Date Range Guidelines
IMPORTANT: Choose --start dynamically based on today's date and the analysis goal. Do NOT hardcode dates from examples — calculate them relative to the current date.
| Analysis Goal | Recommended --start | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Recent quarterly financials | 2 years ago (e.g. today minus 2Y) | Captures ~8 quarters for trend analysis |
| Monthly revenue trend | 1 year ago | 12 months shows seasonal patterns |
| Dividend history | 5 years ago | Enough to assess dividend growth stability |
| PER/PBR valuation | 3 months ago with --limit 30 |
Recent trading days for current valuation |
| Stock price | 1-3 months ago with --limit 20 |
Recent price action |
| Full fundamental deep-dive | 3 years ago | Comprehensive multi-year trend |
Example: if today is 2026-04-06, use --start 2024-04-06 for 2-year income analysis, not a fixed date.
