Transaction Volume Estimation in Financial Markets With Lstm

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the transaction volume that will be encountered in the future (hourly) in the factoring sector, and then to take financial and operational action early. For the study, the LSTM model, which is a kind of recurrent neural network (RNN) that can capture long and short-term dependencies, was applied by using data-driven approaches to estimate the check amounts of hourly transactions. As a result of the results, it was aimed to increase the operational efficiency in a broad scope by allowing the factoring company to determine the loan amounts to be obtained from banks in the most optimal way, and then to take early action within the scope of both the workforce and business management of the financial resource allocation management process and operational activities. MAPE score was used as a measure of error in the time series analysis model. MAPE scores were found as %5.05 for 30 days, %4.18 for 10 days, %3.47 for 5 days, %3.09 for 3 days and %1.83 for 1 day. According to the MAPE scores calculated for different days, the enterprise will be able to decide on the loan to be drawn from banks both in terms of time and amount, and the necessary action will be taken.
