Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
GOOGL S1+0.16%-0.04%

Signal: Directionally correct but barely — the stock drifted up only +0.16% at best while open, so the bullish call produced negligible follow-through rather than a real move.

Timing: GOOGL was already +0.82% off the prior close at decision time (entry 346.30 vs. 343.54 close), so a meaningful chunk of any news-driven move preceded entry; whether the "FRESH" label was accurate can't be verified from this data alone.

Exit: The exit captured +0.03% of a +0.16% best unrealized — leaving most of an already-tiny move on the table — but with a max drawdown of only -0.04%, there was essentially nothing to capture. Dominant factor: timing/stale signal — the post-entry move was near zero, suggesting the catalyst was largely priced in by entry.

GOOGL S4+0.94%-0.60%

Signal: Partially right — GOOGL did close above the prior close (345.48 vs 343.54, +0.56%), so the upward-drift direction held at the news level.

Timing: This is the dominant factor. The +0.82% move had already happened by decision time, and the fill at 346.63 was +0.90% above prior close — the entry price consumed more than the entire realized drift, converting a directionally correct call into a -0.33% loss.

Exit: The mechanical next-close exit left the +0.94% peak on the table and landed near the middle of the [-0.60%, +0.94%] range; that's a cost, but secondary to entering after the move. Whether the interim peak was capturable under this strategy's rules isn't determinable from this data — the fixed-close exit did what it was designed to do.

📖 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.
