This program uses some machine learning technologies to predict increasing or decreasing of stocks in the nearest 2-3 days.

Supported platforms:

Installation guide

• Make sure you have Python 3 (or higher) installed

git clone https://github.com/GeorgyFirsov/News.git
cd News
pip install selenium
pip install user_agent
pip install pymorphy2
pip install xgboost
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
pip install pandas
pip install flask
pip install string
pip install datetime
pip install unicodecsv
pip install scikit-learn

Or you can create *.sh or *.bat script, paste this code there and run it (it is a bit easier).

• Try to run program by following code

python ./Main.py

If something else is not installed, just install it :)

That's it! Fell free to use according to GPL License.

Generating a new predictor

Sometimes you may get Segmentation Fault error. Or maybe you have some other reasons to generate your own predictor. You can do it by following instructions:

Windows

• Make sure you have jupyter notebook installed (you have, if you use Anaconda).
• Launch jupyter notebook via Anaconda Navigator (or somehow else).
• Run all cells in Learn.ipynb. You can rerun 'Training our predictor' section until you get accuracy you want (consider that you cannot get score above 90%!).
• Replace Predictor.pickle in data folder with newly generated one (it is located near Learn.ipynb).

Linux / Mac OS X

• Usually you have installed jupyter notebook, if you have Python installed. If not - install it.
• Run

jupyter notebook

• Look for Learn.ipynb.
• Run all cells. You can rerun 'Training our predictor' section until you get accuracy you want (consider that you cannot get score above 90%!).
• Replace Predictor.pickle in data folder with newly generated one (it is located near Learn.ipynb).
