verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> long PLTR (guidance: Palantir Technologies stock surged over 29% after raising its annual revenue guidance, contributing to a broader market rally driven by strong AI-related earnings and semiconductor sector gains.) [skipped: signal conflict — wanted long, conflict-hold — mat 65 ties incumbent S1 short PLTR, incumbent held (strictly higher materiality required to flip)] → close +0.92%
overnight drift: long PLTR at close, exit next close (guidance: Palantir Technologies stock surged over 29% after raising its annual revenue guidance, contributing to a broader market rally driven by strong AI-related earnings and semiconductor sector gains.)
Signal: wrong. The trade never showed a profit (best unrealized -0.01%), so the predicted overnight drift simply didn't occur. Timing: the catalyst was stale — the rationale cites a 29% surge that had already happened, and price was already fading into entry (-0.93% on the day, -0.81% last 30m), consistent with chasing a played-out move. Exit: reasonable given the setup — the -2.36% realized loss sits between the best (-0.01%) and worst (-3.79%) unrealized, so the exit neither compounded nor rescued the trade; there was essentially no upside available to capture.
Dominant factor: bad signal from a stale news catalyst — the move was over before entry, and the position was underwater essentially the entire holding period.
📖 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.
