sophisticated methods to overcome this uncertainty. One way to deal with the complexity of the stock market
is by applying deep learning. Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that uses artificial neural network
architecture with many layers (deep neural networks) to process and understand data. The main advantage
of deep learning lies in its ability to recognize complex patterns and capture non-linear relationships in data,
which are often difficult or even impossible to identify by traditional analysis methods.
Several previous studies have shown the great potential of deep learning in predicting stock price
movements. The power of deep learning lies in its ability to process large volumes of data, handle data with
complex structures, and adaptively update its models over time. By leveraging historical stock market
information, deep learning can identify hidden patterns, recognize trends, and provide more accurate
predictions. However, it is essential to remember that the success of deep learning in this context is not
absolute. The use of deep learning in stock market predictions is still a growing area of research, and this
study aims to contribute to our understanding of the extent to which deep learning can help improve the
accuracy of predicting stock market movements. In forecasting dynamic and complex stock market
movements, financial analysts and researchers continue to seek more sophisticated methods to overcome this
uncertainty. One approach that has been widely researched is the application of deep learning. As a branch
of artificial intelligence, deep learning uses artificial neural network architecture with many layers (deep neural
networks) to process and understand stock market data. The main advantage of deep learning lies in its ability
to recognize complex patterns and capture non-linear relationships in data, which are often difficult or even
impossible to identify by traditional analysis methods [1][2][3]. Several studies have shown that deep learning,
such as LSTM and CONV1D LSTM Network, can be used in stock price movement forecast models. Genetic
algorithms in a hybrid approach have also proven effective in predicting stock market movements. Another
study shows that deep learning can help predict stock market direction directly from price data. Thus, applying
deep learning in stock market analysis promises to provide a more sophisticated and accurate method of
predicting stock price movements, especially in the face of the complexity and dynamics of the stock market,
which is influenced by various external and internal factors.
Although research shows the positive potential of deep learning in stock market forecasting, knowledge
gaps still need to be filled. Some studies may have experimental design limitations, data variations, or different
evaluation methods. Therefore, this study systematically investigates how deep learning can improve the
accuracy of stock market movement predictions and fill existing knowledge gaps. A relevant reference to
support the positive potential of deep learning in stock market forecasting is research by Song et al. (2022)
[4]. This study shows that when comparing forecasting effects among various models, the forecasting effect
of deep learning models is the best, followed by machine learning models, and traditional econometric models
are the lowest. This shows that deep learning has the potential to provide better forecasting results in
predicting stock price movements. In addition, research by Zhang and Lei (2022) also supports the positive
potential of deep learning in stock prediction. They state that recent advances in machine learning and deep
learning have enabled more accurate stock forecasts, with most studies showing that their models can
outperform market averages or produce relatively high returns [5]. This confirms that deep learning can
improve the accuracy of stock market predictions. Thus, based on relevant research, deep learning has
significant positive potential in predicting stock market movements more accurately and can provide better
forecast results than traditional methods.
In financial analysis, predicting stock market movements is essential to help investors in making stock
transaction decisions. Stock price movements, which tend to be non-linear, can make it difficult for investors
to make predictions [6]. Various methods have been used in stock price prediction, such as Support Vector
Machine (SVM), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), K-Nearest Neighbors,
and genetic algorithms [7][8][9][10][11]. Research has shown that accurate prediction models can help
investors plan when to buy or sell shares and develop effective trading strategies [7]. Apart from that, the
results of predicting stock price movements are also significant in optimizing investment decisions, especially
in unstable market conditions such as during the COVID-19 pandemic [12]. Combined methods such as
Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been proposed to improve the
accuracy of predicting stock price movements [13]. The use of genetic algorithms to optimize Support Vector
Machine (SVM) parameters has also been proven to increase accuracy in predicting stock price movements
[14]. Thus, using deep learning techniques, such as SVM, LSTM, and genetic algorithms, in analysis can
significantly contribute to predicting stock market movements accurately and significantly contribute to
decisions.
This research was designed with the maito evaluation of using deep learning to predict stock price
movements. In addition, this research aims to compare the performance of deep learning models with
traditional methods of financial analysis that have long been used. Furthermore, this research will identify

critical factors that can influence predictions of stock market movements, providing deeper insight into the
complexity of the stock market. By formulating these objectives, this research is expected to significantly
contribute to the financial analysis literature and advance our understanding of the potential of deep learning
in forecasting stock market movements. To evaluate the effectiveness of using deep learning in predicting
stock price movements is research (Patriya, 2020) [7]. This research creates a prediction model for IHSG
closing prices using the Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithm, which produces good prediction and
generalization capabilities with RMSE training values of 14,334 and testing of 20,281, as well as MAPE training
of 0.211% and testing of 0.251% [7]. Apart from that, research can also significantly contribute to evaluating
the effectiveness of deep learning in predicting stock price movements. This study shows that deep learning
models have the best forecasting effect compared to machine learning models and traditional econometric
models, demonstrating the potential of deep learning to provide better forecasting results in predicting stock
price movements [7]. Evaluation of the effectiveness of deep learning in forecasting stock price movements
can give valuable insights in developing more sophisticated and accurate stock market analysis methods.
Predicting stock market movements is essential in financial analysis to help investors make stock
transaction decisions. Stock price movements, which tend to be non-linear, can make it difficult for investors
to make predictions [6]. Various methods have been used in stock price prediction, such as Support Vector

has also been proven to increase accuracy in predicting stock price movements [14][15]. Thus, using deep
learning techniques, such as SVM, LSTM, and genetic algorithms, in financial analysis can significantly
contribute to predicting stock market movements accurately, helping investors makeer investment decisions.

2. Research Method

Deep learning has become a powerful tool in accurately forecasting stock market movements. Various
studies have investigated the use of deep learning techniques such as stacked autoencoders, Long Short-Term
Memory (LSTM), Asymmetric Hurst Exponents, and Hybrid Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks for stock
market prediction [16][17][18]. These approaches have demonstrated promising results in improving stock
price forecasts' accuracy, offering valuable insights for investors and risk managers, and understanding
expected time series models used in finance [18]. Research focusing on the methodology and data
representations in deep learning networks for stock market analysis and prediction highlights improved
covariance estimation when applied to market structure analysis [19]. Additionally, it introduces a combined
network model of LSTM for stock price prediction, showing significantly enhanced prediction accuracy and
reduced regression error compared to the original LSTM model [20]. Moreover, such studies underscore the
importance of considering trade relationships in accurately predicting stock market indices, highlighting the
potential of multivariate CNN-LSTM models for financial time-series prediction [21]. These models assist in
forecasting stock prices and contribute to risk management and portfolio optimization in the economic domain
[22]. Incorporating deep learning techniques in stock market prediction has demonstrated significant potential
in enhancing forecasting accuracy and providing valuable insights for various stakeholders in the financial
sector. By using innovative approaches like LSTM, CNN-LSTM, and hybrid neural network models, researchers
can develop more sophisticated and effective prediction models, ultimately improving decision-making
processes in stock market investments.

2.1 Data Collection

In the initial stages of research, the main foundation in building a prediction model for stock price
movements is data collection. The data required includes historical stock price data from various financial
instruments, economic indicators such as stock indices, interest rates, and other factors that influence stock
market movements. Data collection is carried out from trusted sources such as financial platforms, official
economic institutions, and stock market data providers. Accurate and complete data quality is very important
for the success of the analysis in this study [19]. Studies have shown that the use of deep learning networks
can improve prediction performance by extracting additional information from residuals compared to traditional

in improving model performance and accuracy in predicting short-term stock price movements [23].
Additionally, the inclusion of effective indicators such as stock-related events and market sentiment in
prediction models has been shown to significantly improve prediction accuracy [24]. Research has also
explored innovative approaches such as the use of kernel adaptive filtering in a stock market dependency
framework for predicting stock returns, long short-term memory networks optimized with genetic algorithms,
and attention-guided deep neural networks for stock index prediction. These methods aim to provide reliable
trading signals and assist investors in adapting efficient investment strategies [25][26]. Additionally, research
has explored combining multi-source data, graphical neural networks, and extended hidden Markov models to
improve the accuracy of stock market predictions. Fusion techniques, including information fusion, feature
fusion, and model fusion, have been investigated to improve prediction models [27][18][29]. Synthesis of
various advanced techniques such as deep learning, transfer learning, and combining heterogeneous data
sources can significantly contribute to the development of powerful models for predicting stock market
movements. By combining these methodologies and ensuring the quality of input data, researchers can
improve the accuracy and reliability of stock price predictions.

2.2 Data Processing

After the data is collected, the next step is data processing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the
information that will be used in building the deep learning model. A data normalization process will be applied
to overcome scale differences between variables, thereby ensuring better model convergence. Additionally,
outlier management will be performed to identify and handle extreme data that may impact model
performance. This data processing is a critical step to ensure clean and relevant data before entering the
model building stage.

2.3 Deep Learning Models

The next step in this research methodology is building and training an artificial neural network (ANN)
model. This process involves selecting an appropriate network architecture, which can include a deep neural
network, a recurrent neural network (RNN), or a combination of both, depending on the complexity and
dynamics of stock market movements. In addition, techniques such as transfer learning or fine-tuning are also
considered to utilize models that have been trained on the relevant data. The processed historical data is used
to train the model using a suitable learning algorithm. This iterative process involves optimizing the model's
weights and parameters to improve its predictive capabilities. The selection of relevant variables and features
is also an important consideration in model development to ensure the model can identify significant patterns
in the data [30][31][32]. Additionally, the application of deep learning approaches, including convolutional
neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), has shown potential in capturing complex
patterns in stock prices. Techniques such as Bayesian neural networks, fuzzy transfer learning, and clustering-
enhanced models have been explored to improve the accuracy of stock price predictions. Moreover, the
integration of advanced methodologies such as particle swarm optimization, adaptive algorithms, and hybrid
models has demonstrated high reliability and better predictive ability in predicting stock indices
[33][34][35][36][37][38][39].
Furthermore, studies have investigated the use of advanced neural network architectures such as Elman
networks, radial basis function neural networks (RBF NN), and brainstorm optimization algorithms in stock
price prediction models. The effectiveness of these models has been validated using real market data,
emphasizing the importance of a robust neural network structure in accurately predicting stock prices
[40][1][40][42][43][44][45][46]. The integration of deep learning techniques, recurrent neural networks,
transfer learning, and optimization algorithms in stock price prediction models show progress in utilizing
artificial intelligence for financial predictions. By combining these methodologies and ensuring the selection of
relevant features, researchers can.

2.4 Model Evaluation

Once the deep learning model is trained, the next step is to evaluate the model's performance. Metrics
such as accuracy, precision, and recall will be used to measure the extent to which the model can provide
accurate predictions. In addition, a comparison of the performance of deep learning models with traditional
methods of financial analysis such as linear regression or technical analysis will be carried out. This aims to
provide a comprehensive understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of deep learning models in
forecasting stock market movements. In this series of evaluations, statistical analyses such as hypothesis
testing can also be applied to measure the significance of performance differences between deep learning

Relevant references show that deep learning models, especially those based on deep reinforcement
learning, can be used as decision-making tools for market players and investors in designing their investment
strategies. Research by Vo et al. (2019) highlighted the use of deep reinforcement learning techniques to
periodically retrain neural networks and balance portfolios [46]. Additionally, research by Yu et al. (2022)
proposed a dynamic ensemble strategy for stock decision-making based on deep reinforcement learning, which
helps overcome the nonlinear, noisy, and unstable nature of the stock market [47]. Additionally, deep learning
models have been used in the context of investment decision-making. For example, research by Bai and Zhao
Bai & Zhao (2021) applies a venture capital scorecard using a machine learning approach to support startup
investment decisions [48]. Additionally, research by Martinez et al. (2020) showed that deep reinforcement
learning can be used for early adaptive classification of temporal sequences, where agents learn to make
adaptive decisions between classifying incomplete sequences now or delaying their predictions to collect more
data [49]. Thus, deep learning models, especially those based on deep reinforcement learning, make a
significant contribution to helping market players and investors optimize their investment strategies through
smarter and more adaptive decision-making.
Deep learning models, such as LSTM and CNN-LSTM, have shown significant effectiveness in predicting
stock market movements. These models have been found to outperform traditional methods in terms of
accuracy and prediction capabilities. Additionally, the use of deep learning algorithms like LSTM has been
compared with other models like RNN and GRU, showing superior performance in predicting stock prices Nilsen
(2022) [50]. Furthermore, the incorporation of deep learning techniques in financial analysis has provided a
holistic view of critical factors affecting financial performance, such as the impact of customs facilities on
export value and company financial performance [51]. By leveraging deep learning models, researchers and
analysts can gain valuable insights into stock market trends, make more informed investment decisions, and
enhance risk management strategies in the financial sector.
