Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMZN S1 | +0.34% | -0.71% | Comparison: The entry treated a multi-company partnership headline as an AMZN-specific bullish catalyst, but the news named five vendors — Amazon's share of the upside was diluted and largely priced in, and the trade never got more than +0.34% before drifting to a -0.32% loss. The "FRESH" verdict rewarded recency, not specificity or materiality to the ticker actually bought. Improvement: Add a specificity filter to the entry rule: only trade a ticker if it's the primary subject of the catalyst (or the sole named counterparty), not one of several beneficiaries — e.g., require the company to appear in the headline's first clause or be the only vendor mentioned. Alternatively, downgrade multi-beneficiary partnership news from FRESH to WATCH unless dollar figures attributable to the specific ticker are disclosed. |
| AVGO S2 | +1.70% | -0.19% | Entry vs. outcome: The rationale treated a broad, multi-company partnership headline (SpaceX, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Broadcom all named) as a bullish repricing catalyst for AVGO specifically — but news that diffuse is rarely a repricing event for any single ticker, and the outcome confirms it: a near-flat +0.45% grind with almost no downside because there was almost no signal either way. You also let a +1.70% peak decay to +0.45%, so even the modest edge was mostly given back. Improvement: Tighten the REPRICING verdict to require the catalyst be company-specific and quantifiable (e.g., a disclosed order size, capacity figure, or revenue guidance tied to the traded ticker); if the headline names 4+ companies, downgrade to NOISE or require confirmation before entry. Alternatively, if you keep loose entries, add a trailing take-profit so a +1.7% peak doesn't round-trip to nothing. |
| AMZN S4 | +2.09% | -2.03% | Entry vs. outcome: The rationale was thin — a multi-company partnership headline where Amazon is one of five names mentioned is barely AMZN-specific catalyst, and the ±2% intraday swing against a +0.9% final gain shows the trade was essentially a coin flip that landed well, not a validated edge. Improvement: Tighten the entry rule to require the ticker be the primary subject of the catalyst (e.g., named in headline, or sole/lead counterparty), not one entry in a list; alternatively, require an estimated materiality check (deal size vs. market cap) before a "partnership" tag qualifies as a buy signal. Right now the rule would fire on any press release that name-drops a mega-cap, which is noise, not drift. |
📖 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.
