Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCI S4 | +6.94% | -0.71% | Entry vs. outcome: The rationale is thin — "denial of a fake report" is a relief catalyst, not a drift edge, yet the trade worked (+6.9% peak, -0.7% max drawdown, exited +6.9%), so the outcome flatters a low-conviction thesis. The near-zero adverse excursion suggests the move happened fast and the overnight-drift framing was mostly luck dressed as process. Improvement: Require the entry rule to classify the catalyst type — rumor-denial/relief bounces should need a confirming filter (e.g., stock still down >X% from pre-rumor level, or above-average close-hour volume) before qualifying as an "overnight drift" trade, otherwise tag it as event-driven with a tighter exit. Also consider a trailing exit rule: with +6.9% unrealized, a fixed next-close exit only worked here by coincidence; capturing 80% of peak MFE would be more robust than a time stop. |
📖 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.
