Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S4	+0.71%	-4.87%	Signal was wrong — that's the dominant factor. The predicted post-earnings drift didn't materialize; the stock fell ~0.55% from entry to exit, and the entry price (348.2 vs prev close 344.82, ~+1%) suggests part of any earnings pop had already occurred before the fill. Timing thus compounded the problem, but the exit was actually decent: with only +0.71% best unrealized available and a worst of -4.87%, the -0.55% realized loss recovered most of the drawdown rather than leaving money on the table.

📖 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.
