verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> buy META (partnership: Meta Platforms is in preliminary talks to lease $10 billion worth of AI computing power to Anthropic, marking a potential entry into the commercial cloud services market.)
overnight drift: buy META at close, exit next close (partnership: Meta Platforms is in preliminary talks to lease $10 billion worth of AI computing power to Anthropic, marking a potential entry into the commercial cloud services market.) [skipped at close: duplicate — already holding S4 buy META exiting 2026-07-21]
The entry treated "preliminary talks" about a $10B deal as a REPRICING event, but rumors of early-stage negotiations rarely reprice a $1.6T company — and the price action confirmed this, with the position never getting more than +0.09% in the green before drifting to a loss. The signal-to-materiality mismatch is the core problem: $10B of potential lease revenue is roughly 5% of Meta's annual revenue, contingent and years out, which is noise at this market cap. Concrete fix: downgrade "preliminary/exploratory talks" headlines from REPRICING to WATCH (no trade), and only allow REPRICING verdicts on confirmed agreements or on news where the deal size clears some threshold relative to the company's market cap or revenue (e.g., >5% of trailing revenue, definitive agreement signed).

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same 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.
