Currency Predictor

My Approach

1. Data Collection

  • Source Forex Data: I will use one of the free Forex APIs mentioned earlier (like Alpha Vantage, CurrencyLayer, or Free Forex API) to collect real-time and historical currency exchange rate data.
  • Additional Data: I’ll consider integrating other data sources like economic indicators (e.g., interest rates, inflation data), news feeds (using APIs like NewsAPI), and social sentiment (from Twitter API).

2. Data Processing

  • Stream Data to Kafka: I’ll set up a Kafka pipeline to stream live Forex data into my system, ensuring that the data is continuously updated.
  • Data Storage: I’ll use a database like PostgreSQL or a time-series database like InfluxDB to store historical data for analysis.

3. AI Model Development

  • Feature Engineering: I’ll extract useful features from the data, such as currency pair volatility, moving averages, or sentiment scores.
  • Model Selection: I plan to use machine learning models like Random Forests, Gradient Boosting, or LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) networks for predicting currency price trends.
  • Training the Model: I’ll use historical data to train my AI models to predict future currency movements, possibly using platforms like Azure Machine Learning or TensorFlow.
  • Model Evaluation: I’ll regularly evaluate the model’s performance using metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall.

4. AI-Powered Suggestions

  • Decision Logic: Based on the model’s predictions, I’ll develop logic that suggests which currency to buy. This could be as simple as recommending currencies predicted to appreciate or a more complex strategy considering multiple factors.
  • User Input: I’ll allow users to input preferences or constraints (e.g., risk tolerance, preferred currency pairs).

5. Dashboard Development

  • Visualization: I’ll use tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Grafana to create interactive visualizations of Forex trends, AI predictions, and suggested trades.
  • Integration: I’ll integrate the AI model’s output into the dashboard to provide real-time trading recommendations.
  • User Interface: I’ll ensure the dashboard is user-friendly, displaying key metrics like predicted price changes, confidence levels, and suggested trades clearly.

6. Deployment

  • Web Hosting: I’ll host the dashboard on a cloud platform like Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.
  • Monitoring: I’ll implement monitoring for both the data pipeline and AI models to ensure everything runs smoothly and the predictions remain accurate.

7. Continuous Improvement

  • Feedback Loop: I’ll collect user feedback and actual market outcomes to continuously improve the AI model.
  • Model Retraining: I’ll regularly retrain the model with new data to keep it up-to-date with the latest market conditions.

In short: I’ll be streaming real-time Forex data, processing it with AI to predict currency movements, and presenting these insights in a user-friendly dashboard that suggests which currencies to buy based on the model’s predictions.
