Entry vs. outcome: The thesis was a macro repricing story (oil spike, geopolitical risk), but the trade captured a trivial +0.26% move that never exceeded ±1% unrealized — that's noise, not a repricing. If the verdict were genuinely "REPRICING," you'd expect a multi-percent directional move; the outcome suggests the macro narrative was either already priced in or too diffuse to hit a single mega-cap name.

Improvement: Require a stock-specific transmission check before assigning REPRICING off macro news — e.g., demand direct exposure evidence (Apple supply chain disruption, guidance risk) or downgrade broad macro headlines to a weaker verdict tier with smaller size. Alternatively, add a minimum expected-move threshold (say, implied move >1.5%) to justify the REPRICING label at all.

📖 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.
