📘 README.md — Stock Price Prediction using LSTM

# 📈 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
  1. Create virtual environment (Python 3.10 recommended)
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
# source venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
  1. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Run Streamlit app
python -m streamlit run app.py

🧪 How to Train the Model

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 and predicted_prices.npy

🖼️ Example Output

Predicted vs Actual


📦 Dependencies
