Evaluating sentiment sources requires comparing scale against domain-specificity. Don't assume one approach inherently dominates. 🧐

A quantitative edge isn't just about reporting gross sentiment accuracy. A robust evaluation needs building an actual long-short trading strategy from the scores and evaluating the resulting returns net of stated transaction costs.

To test this rigorously:
• Include a genuine prior-generation baseline (like the Loughran-McDonald dictionary).
• Test alongside modern LLMs (like OPT, BERT, and FinBERT). 🧠

While a large dataset is needed to reduce sample risk, treat any reported performance figure, like a high Sharpe ratio, only as a single historical result awaiting independent replication. The methodology is the core value here.

The real value is in the methodology: pricing in transaction costs and comparing diverse model architectures. 🛠️

We manage the complexity of running these diverse model comparisons and cost integrations within our non-custodial automation framework. This lets you focus on refining your signal generation logic.
