Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
PLTR S1	+4.45%	-0.34%	Signal: Right — the bullish repricing call played out, with the stock moving up to +4.45% unrealized and never dropping more than -0.34% against the position. Timing: Good — only +0.33% had moved since prior close at decision time, so entry was not chasing an already-completed move. Exit: Solid but not perfect — the +3.27% realized gain (+$28.50) captured roughly three-quarters of the +4.45% peak available. Dominant factor: a correct directional signal with clean timing; the modest give-back from the high is minor by comparison. Note the data here doesn't show whether the contract news itself drove the move or something else did — only that the predicted direction materialized.

📖 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.
