Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MU S1 | +1.99% | -2.51% | The entry logic chased a "REPRICING" headline that was really just corporate PR (a long-term 2035 capex plan and construction milestone) with no near-term earnings or demand catalyst, yet the trade still worked out net positive despite a -2.51% drawdown that dwarfed the eventual +0.76% gain—meaning the strategy got lucky on exit timing, not right on thesis. Tighten the verdict threshold so "REPRICING" requires a quantifiable near-term catalyst (guidance change, contract with immediate revenue impact, analyst estimate revision) rather than multi-year capex headlines, and add a hard stop near -1.5% to cut losers before they eat into these thin, low-conviction gains. |
| NVDA S3 | +1.78% | -1.23% | The entry rationale leaned on a Micron capex/supply-chain headline as a proxy catalyst for NVDA — a second-order, sentiment-based link rather than a direct NVDA fundamental or price-action trigger, yet the trade still worked out (+1.78% best, closed +1.77%). That's more luck than edge: the "REPRICING" verdict fired on news that doesn't actually reprice NVDA's own fundamentals, and the -1.23% drawdown shows the entry had no real confirmation before committing. Tighten the verdict threshold to require the news catalyst be about the traded ticker (or its direct suppliers/customers with quantified revenue linkage) plus a minimum intraday momentum/volume confirmation before triggering a buy, rather than trading a correlated ticker off an indirect headline. |
| MU S4 | +0.21% | -7.09% | The entry rationale leaned entirely on a stale, already-priced-in bullish news narrative (long-term 2035 capex plans, a fab groundbreaking) rather than any actual overnight momentum or volume signal, and the trade immediately went against you, drawing down to -7% with barely a flicker of green (+0.21% best) before you ate a -5.7% exit. This is a case of "buy the headline, ignore the tape" — the strategy had no stop-loss or invalidation check to cut losses once price moved decisively against the thesis within the first hour. Concrete fix: add a hard intraday stop (e.g., -2% from entry) and require the news catalyst to be same-day/material (not a multi-year capex roadmap) before triggering an overnight drift entry. |
📖 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.
