Neither LSTM nor gradient boosting models achieve statistically significant out-of-sample accuracy above the 51.8% base rate for intraday MNQ directional prediction using 944 trading days of five-minute OHLCV data under walk-forward validation.
This is the most conservative test—it does not attempt to use intraday structure and instead relies on multi-day patterns in returns, gaps, and volatility

Sequential Structure in Intraday Futures Data: LSTM vs Gradient Boosting on MNQ
Neither LSTM nor gradient boosting models achieve statistically significant out-of-sample accuracy above the 51.8% base rate for intraday MNQ directional prediction using 944 trading days of five-minute OHLCV data under walk-forward validation.
