Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVGO S1 | +0.38% | -1.48% | Retro note: The entry treated a supplier's $400M capex announcement as a repricing catalyst for AVGO, but this is Powertech's investment, not Broadcom's — it's second-order news with no direct earnings impact on a ~$800B mega-cap, and the price action confirmed it (max upside only +0.38% before drifting to a -0.87% loss). The "REPRICING" verdict was too generous for partner/supplier headlines where the traded ticker isn't the party committing capital. Improvement: Add a materiality filter to the verdict logic — require the news to involve the traded company's own capital, guidance, or revenue (or a deal size above some threshold relative to market cap, e.g., >0.5%) before REPRICING is allowed; otherwise downgrade to NOISE/no-trade. |
📖 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.
