Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S1	+1.42%	-0.39%	Signal: Right — the bullish call played out, with price rising ~1.0% from entry and never drawing down more than -0.39%. Timing: Only a modest +0.61% had occurred since the prior close before entry, so most of the move came after the fill; that said, whether the "FRESH" label was accurate for a launch expected in September 2026 can't be settled from this data — the rally may not be attributable to this catalyst at all. Exit: Good capture — the +9.36 P&L (+1.02%) took roughly 70% of the +1.42% peak unrealized gain. Dominant factor: a correct signal with a reasonably efficient exit; nothing here indicates a problem, though the causal link between the rationale and the move is unverified.

📖 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.

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.
