VI. CONCLUSION AND

FUTURESCOPE
Algorithmic Trading Enhancements involve
expanding and refining the suite of
algorithmic trading strategies to cover a
wider range of trading styles and asset
classes, including options or derivatives.
Concurrently, Machine Learning
Advancements focus on continuously
improving AI models for stock price
prediction by incorporating advanced deep
learning techniques to enhance forecast
accuracy. Looking forward, Social Media
Integration aims to broaden the integration of
social media monitoring for stock mentions
and sentiment analysis, providing traders
with a comprehensive understanding of
market sentiment. Additionally, plans
include developing a Mobile Application
version of the trading platform to cater to
users preferring mobile trading with access
to real-time data and analysis. Community
and Social Features will be implemented to
enable users to share insights and trading
ideas within the platform, fostering a vibrant
trading community. Expansion into
international markets and assets,
accompanied by enhanced security measures
and regulatory compliance, is also
envisioned. Leveraging machine learning for
pattern recognition in historical data and
introducing AI-driven customer support
further enhance the project's scope for the
future.
