Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S3	+0.83%	-0.03%	Signal: Right — the bullish call worked, with GOOGL rising ~0.8% during the hold. Worth noting the rationale is Meta-specific news (capex, model launch) applied to GOOGL as a sector read-through; whether that catalyst actually drove GOOGL isn't determinable from this data. Timing: Not late — the stock was essentially flat at entry (-0.06% since prior close, +0.13% last 30m), so the move happened after the fill. Exit: Near-optimal — the +0.81% realized gain captured almost all of the +0.83% best unrealized, and drawdown was negligible (-0.03%). Dominant factor: a correct directional call executed and exited cleanly — this trade worked as intended, with the only open question being whether the Meta-based rationale was the true driver or a coincidence.

📖 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.
