Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MSFT S2	+1.37%	-0.10%	The entry logic is muddled: the catalyst was an AMD event (MI500, Advancing AI), yet the strategy bought MSFT on a second-order "partner mention" — that's derivative exposure to a catalyst that barely prices into a $3T mega-cap. The trade worked (+1.16%, max drawdown only -0.10%), but that's likely beta/luck rather than validation of the thesis, since AMD's product event was never going to reprice Microsoft. Improvement: Require the traded ticker to be the primary subject of the catalyst for a REPRICING verdict; partner/customer mentions should be downgraded to a weaker verdict (e.g., SYMPATHY) with a smaller size or no trade, especially when the derivative name's market cap dwarfs the catalyst company's.

📖 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.
