overnight drift: long AMZN at close, exit next close (m&a: Amazon is acquiring Globalstar to launch a low Earth orbit satellite network, with a planned partnership to integrate these services into Apple devices.)
Signal: Right — the long call on the M&A news paid off, with the stock rallying +3.72% from entry to exit. Timing: The move had not already happened; entry at 226.86 was actually ~1.7% below the prior close (230.86), so the position got in ahead of the drift, not chasing it. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured about two-thirds of the available move (+3.72% realized vs. +5.68% peak unrealized, with minimal -1.04% drawdown) — good but not full capture. The dominant factor is a correct signal with favorable entry; the only shortfall was the exit leaving roughly 2% of unrealized gain on the table, which is inherent to the fixed exit rule rather than a directional error.

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.
