AI Crypto Screener Research: What the Assistant Should Say When Data Is Missing
A screener answer covers many symbols, and some will have missing values. The assistant should say how many and how it treated them.
Short answer
When screener data is missing — indicators without enough history, symbols that failed to load, venues not covered — a good assistant reports how many symbols were excluded and why, whether blanks passed or failed conditions, and the universe actually screened. A list of matches without that information may be missing the best candidates or include artefacts.
Where the data usually runs out
| Missing piece | Why it happens | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Indicator values | Insufficient history | New listings excluded or distorted |
| Symbol data | Load failures | Silent exclusions |
| Venue coverage | Not all venues | Partial universe |
| Snapshot | Mixed times | Inconsistent rows |
What a good answer says
Examples of the wording to expect when screener data is missing:
'Of 140 symbols, 12 lacked 200 bars of history and were excluded from the MA condition.'
'3 symbols failed to load; the list may be incomplete.'
'Blanks were treated as not matching.'
Overconfident vs honest
- Reports matches without exclusions
- Treats blanks as matches
- Doesn't state the universe
- Mixes snapshot times silently
Illustrative: the AI listed 9 matches but silently skipped 15 symbols. Two of the skipped symbols met the conditions once their data loaded.
