<p>Financial news disclosures provide valuable information for traders and investors while making stock market investment decisions. Essential but challenging, the stock market prediction problem has attracted significant attention from both researchers and practitioners. Conventional machine learning models often fail to interpret the content of financial news due to the complexity and ambiguity of natural language used in the news. Inspired by the success of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) in sequential data processing, we propose an ensemble RNN approach (long short-term memory, gated recurrent unit, and SimpleRNN) to predict stock market movements. To avoid extracting tens of thousands of features using traditional natural language processing methods, we apply sentiment analysis and the sliding window method to extract only the most representative features. Our experimental results confirm the effectiveness of these two methods for feature extraction and show that the proposed ensemble approach is able to outperform other models under comparison.</p>
