Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S1	+1.36%	-0.17%	Signal: Correct — bullish call, and the stock rose ~0.92% from entry to exit with minimal adverse excursion (-0.17%). Timing: Partially late — price was already +0.93% off the prior close at decision time, so some of the news reaction was in the price by entry; whether the news itself was genuinely fresh can't be verified from this data. Exit: Good capture — +0.92% realized against a best unrealized of +1.36%, roughly two-thirds of the available move, with almost no drawdown endured. Dominant factor: The signal was right and the exit was competent; the main leakage was the ~0.9% pre-entry move already priced in before the fill.

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same 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.
