Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMD S1	+2.54%	-0.13%	The entry leaned on a REPRICING verdict for what was actually pre-event speculation — a Jefferies preview of possible announcements, not a confirmed catalyst — yet the trade worked (+1.26%, max drawdown only -0.13%), so the outcome flatters a shaky rationale. That's closer to "anticipation/rumor" than "repricing," and treating analyst previews as repricing events will eventually get you run over when the event disappoints. Concrete fix: require REPRICING verdicts to cite a confirmed announcement or filing; route analyst-anticipated catalysts to a separate "event speculation" bucket with smaller size or a rule to exit before the event itself.
NVDA S3	+1.44%	-0.93%	Entry vs. outcome: The entry was a second-order bet — shorting NVDA on anticipated AMD announcements is speculation about a competitor's unconfirmed catalyst, and the outcome (+0.56%, with excursions of +1.44%/-0.93% roughly symmetric around zero) looks like noise rather than a genuine repricing. The trade "worked" but the P&L is indistinguishable from a coin flip; nothing in the price path validates the thesis. Improvement: Tighten the REPRICING verdict to require the catalyst be (a) about the traded ticker directly, or (b) a confirmed event, not analyst anticipation of disclosures. Alternatively, downgrade cross-ticker/pre-event speculation to a lower-conviction verdict with reduced size or no trade — "Jefferies anticipates AMD might announce" should never clear the bar for shorting NVDA.

📖 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.

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.
