ChartsPod AI Prompts: Ask for Invalidation, Not a Buy-or-Sell Verdict

'Should I buy?' invites a verdict the model cannot justify. 'What would prove this idea wrong?' produces something you can test.

Short answer

Prompt ChartsPod's AI agent for invalidation rather than buy-or-sell verdicts: ask it to state your thesis back, list the data that supports and contradicts it, define the specific price or condition that invalidates it, and identify what to monitor. This keeps the decision with you, produces testable conditions, and uses the agent's strength (fetching and organising data) rather than asking it to predict. The agent does not place trades.

Example output to look for

Illustrative: 'Supporting: footprint shows 1,200 SOL of aggressive selling absorbed at 140–141 (tool: footprint); OI +3% in coins. Contradicting: funding rising to +0.02% per 8h suggests crowding; spot CVD flat. Invalidation: 1h close below 138.5. Monitor: OI and funding over the next 4h; a funding spike with stalling price weakens the thesis.'
