Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S1	+1.34%	-0.32%	Signal: right. The bullish repricing call played out — price rose from 307.50 to 311.42 (+1.27%), and the pre-entry dip (-0.80% since prior close) means the move had not already happened; entry actually caught the stock below the prior close, so timing was favorable rather than chasing. Exit: near-optimal. The +1.27% realized gain captured almost all of the +1.34% best unrealized, with only -0.32% adverse excursion along the way. Dominant factor: correct directional signal, cleanly executed — this trade worked on all three dimensions, with nothing in the data suggesting luck vs. thesis (the supply-chain news causality can't be verified from price data alone).
AVGO S2	+0.87%	-0.45%	Signal: marginally right — price drifted up and the trade closed green, though the +0.09% move is too small to strongly confirm the bullish repricing thesis. Timing: the stock had already run +1.60% in the prior 30 minutes, so entry chased a move partly in progress (entry 420.4 vs prev close 418.16). Exit: this is the dominant factor — the position saw +0.87% unrealized (~+7.30 USD) but exited at +0.78 USD, capturing roughly a tenth of what was available; the exit gave back most of the move.
AAPL S4	+1.59%	-0.64%	Signal: Right — the long call worked; price rose from 311.29 to 312.60 (+0.42%) and the worst drawdown was only -0.64%. Timing: Partially eaten by entry slippage — decision-time context showed price below prior close (309.38, -0.80%), yet the fill came at 311.29, meaning ~0.6% of the upward move occurred between decision and fill. Whether the news-driven pop itself had already fully run before entry can't be settled from this data. Exit: The dominant factor. The position saw +1.59% unrealized but the fixed next-close exit banked only +0.42% — roughly a quarter of what was available (+3.93 vs. ~$14.80 at the peak). The signal was fine; the mechanical exit gave back most of the move.

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.
