🎯 Tickers & verdicts
🧭 Decisions
| strategy | ticker | action | side | rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | MSFT | ○ skip | — | verdict FRESH, direction bullish -> long MSFT (partnership: Meta Platforms has become one of Microsoft's largest customers for AI infrastructure, processing trillions of tokens weekly through the Azure cloud platform.) [skipped: duplicate theme — already holding S1 long MSFT exiting 2026-08-25] → close +0.34% |
| S2 | - | ○ skip | — | no counterparty in universe |
| S3 | GOOGL | ○ skip | — | inferred short: materiality 65 below floor 75 → close +0.04% |
| S4 | MSFT | ● enter | ▲ long | overnight drift: long MSFT at close, exit next close (partnership: Meta Platforms has become one of Microsoft's largest customers for AI infrastructure, processing trillions of tokens weekly through the Azure cloud platform.) |

Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSFT S4 | +1.00% | -5.65% | Signal: Right — long paid off, with exit +0.94% above entry. Timing: Partially late — entry at 492.21 was already ~1.0% above the prior close of 487.31, so some of the drift had occurred pre-fill, yet the position still gained further. Exit: Near-optimal — the +0.94% realized is essentially the +1.00% best unrealized, though the position endured a -5.65% drawdown en route, meaning the fixed next-close exit happened to land at the peak. Dominant factor: a correct directional call whose mechanical exit luckily coincided with the high-water mark; the -5.65% adverse excursion shows the result was fragile, not that the thesis was strongly validated. The data here can't confirm whether the Meta/Azure news itself drove the move versus broader market action. |
📖 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.
