LightGBM Stock Predictor
Our prediction system is powered by a gradient boosting model called LightGBM (Light Gradient Boosting Machine). By analyzing years of hourly stock price data and technical indicators, it learns which conditions tend to lead to gains — and uses that knowledge to flag high-probability trade setups for the next day.
🔍 What the Model Sees
The system processes each moment in time using enhanced data features, including:
- Hourly stock prices (open, high, low, close, volume)
- Indicators: RSI, EMA, MACD, Bollinger Bands, VWAP
- Volume surges and trending slopes
- Pattern detection: red-to-green, bullish engulfing
- Trend strength: ADX, EMA uptrend duration
⚙️ How It Predicts
The model learns from past stock movements and their outcomes — then applies that knowledge to forecast future moves:
- Labels each day based on whether the price moved up or down the next day
- Trains LightGBM to identify which features matter most
- Generates daily predictions based on the latest market setup
- Continuously improves using newly collected trade and price data
🔬 About LightGBM (Light Gradient Boosting Machine)
LightGBM is an advanced machine learning framework developed by Microsoft. It is built for speed and efficiency when handling large-scale, high-dimensional datasets. Unlike traditional decision tree models, LightGBM uses Gradient Boosting to build a sequence of optimized trees — each correcting the errors of the last — which allows it to capture complex, non-linear patterns with high accuracy.
⚙️ Why LightGBM?
- Faster training and prediction than other boosting models
- Scales to thousands of features and millions of rows
- Built-in handling of missing values
- Efficient memory usage with GPU support
- Regularization to prevent overfitting
🔍 Technical Features
- Leaf-wise tree growth with depth control
- Gradient-based One-Side Sampling (GOSS)
- Exclusive Feature Bundling (EFB) for dimensionality reduction
- Supports both classification and regression tasks
- Optimized for time-series modeling with lag features
