Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
NVDA S1	+1.40%	-0.52%	Signal: Right — the bearish call played out, with NVDA falling ~1.3% from entry. Timing: Fresh — price context at decision time (-0.11% since prev close, +0.04% last 30m) shows the move had not yet occurred. Exit: Strong — the +10.92 P&L (~+1.29%) captured nearly all of the +1.40% best unrealized, with only -0.52% adverse drawdown along the way. Dominant factor: correct signal on a fresh entry, with an exit that harvested almost the entire available move — this trade worked as intended on all three dimensions. Note the entry rationale rests on an unverified journal claim (the "Jalapeño chip" story), so whether the thesis itself was sound versus lucky can't be settled from this data.
AMD S3	+1.24%	-0.61%	Signal: Directionally right, at least briefly — the trade reached +1.24% unrealized, so the bullish call had something to capture. (Whether the rationale's logic holds is another matter: a non-Nvidia custom chip beating Nvidia is an odd basis for an AMD long, but the data here can't settle that.) Timing: Partly stale — decision-time context showed AMD at -0.88% (479.18), yet the fill came at 484.58, ~1.1% higher, meaning a meaningful chunk of the move occurred between decision and entry. Exit: This is the dominant factor. The position was closed not on merit but because it was netted out against a competing short decision, exiting at -0.34% and turning an available +1.24% into a -$3.28 loss — the exit captured none of what the trade offered.

📖 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.
