| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AAPL S1 | +2.59% | +0.12% | The entry thesis (regulatory clearance + China shipment growth) was directionally correct and the trade closed +2.3%, but the "REPRICING" verdict didn't actually correspond to a repricing event—price only ever dipped 0.12% before grinding steadily higher, meaning the news was likely already partially priced in rather than triggering a sharp re-rating. Tighten the REPRICING verdict threshold to require a minimum intraday volatility or gap-on-news criterion (e.g., >1% move within the first hour of the catalyst) so the label reflects an actual repricing event rather than a slow drift, which would improve signal precision and avoid overclassifying gradual trends as repricings. |
| AAPL S4 | +1.98% | -0.50% | The trade worked, but the "rationale" is doing zero real work here—an overnight drift strategy doesn't need a China regulatory catalyst to justify a mechanical buy-close/sell-close rule, and the entry showed a -0.50% drawdown intraday that had nothing to do with the news thesis. Improvement: strip the news rationale out of mechanical drift trades entirely (or backtest it separately as a discretionary overlay), and add a hard stop-loss threshold (e.g., -1%) to the verdict logic so the "worst unrealized" stat isn't just cosmetic—right now nothing in the entry rule actually protects against the drawdown you got lucky avoiding. |
