Copy-paste AI prompts for the deal desk, the trading floor, and the buy side. Thursday, October 8, 2026 · For Investment Banking · Sales & Trading · Investment Management |
Most desks get generic filler out of AI because the ask is vague — not because the model can’t do the work. Today’s prompt is built for your desk: paste it into your own LLM and run it on live work. Pro members get all five sections below, every issue. One ready-to-run prompt a day for the exact work you do — banking, trading, buy-side research, modeling, and decks. Paste into your own LLM. No news, no fluff. |
Today’s rotating section — Sales & Trading |
SECTION 2 - SALES & TRADING Sales & Trading For: S&T desk (color / flow / risk) + client-facing sales Event / catalyst calendar + scenario tree You want to map the upcoming catalysts for a name and how price might react to each outcome. Copy & paste into your own LLM You are a trader mapping catalysts for [TICKER / theme]. I will give the known events (earnings, data, product, regulatory, macro). Produce:
1. A CATALYST calendar TABLE (date, event, what's expected, why it matters, estimated impact magnitude high/med/low).
2. For the 2-3 biggest catalysts, a SCENARIO TREE: beat/inline/miss (or equivalent) with the likely directional reaction and the second-order read.
3. The single event with the most asymmetric setup and why.
4. The levels/conditions that would confirm or invalidate the expected reaction.
Use only events I provide; do not invent a date or a consensus number.
Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data. Why it works: Trading reactions are about mapped scenarios, not point forecasts; a catalyst calendar plus a beat/inline/miss tree forces you to pre-decide reactions and spot the asymmetric event before it hits. |
