Here we'll get past forex data and apply a model to predict if the market will close red or green in the following timestamps.
I want to credit @hayatoy with the project ml-forex-prediction under the MIT License. I was inspired to use a Gradient Boosting Classifier by this project, which was implemented using Python 2 and Yahoo Finance.
