AI PROMPTS

1. 🔍 "Narrative Detection" Prompt

Purpose: Filter out the signal from the noise.

"What narrative is currently being pushed about [STOCK or SECTOR] in the media and on social platforms? Contrast this with institutional behavior and fundamentals. Is there a disconnect? Who stands to benefit from the current narrative?"

2. 🗂️ “If-Then Portfolio Playbook” Prompt

Purpose: Build conditional logic into your investing strategy.

"Given the following macro scenario — [e.g., falling interest rates + weak job growth + low oil prices] — which sectors and asset classes historically perform best? What portfolio adjustments should an investor consider under this scenario?"

3. ⚖️ “Asymmetric Investment Filter” Prompt

Purpose: Find investments with high upside, limited downside.

"Identify asymmetric opportunities in the market today — setups where the upside potential significantly outweighs the downside risk. Prioritize based on smart money positioning, strong fundamentals, or structural tailwinds."
