Best Practices

1. Request Confidence Scores

Always ask for confidence levels to gauge reliability.

2. Specify Sample Size

Request the number of posts analyzed for context.

3. Account for Sarcasm

Grok may misinterpret sarcasm - request explicit sarcasm detection:

"Note: Flag any potentially sarcastic posts separately"

4. Filter by Quality

Combine with handle filtering for higher-quality signals:

"Focus on verified accounts and accounts with >10k followers"

5. Combine with Price Data

Sentiment is most valuable when combined with price action.

Limitations

Limitation Mitigation
Sarcasm detection Request explicit flagging
Bot content Ask to filter suspicious patterns
Historical accuracy Focus on recent data
Sample size Request volume metrics
