Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMD S1	+0.81%	-0.02%	Signal: Right — the bullish call paid off; price rose from 465.0 to 468.56 (+0.77%). Whether the move was actually driven by the Google/AMD TPU story can't be determined from this data. Timing: Good — entry at 465.0 was below the prior close (466.42), and the worst unrealized drawdown was only -0.02%, so the trade was not chasing an already-completed move. Exit: Near-perfect capture — +0.77% realized against a best unrealized of +0.81%, leaving essentially nothing on the table. The dominant factor here is a correct directional signal executed cleanly; nothing in this trade's data points to a flaw.
AMD S4	+1.95%	-1.11%	Signal: Correct — the long thesis played out, with AMD rising ~1.2% from entry to exit. Timing: Mostly fine — entry at 468.38 was only ~0.4% above the prior close of 466.42, so little of the move had been consumed before the fill (though the +0.64% last-30m drift suggests some momentum was already underway). Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured +1.18% against a best unrealized of +1.95%, so roughly 60% of the peak was banked; the -1.11% drawdown was ridden through without harm. Dominant factor: signal quality — the directional call was right and drove the profit; the exit rule left about a third of the available gain on the table, which is a secondary observation, not the story of this trade.

📖 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.

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.
