Absolutely! Here's a clean and professional README.md
template for your Stock Price Prediction using LSTM project — perfect for your GitHub repo and resume portfolio.
# 📈 Stock Price Prediction using LSTM
This project is a machine learning-based application that predicts future stock prices using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network. It also features an interactive Streamlit web app for visualizing actual vs predicted stock prices.

## 🚀 Features
- 💹 Predict stock prices based on historical data
- 📊 Visualize real vs predicted prices
- 🧠 Trained using LSTM (Recurrent Neural Network)
- 🛠️ Built with Python, Keras, Pandas, NumPy, Streamlit
- 📁 Jupyter Notebook for model training
- 🌐 Streamlit app for UI

## 🧠 LSTM Model Overview
- Data Source: Yahoo Finance (`yfinance` library)
- Model: Sequential LSTM model using TensorFlow/Keras
- Input: 60-day window of past stock prices
- Output: Next day's predicted price
- Loss Function: Mean Squared Error (MSE)
- Optimizer: Adam

## ⚙️ Installation & Setup
1. **Clone the repo**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/stock-price-prediction.git
cd stock-price-prediction
- Create virtual environment (Python 3.10 recommended)
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate # On Windows
# source venv/bin/activate # On macOS/Linux
- Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Run Streamlit app
python -m streamlit run app.py
Open the stock_predictor.ipynb
notebook in VS Code or JupyterLab. Run the cells to:
- Load stock data
- Preprocess and scale it
- Build and train the LSTM model
- Generate and save
real_prices.npy
andpredicted_prices.npy
- Python 3.10
- pandas
- numpy
- yfinance
- matplotlib
- scikit-learn
- tensorflow / keras
- streamlit
Install everything with:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Add dynamic model training based on user-selected stocks
- Integrate more advanced models (e.g., ARIMA, Prophet)
- Deploy app online via Streamlit Cloud or HuggingFace Spaces
- Data from Yahoo Finance
- Model inspiration from TensorFlow/Keras examples
