Abstract
A significant challenge to invest in the stock market is to make complex decisions and evaluate different scenarios and trends in financial reports. An alternative capable of attending these needs is the use of algorithms for trading. This strategy may involve the use of artificial intelligence approaches to make effective decisions. Hence, this paper proposes the development of a solution to support decision making in the purchase and sale of stocks from the application of machine learning techniques. For this purpose, the performance of a recurrent neural network architecture, also known as long short-term memory (LSTM), was evaluated concerning its efficiency in the short-term prediction. The generated models were evaluated based on the root-mean-square error and mean absolute percentage error metrics. Results show the LSTM algorithm was capable of predicting stock prices with a low error approximately.
