Predict Volume using MLTK

Hi All,

I am new to Machine Learning Toolkit. I have a use case to implement to predict volume of sales depending on days of weeks/ hourly/towards end or beginning of months and on special holidays days.  Apart from predicting the volume of sales, I would also like to generate thresholds as upper bound and lower bound and alert when crossing the upper bound or lower bound

Which of the ML algorithm is best suitable for this kind of use case?

Raw date:
A lookup storing the sales in every 30mins in last one year.

Use percentiles/standard deviation to generate the thresholds and check how the predicted values compare to the upper/lower thresholds. it should be possible to do it within the ML query.
