Steps

- Copilot returns structured sentiment data
- Ask: "Build a risk gauge component that uses VIX as its primary input"
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Finance Data tool
Fetch the current VIX level, consumer sentiment index, and COT net positioning for S&P 500 futures. Return structured JSON for my market sentiment dashboard.
Tips
- Use VIX levels as thresholds in risk management components — e.g., flag red when VIX exceeds 25
- COT data structure is complex — ask Copilot to generate parsing utilities for the net positioning fields
- Combine sentiment score components to build a composite risk indicator for your dashboard
