Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AAPL S4 | +2.91% | -1.09% | Signal: Right — the long call worked, with the position drifting up ~2.0% overnight and never dropping more than 1.09%. Timing: The news had already moved the stock +1.58% before entry (entry at 310.09 vs prev close 305.59), so the trade paid up for stale momentum — but the continuation drift still materialized, so the late entry didn't kill the trade. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured +2.0% of a +2.91% peak — roughly two-thirds of the best available, a reasonable capture rather than a giveback. Dominant factor: a correct directional signal that kept working past the initial pop; this was a clean win despite chasing an already-moved price. |
📖 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.
