Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MU S1 | +0.21% | -2.82% | Signal/timing: The bullish call didn't play out during the trade — the stock never gained more than +0.21% after entry and drifted down. The entry came after the stock was already up ~0.8% on the day (and the fill at 871.8 was ~1.25% above prior close), consistent with the AI-demand news being largely priced in by entry, though the data here can't prove the story was fully stale versus simply failing to follow through. Exit: The exit captured most of what was available — closing at -0.62% versus a worst unrealized of -2.82% and a best of only +0.21%, so there was essentially no profit to be had at any point. Dominant factor: Timing — the trade chased a move that had already happened, leaving no upside in the holding window; the exit itself was reasonable damage control. |
📖 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.
