The stock market which is a particular type of financial market, has attracted nowadays the attention of financial analysts and investors, as it is recognized one of the most challenging and unpredictable market. Recently, this kind of market is well known by its extreme volatility and instability due to the health (COVID-19), the geopolitical (the Russian, Ukraine, European, and American conflict), and the economic crises. This situation intensified the uncertainty and fear of investors; they need an intelligent and stable decision support system to assist them to foresee the future variations of stock prices. To address this issue, our paper proposes a hybrid ensemble-learning model that integrates different methods. (1) The Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) is used to eliminate the noise from financial data. (2) The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is applied to handle the task of automatic feature extraction. (3) Three machine-learning predictors (Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Extra Trees (ET)) are merged together and optimized using the Halving Grid Search (HGS) algorithm to obtain collective final predictions. To verify the validity of the proposed model, two major indices of Chinese and American stock markets, namely SSE and NASDAQ, were used. The proposed model is evaluated using RMSE, MAE, MAPE and CPU time metrics. Based on experiments, it is proven that the achieved results are better than other comparative prediction models used for benchmarking.
