. However, I will continue to post predictions. As soon it has been automated I will post accuracies, which is going to be interesting =)

Again today, it was hard to find predictions for stock that may go up, out of the 200 most reliable classifiers, only 15 were predicted as winners.

Prediction for 14 of May 2009

It’s now the 14 of May 08:30 in the morning (GMT+1, Stockholm), and this is a prediction for today:

Some predicted winners (closing price > opening price):
ESL, FXP, MDC, DUG, PLL, PETM, ADPT, DVN, COG, LDSH, ACV, TSO, CRS, DLB, PTNR

Some predicted losers (closing price < opening price):
CPX, TTMI, UNT, FNM, HIT, UTSI, KMT, GT, WAB, AWI, GIB, GPI, DD, ME, ANAD, CHRD, TXI, WGOV, EQIX, ATPG, DOW, AIR, ALV, AVP, USG, CLR, CRBC, ACTG, ATI, DWSN, CIM, ACXM, TWI, CAM, ID, UEPS, COH, AYR, CLF, BWS, ALOG, CEDC, ADVNB, ANF, IP, DCI, GNK, UYM, AFL

Attempt on predicting stock for 13 of May 2009

I am in a hurry and didn’t have time to predict all winners, I’ll have to automate this =) I will get back with the results from yesterday later.

Prediction for 13 of May 2009

It’s now the 13 of May 08:30 in the morning (GMT+1, Stockholm), and this is a prediction for today:

Some predicted winners (closing price > opening price), incomplete list:
HIT, FWRD, EGN, GIB, DWSN, CEDC, DLB

Some predicted losers (closing price < opening price):
TTMI, GT, UTSI, FNM, ESL, KMT, AWI, TXI, ANAD, ME, WGOV, GPI, ATPG, AVP, EQIX, DOW, AIR, ALV, CLR, USG, CRBC, ATI, ACTG, CIM, ADPT, ACXM, ID, TWI, CAM, AYR, CLF, BWS, ANF, USTR, FCG, EAC, DEI, WCC, EXPE, CBI, ALB, GLF, UFPI, WHR, AVT

Tomorrow I will report how many that were correctly classified, until then you may check for yourself at for example Yahoo! Finance.

Attempt on predicting stock for 12 of May 2009

A couple of months ago I wrote about a project that would use classifiers to predict tomorrows stock market. I’ve now found some time to implement the very basics, a database with stock history, +3000 classifiers trained on this data and some simple classification scripts.

Instead of waiting, pondering and validating that everything works properly I’ve decided to do this “live”, starting to predict what may happen with some of the stocks for today. There are probably some corrections that will need to be done on the way to see if this is working or not (bug fixes etc).

I’ll select stocks that seem to have been working well to for classification in the past, I’ll probably present 100 of them per time.
