AI VS WALLSTREET: PREDICTING TESLA STOCK
A quantitative research project exploring whether deep learning models can forecast movements in highly volatile equities such as Tesla, Inc..
The study is a deep learning exercise* that analyzes historical Tesla price data and applies ML techniques to identify temporal patterns embedded in market dynamics and investor sentiment.
Using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network, the model learns sequential dependencies in price movements and generates forward-looking predictions of short-term stock behavior.
The model was trained using an 80/20 back-testing framework, learning from historical data and evaluating performance on unseen observations.
Results demonstrated strong predictive capability. The model captured major directional movements in Tesla’s stock while achieving a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 23.24 in price predictions.
Despite Tesla’s highly sentiment-driven volatility and short-squeeze dynamics, the model consistently identified underlying trends in the time series, illustrating how deep learning can uncover hidden signals in financial markets.
The project demonstrates how neural networks can augment traditional market analysis and serve as a foundation for AI-driven trading strategies and quantitative forecasting systems.

PRESS
Long Short-Term Memory Networks - Sepp Hochreiter & Jürgen Schmidhuber
LSTM networks are a specialized architecture of recurrent neural networks designed to learn long-term dependencies in sequential data. Introduced in 1997, they have become one of the most widely used deep learning models for time-series forecasting.
Deep Learning in Financial Markets - Massachusetts Institute of Technology & Stanford University
Research from leading AI and finance institutions has shown that neural networks can identify nonlinear relationships and hidden structures in financial time series, enabling improved prediction of asset price behavior.
Market Efficiency Theory - Eugene Fama
Fama’s Efficient Market Hypothesis provides the theoretical framework for evaluating whether advanced predictive models and alternative signals can outperform traditional financial forecasting methods.
