overnight drift: long AVGO at close, exit next close (guidance: Broadcom management forecasts its AI semiconductor revenue will exceed $100 billion in fiscal 2027, a significant increase from the $56 billion expected in fiscal 2026.)
Signal: Right — the bullish AI-guidance thesis played out, with the stock rising ~4.3% overnight. Timing: The move had not already happened by entry; the stock was down 1.51% from the prior close at decision time, so the entry actually caught the move at a slight discount rather than chasing it. Exit: Near-perfect capture — the +4.30% realized gain essentially matched the +4.32% best unrealized, with minimal drawdown (-0.55%). The dominant factor is a correct signal executed cleanly on both ends; nothing in this trade's data suggests a flaw.

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.
