Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
META S1	+0.53%	-0.62%	Signal: Wrong. The bullish call didn't materialize — META drifted down and the trade closed at -0.58%, near the worst unrealized (-0.62%). Timing: No evidence of chasing a stale move — the stock was roughly flat at entry (+0.27% since prior close, -0.26% last 30m), so the entry wasn't late; the predicted move simply never came. Exit: The close was mechanical (netted out against an opposing short signal, not a take-profit/stop), and it landed almost at the trough of the trade's range, giving up the earlier +0.53% peak. The dominant factor is a wrong directional signal — the exit made it marginally worse, but the available upside was only ~0.5% regardless. Whether the bullish thesis would have played out on a longer horizon can't be determined from this data.

📖 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.
