Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA S1 | +2.41% | -0.41% | Signal was right: the bullish repricing call played out, with the position never going more than -0.41% against entry. Timing cost some edge — NVDA was already +1.74% off the prior close at decision time and entry was 192.59 vs. a 190.01 close, so part of the move was consumed before the fill — but there was still real upside left. The dominant factor is the exit: the trade peaked at +2.41% unrealized but closed at roughly +1.25% (+$12), capturing only about half of the available move. |
