Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMZN S4 | +0.25% | -2.47% | Signal: wrong — dominant factor. The predicted overnight drift never materialized: the best the position ever saw was +0.25%, while it fell as much as -2.47%, so the long direction was simply incorrect over the holding window. Timing: Some of the anticipated move had already occurred before entry — the fill at 278.27 was ~1.4% above the prior close (274.48), buying into strength after a +0.70% day, which worsened the entry but isn't the main story given the subsequent decline. Exit: The fixed next-close exit at 272.34 (-2.13%) captured nearly the full drawdown, close to the -2.47% worst and far from the meager +0.25% best — but that's a consequence of the mechanical rule, not a discretionary exit failure; the trade offered almost nothing to capture on the long side. |
📖 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.
