In the financial literature, there is great interest in the prediction of stock prices. Stock prediction is necessary for the creation of different investment strategies, both speculative and hedging ones. The application of neural networks has involved a change in the creation of predictive models. In this paper, we analyze the capacity of recurrent neural networks, in particular the long short-term recurrent neural network (LSTM) as opposed to classic time series models such as the Exponential Smooth Time Series (ETS) and the Arima model (ARIMA). These models have been estimated for 284 stocks from the S&P 500 stock market index, comparing the MAE obtained from their predictions. The results obtained confirm a significant reduction in prediction errors when LSTM is applied. These results are consistent with other similar studies applied to stocks included in other stock market indices, as well as other financial assets such as exchange rates.

The Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) stock market index is one of the main indicators commonly used as a reference for national economic conditions. The value of the stock market index is often being used by investment companies and individual investors to help making investment decisions. Therefore, the ability to predict the stock market index value is a critical need. In the fields of statistics and probability theory as well as machine learning, various methods have been developed to predict the value of the stock market index with a good accuracy. However, previous research results have found that no one method is superior to other methods. This study proposes an ensemble model based on deep learning architecture, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), called the CNN-LSTM. To be able to predict financial time series data, CNN-LSTM takes feature from CNN for extraction of important features from time series data, which are then integrated with LSTM feature that is reliable in processing time series data. Results of experiments on the proposed CNN-LSTM model confirm that the hybrid model effectively provides better predictive accuracy than the stand-alone time series data forecasting models, such as CNN and LSTM.
