Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
MSFT S1+0.22%-1.57%

Signal (dominant factor): The bearish call was wrong — MSFT rose after entry, with the position spending most of its life underwater (max adverse -1.57% vs. only +0.22% ever in favor). The predicted regulatory-driven decline never materialized in the price.

Timing: The move had not already happened by entry — the stock was only -0.47% off the prior close and flat in the last 30 minutes, so entry wasn't chasing a stale move; the thesis simply didn't play out.

Exit: The exit at -0.58% gave back the brief +0.22% peak but cut the loss well above the -1.57% worst, so exit execution was reasonable given a bad signal — the loss was thesis-driven, not exit-driven.

📖 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.
