Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
GOOGL S1+3.12%+0.12%

Signal: right. The bearish call worked — GOOGL fell ~3% after entry, and the trade never went meaningfully against the short (worst unrealized only +0.12%). Timing: mostly fine at decision time (stock was flat, -0.12% since prev close, so the move hadn't happened), though the fill at 354.63 was already ~0.8% below prev close, suggesting some slippage between decision and entry; the data here doesn't show why. Exit: excellent — the +21.92 P&L (~+3.09% on the short) captured nearly all of the +3.12% best unrealized.

Dominant factor: a correct directional signal with a near-optimal exit; this trade executed about as well as the available move allowed.

📖 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.
