Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSM S1	+0.45%	-0.86%	Signal: Wrong over the holding window — the bullish repricing never materialized; the stock managed only +0.45% at best and spent more time underwater (worst -0.86%). Whether the thesis was right on a longer horizon isn't settled by this data. Timing: Entry chased a move already underway (+1.11% from prior close, +1.16% in the last 30m), buying at 407.11 after the pop from 403.31 — so what little upside existed was partly consumed before the fill. Exit: The -0.45% realized loss sits between the best (+0.45%) and worst (-0.86%) unrealized, so the exit gave back the small available gain but also avoided the full drawdown — roughly a mid-range outcome. Dominant factor: the signal simply didn't fire in the window, compounded by entering after the initial move.

📖 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.
