Resumo:
Investors are always looking for an edge. However, traditional economic theories tell us that trying to predict short-term stock price movements is wasted effort, since it approximate a random walk, i.e., a stochastic or random process. Besides, these theories state that the market is efficient enough to always incorporate and reflect all relevant information, making it impossible to beat the market. In recent years, with the growth of the web and data availability in conjunction with advances in Machine Learning, a number of works are using Natural Language Processing to predict share price variations based on financial news and social networks data. Therefore, strong evidences are surfacing that the market can, in some level, be predicted. This work describes the development of an application based on Machine Learning to predict trends in the stock market, i.e., positive, negative or neutral price variations with minute granularity. We evaluate our system using B3 (Brasil Bolsa Balcão), formerly BM&FBOVESPA, stock quotes data, and a dataset with the most relevant topics of Google Search and its related articles, provided by the Google Trends platform and collected, minute by minute, from 08/15/2016 to 07/10/2017. The experiments show that this data provides useful information to the task at hand, in which we achieve 69.24 per cent accuracy predicting trends for the PETR4 stock, creating some leverage to make profits possible with intraday trading.
