Abstract: Modeling and forecasting stock prices have been important financial research topics in academia. This study seeks to determine whether improvements can be achieved by forecasting a stock index using a hybrid model and incorporating financial variables. We extend the literature on stock market forecasting by applying a hybrid model that combines wavelet transform (WT), long short-term memory (LSTM), and an adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) based on individual ranking to predict stock indices for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index of the New York Stock Exchange, Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) index, Nikkei 225 index of Tokyo, Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong market, CSI300 index of Chinese mainland stock market, and NIFTY50 index of India. The results indicate an overall improvement in forecasting of the stock index using the AGA-LSTM model compared to the benchmark models. The evaluation indicators prove that this model has a higher prediction accuracy when forecasting six stock indices.
