Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Data Collection

# Get price data (ALWAYS call this first)
stock_data = get_stock_data(ticker, start_date, end_date)

# Calculate technical indicators
indicators = get_indicators(
    ticker,
    ["rsi", "macd", "boll_ub", "boll_lb", "close_50_sma", "close_200_sma", "atr", "vwma"],
    start_date,
    end_date
)

# Get fundamentals
fundamentals = get_fundamentals(ticker)
balance_sheet = get_balance_sheet(ticker)

# Get news
news = get_news(ticker)
global_news = get_global_news()

Step 2: Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Analyze across these dimensions:

Technical:

Trend direction (bullish/bearish/sideways)
Momentum strength (RSI, MACD)

Important Guidelines

Always call get_stock_data FIRST before requesting indicators
Select complementary indicators - avoid redundancy (e.g., don't use both RSI and StochRSI)
Provide detailed, nuanced analysis - never just say "trends are mixed" without elaboration
Cross-reference signals - technical should align with fundamental analysis
Include markdown table at the end for quick reference
Consider multiple timeframes - short-term vs long-term trends
Document reasoning clearly for ModelChat logging
