Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
SMCI S1	+3.35%	-0.16%	Entry vs. outcome: The REPRICING verdict was arguably too strong for a partnership with a 2027 completion date — that's a long-dated catalyst with no near-term earnings impact, so the pop was always likely to fade. The trade actually validated the direction briefly (+3.35% unrealized) but the exit logic captured none of it, round-tripping to breakeven. Improvement: Either (a) downgrade multi-year-horizon partnership announcements from REPRICING to a weaker verdict unless there's a quantified revenue/backlog figure attached, or (b) if you keep the entry, add a mechanical partial take-profit or trailing stop (e.g., bank half at +2.5%) since news-pop trades like this predictably mean-revert — leaving +3.35% MFE on the table to exit flat is an exit-rule failure as much as an entry-rule one.
SMCI S4	+1.89%	-2.24%	Entry vs. outcome: The rationale bet on overnight drift from a splashy but vague partnership headline (gigawatt-scale, 2027 completion — no revenue, no timeline that matters), and the market agreed it was hype: the stock never got more than +1.9% ahead and closed down -2.1%. News this speculative and far-dated is typically fully priced in by the close you're buying at, so you were holding pure overnight noise with no edge. Improvement: Add a materiality filter to the entry rule — only take the overnight-drift trade if the catalyst has a quantifiable near-term financial impact (signed contract with dollar value, delivery within ~12 months) and the stock closed up on above-average volume that day, confirming the market is actually treating it as news rather than a press release.

📖 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.

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.
