Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MSFT S1	+0.17%	-0.72%	Signal: Wrong — the bullish call didn't materialize; the stock never gained more than +0.17% while open and drifted down ~0.4% to exit. Timing: Indeterminate from this data — pre-entry drift was mildly negative (-0.17% since prior close), but nothing here shows when the Meta/Azure news broke or whether it was already priced in. Exit: Reasonable given what was available — the -0.40% realized loss sits between the +0.17% peak and -0.72% trough, so there was almost nothing to capture and the exit avoided the worst. The dominant factor is a bad signal: the bullish thesis simply didn't move the stock.

📖 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.
