Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) All Stocks Prices 2013-2020

This compilation consists of historical data of the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), the stock exchange market of Kenya. The data is raw daily trade data and is of value to any machine learning algorithm that requires training and testing data. An earlier dataset (2007-2012) was initially compiled as part of a research project to predict next day stock price prediction, based on the previous five days by use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The research [1],[2] tested 6 stocks [3] using an ANN of configuration 5:21:21:1. However, the whole of 2007-2012 dataset of all NSE stocks is also available [4]. Since then, the NSE has continued to operate and still generates new data daily. This has necessitated compilation of new data. This new NSE 2013 to 2020 (upto June 30) data was once again scrapped from public website [5] of company, licensed by NSE. The processing involved - raw data export to spreadsheets then removal of unnecessary data elements. Each stock data row has the following 13 data columns (1) Date (2) Stock Code (3) Stock Name (4) 12-month Low price (5) 12-month High price (6) Day's Low price (7) Day's High price (8) Day's Final Price (9) Previous traded price (10) Change in price value (11) Change in price % (12) Volume traded (13) Adjusted price. The original data also had a column on the price direction (arrow graphic), but this column was dropped from this final compilation. Two additional CSV files (2013 and 2020) are introduced to show market sectors that each stock belongs. The column headings are: (1) Market sector (2) Stock Code (3) Stock Name. This new dataset gives researchers a larger dataset (2007-2020), bigger pool of stocks and indices (64), market sector data and many other data attributes, over and above the test cases that were presented in the earlier research.
