Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
NVDA S1+4.53%-0.05%

Signal: Right — the bullish call played out, with the trade going up +4.53% at peak and essentially never underwater (worst -0.05%). Whether the open-source-advocacy news was the actual driver can't be verified from this data.

Timing: Good — entry at 199.62 was below the prior close (200.75), so the move had not already happened; the near-zero worst unrealized confirms entry was close to the local bottom.

Exit: Captured most of what was available — realized +3.32% (+$33.15) versus a best unrealized of +4.53%, leaving roughly a quarter of the peak move on the table. Dominant factor: a correct signal with clean timing; the exit was the only modest leak.

📖 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.
