Best Practices
1. Time Your Queries
- Pre-market: Catch overnight sentiment
- Market open: Capture opening reaction
- After hours: Earnings reactions
2. Combine Data Sources
# Best signal = sentiment + price + volume
x_sentiment = get_stock_sentiment(ticker)
price_data = finnhub.get_quote(ticker)
fundamentals = fmp.get_financials(ticker)
3. Filter for Quality
Focus on verified accounts and high-follower influencers.
4. Watch for Manipulation
- Sudden coordinated pumps
- Bot-like patterns
- Unrealistic claims
