What the Data for This Category Looks Like
The Minor Metals Financing Daily Report draws data from three primary sources: daily industry statistics released by the domestic nonferrous metals industry association, trading data for minor metals contracts listed on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, and daily industry financing tracking reports from securities firms. Data aggregation for the current trading day is completed within one hour after market close. Each daily report is organized by product category, and includes the following fields: product name, daily financing purchase amount, financing balance, month-over-month change, spot transaction price, futures settlement price, and warehouse stock inventory. Financing-related values use ten thousand yuan as their unit. Price-related values use yuan/kilogram or yuan/ton. Warehouse stock quantities use tons as their unit.
Constraints for Multi-turn Dialogue and Prompt Engineering
Minor metal varieties are highly segmented and numerous. Multi-turn dialogue must clearly define the currently tracked product range to avoid mixing data across different varieties. Data is updated daily and has strict timeliness requirements. Multi-turn dialogue contexts must automatically filter non-current-day data older than 24 hours to ensure responses use the latest aggregated information. Fields and units vary across data types. Prompt engineering must enforce that responses include corresponding units. During multi-turn follow-up questions, the unit rules for the current product must be automatically associated to avoid mixing units. Financing, spot, and futures data must be displayed in a linked manner. Multi-turn dialogue must track the user's product switching context to maintain logical consistency in the conversation.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 12000–15000 characters | A single minor metals financing daily report is approximately 3000 characters. Retain 3-4 rounds of dialogue context to avoid data truncation |
recall_top_k | Top 6–8 entries | Minor metal varieties are highly segmented. Retrieve enough detailed data while filtering redundant information |
prompt_template | Fixed to include "Only use data from the current day's minor metals financing daily report, include corresponding units, and organize responses by product category" | Enforce use of the latest data, standardize unit labeling and formatting, and avoid mixing cross-product information |
data_refresh_interval | Every 86400 seconds (1 day) | Financing daily reports are updated daily. Less frequent refreshing saves resources |
answer_citation_switch | Enabled | Clearly label data sources to meet general requirements for industry data disclosure |
quick_reply_button | Configure preset questions such as "View today's antimony ingot financing data" and "Molybdenum iron warehouse stock changes" | Cover high-frequency query scenarios and help users quickly initiate conversations |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Analyze specific cases individually, and recommend testing against your own samples before finalizing.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Symptom: Automatic citation labels are added at the end of responses, and "No permission to operate this conversation record" appears in some scenarios. Cause: The
answer_citation_switchparameter is not configured correctly, and permission verification prompts for citation sources are not disabled. - Symptom: Financing data for different minor metal varieties is frequently mixed during multi-turn dialogue. Cause: The current tracked product range is not limited in the
prompt_template, and context product tracking configuration is not enabled. - Symptom: Dialogue responses time out or return incomplete data. Cause: The
maxContextconfiguration is too small, causing multi-turn dialogue context to exceed the window, or thedata_refresh_intervalconfiguration is incorrect, leading to loading expired data.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Initiate a query for financing data for a specific minor metal product, and verify that the response includes the corresponding unit and only uses current day's data.
- Switch to a different minor metal product and initiate a query, and verify that the dialogue context correctly tracks the current product and does not mix historical data.
- Check the citation label at the end of the response, and confirm that it matches the configured enabled/disabled state.
- Click the quick reply button in the conversation opening, and verify that preset query questions can be sent directly.
