Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
AAPL S1+1.09%-0.52%

Entry vs. outcome: The rationale was a broad narrative ("AI monetization shift," market-cap milestone) — that's a lagging, already-priced-in story, not a repricing catalyst, and the trade behaved accordingly: it chopped in a ±1% band and exited for a trivial +0.9% (+$9), essentially noise rather than confirmation of the thesis.

Improvement: Tighten the REPRICING verdict to require a specific, dated catalyst (earnings, guidance change, product event) rather than milestone/headline narratives; alternatively, add a minimum expected-move threshold (e.g., only take REPRICING trades where the thesis implies ≥3% move) so you're not deploying capital on trades whose realized range was never going to exceed slippage-level gains.

📖 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.
