Trading: Leveraging LSTM for Time-Series Forecasting: A Deep Learning Approach

Time-series forecasting is a critical task in various domains, including finance, sales, and weather prediction. In recent years, deep learning techniques, particularly Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, have gained prominence for their ability to capture temporal dependencies and make accurate predictions. In this blog post, we explore the implementation of an LSTM-based forecasting model using PyTorch, focusing on generating synthetic data, model training, evaluation, and result analysis.

Generating Synthetic Time-Series Data

To demonstrate the effectiveness of our LSTM model, we start by generating synthetic time-series data. Instead of using a sinusoidal wave, we employ a random walk process to simulate realistic fluctuations in the data. This synthetic data serves as a suitable input for training and evaluating our forecasting model.

Building the LSTM Forecasting Model

We define an LSTM network architecture using PyTorch, a popular deep learning framework. Our model consists of an LSTM layer followed by a fully connected linear layer to produce the output. The network is trained using mean squared error loss and optimized using the Adam optimizer. We also leverage GPU…
