Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSLA S1	+1.46%	-0.29%	Entry vs. outcome: The bearish thesis — BYD out-delivering Tesla triggers a repricing — technically worked, but barely: the trade captured most of a shallow ~1.4% move (max favorable +1.46%, minimal adverse excursion), suggesting the market had largely digested a competitive-dynamics story that isn't new information about Tesla itself. A $10 gain on a 2-share position is noise, not validation of the REPRICING verdict. Improvement: Reserve REPRICING for company-specific catalysts (Tesla's own deliveries, margins, guidance) and downgrade competitor-relative headlines to a weaker verdict tier requiring confirmation (e.g., TSLA already breaking a technical level or estimate revisions) before entry — second-order news like "rival sold more" repeatedly produces these low-magnitude, low-conviction fills.

📖 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.
