Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MU S4 | +4.15% | -1.46% | Signal: Right — the long call on post-earnings drift played out, with MU rallying ~4% from entry to exit. Timing: Not stale — price was slightly down at entry (-0.26% since prev close, fill at 933.17 vs. 940.76 prior close), so the move had not already occurred; the drift happened during the holding period. Exit: Near-optimal — the +4.02% realized gain captured almost all of the +4.15% best unrealized, and the worst drawdown (-1.46%) was modest. The dominant factor here is simply a correct signal executed cleanly; nothing in this trade's data points to a timing or exit deficiency. |
📖 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.
