Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| META S1 | +0.46% | -0.30% | Signal: right. The bearish call played out — META fell from 593.22 to 591.20, and entry conditions (+0.06% since prev close) show the move had not already occurred, so timing was fresh as claimed. Exit: forced, but adequate. The trade was closed early by an administrative netting against an opposing long decision, not by the strategy itself; the +$2.02 (~+0.34%) captured most of the +0.46% best unrealized (~$2.73 available), leaving modest money on the table. Dominant factor: correct signal with a non-strategy exit — the position was closed by portfolio netting, so the exit quality here reflects luck of timing rather than a deliberate take-profit; the data can't tell us whether holding longer would have improved or worsened the result. |
📖 Glossary
- S1 primary — trades the alert's primary ticker in the direction the article itself indicates; exits at the same day's close.
- S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.
- S3 peer — trades an inferred peer ticker (also LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same day's close.
- S4 overnight — holds the primary ticker from today's close to the NEXT day's close.
- Verdicts are decided top-to-bottom, first match wins; REPRICING is also the fallback when nothing else matches (2026-08-08 #220).
- UNKNOWN — a needed price input (move since close or move in the last 30m) is missing.
- PRICED — |move since previous close| ≥ 2.0%: already reflected in price.
- REPRICING — |move in the last 30m| ≥ 0.5%: the tape is actively moving on it. Also covers a quieter move — |move since previous close| in [1.0, 2.0) with a quiet last-30m tape: still developing, not yet priced.
- FRESH — |move since previous close| < 1.0%: a genuinely new move.
- materiality — how market-moving the story was judged, 0-100 — alerts require materiality ≥ 60.
