Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMZN S1	+0.21%	-1.10%	Signal: Wrong — the stock declined after entry, and the rationale itself is shaky: a Bezos personal consortium buying into Liverpool FC has no direct bearing on Amazon's business, so a bullish AMZN repricing thesis was tenuous from the start. Timing: The move was largely already in the price — entry at 279.4 was ~1.8% above the prior close, matching the pre-entry gain noted at decision time, so the trade chased a completed move. Exit: Reasonable given the situation — max available upside was only +0.21% (~+$1.75), and the exit at -0.39% avoided the worst drawdown of -1.10% (~-$9). The dominant factor is a weak/irrelevant signal combined with late entry, not exit execution.

📖 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.
