Retrospectives

TSLA S1-0.35%-0.35%

Signal: Wrong over the window observed — TSLA moved up against the short the entire time it was open (best unrealized was also -0.35%; the position was never green). Whether the bearish repricing thesis would have played out over a longer horizon is unknowable here, because the trade was force-closed by netting against an opposing long TSLA decision, not by the thesis resolving.

Timing: The stock was already down ~0.65% on the day and ~1% in the prior 30 minutes at entry, so a modest chunk of the anticipated bearish move had occurred pre-fill — but the entry-vs-exit data can't confirm whether the news was fully priced.

Exit: Clean — the -$3 realized loss matches the worst (and best) unrealized almost exactly; there was nothing better available to capture. The dominant factor is the signal being wrong while open, compounded by the blunt fact that the system simultaneously held a bullish TSLA decision that outranked and killed this one — the strategy was contradicting itself on the same ticker.

📖 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.
