Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S4	+0.97%	-1.28%	Comparison: The entry chased a +6% news-driven spike (White House investment pledge), betting on overnight continuation — but the trade barely eked out +0.23% (+$2.28) while suffering a -1.28% adverse excursion, worse than the peak gain of +0.97%. The rationale ("overnight drift") was effectively momentum-chasing into an already-priced-in headline, and the risk/reward realized was poor. Improvement: Add a filter to the entry rule: skip overnight drift entries when the underlying has already moved more than ~3% intraday on news, or require a pullback of at least 1% from the session high before buying — large pre-close surges tend to mean the drift edge is already consumed.

📖 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.
