Global stock markets and semiconductor shares declined due to concerns over the sustainability of AI demand and the release of a new Chinese AI model, while Netflix fell on missed revenue expectations.
verdict FRESH, direction bearish -> sell AAPL (other: Global stock markets and semiconductor shares declined due to concerns over the sustainability of AI demand and the release of a new Chinese AI model, while Netflix fell on missed revenue expectations.)
overnight drift: sell TSM at close, exit next close (other: Global stock markets and semiconductor shares declined due to concerns over the sustainability of AI demand and the release of a new Chinese AI model, while Netflix fell on missed revenue expectations.) [skipped at close: duplicate — already holding S4 sell TSM exiting 2026-07-20]
Entry vs. outcome: The rationale was pure macro/sector contagion (AI demand fears, Chinese AI model, Netflix earnings) with zero AAPL-specific catalyst, and the trade behaved accordingly — it never worked, topping out at +0.05% unrealized before grinding to a -1.17% drawdown and a loss. Shorting a mega-cap on second-hand sentiment about semis and a different company's earnings is a weak edge.
Improvement: Tighten the FRESH verdict to require at least one catalyst directly naming the traded ticker (news, guidance, downgrade), or downgrade broad-market/sector-sympathy signals to a lower-conviction tier that either skips the trade or halves position size.
📖 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.
