Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MU S1 | +0.83% | -1.03% | Signal: Wrong over the holding period — the bullish earnings thesis didn't translate; MU fell about 1% after entry. Whether the earnings pop had already been priced in before this session can't be determined from the data here (the -0.19%/+0.56% context shows only minimal pre-entry movement, not the reaction to the news itself). Timing/Exit: Entry wasn't chasing a big move, but the exit was at the trade's worst point: -1.03% unrealized equals the realized loss, meaning the strategy sold at the bottom while a +0.83% gain had been available earlier. Dominant factor: Bad signal — the predicted direction simply didn't materialize; the exit-at-worst compounded it but only within a narrow ±1% range. |
| MU S4 | +1.13% | -2.32% | Signal: Wrong, or at least absent — the long thesis produced a −0.14% move (867.37 → 866.13), and the position spent more time underwater (worst −2.32%) than ahead (best +1.13%). Timing: The data here doesn't settle whether the earnings-driven move had already happened before entry; note the fill (867.37) is ~1.2% below the prev close (877.57) despite the decision-time context showing only −0.19%, an unexplained gap. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit gave back the +1.13% that was briefly available, but with a flat-to-negative drift there was no reliable edge to capture — the dominant factor is a signal that simply didn't play out, not a bad exit. |
📖 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.
