Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA S1 | +0.15% | -1.68% | Comparison: The entry treated a partnership headline as "FRESH" tradeable news, but partnership announcements with no revenue quantification are classic buy-the-rumor fodder — NVDA barely ticked up (+0.15% max) before drifting down, suggesting the news was already priced in or simply immaterial to a $5T market cap. The outcome (-1.68% max drawdown, exited near the low) shows there was never real momentum behind the signal. Improvement: Require partnership/collaboration headlines to include a quantified financial commitment (e.g., disclosed deal size or explicit revenue guidance) before qualifying as FRESH, or downgrade unquantified partnerships to a lower-conviction verdict that demands confirming price action (e.g., stock up >0.5% on the news before 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.
