Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MU S1 | +0.86% | -1.01% | Signal: Partially right — price did move up +0.86% while the trade was open, but it didn't hold; the bullish call wasn't decisively wrong or right over this holding period, and note the thesis (2027 capex forecast) is a multi-year story being traded on an intraday horizon. Timing: Entry came after a +0.66% pop in the prior 30 minutes and 0.46% above the prior close, so part of the news repricing was likely already in the fill price — the data can't confirm how much, but the entry was chasing recent strength. Exit: This is the dominant factor: the trade saw +0.86% unrealized (~+8 USD) and was closed at -0.24% (-2.23 USD), near the middle of the -1.01% worst — the exit gave back essentially all available gains and captured none of the favorable move. |
📖 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.
