    start_date,
    end_date
)

# Get fundamentals
fundamentals = get_fundamentals(ticker)
balance_sheet = get_balance_sheet(ticker)

# Get news
news = get_news(ticker)
global_news = get_global_news()

Step 2: Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Analyze across these dimensions:

Technical:

Important Guidelines

•Always call get_stock_data FIRST before requesting indicators
•Select complementary indicators - avoid redundancy (e.g., don't use both RSI and StochRSI)
•Provide detailed, nuanced analysis - never just say "trends are mixed" without elaboration
•Cross-reference signals - technical should align with fundamental analysis
•Include markdown table at the end for quick reference
•Consider multiple timeframes - short-term vs long-term trends
•Document reasoning clearly for ModelChat logging
