verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> buy NVDA (earnings: Micron Technology shares surged nearly 8% following a strong earnings report and positive guidance driven by robust demand for AI memory chips.)
The entry was a sympathy play — buying NVDA off Micron's earnings — and it worked, but barely (+1.37%, and the trade never went more than 0.23% against you, so the read on AI-demand spillover was directionally right). The problem is the REPRICING verdict was applied to a ticker that wasn't actually repricing on its own news; sympathy moves are weaker and fade faster than direct catalysts. Concrete fix: restrict REPRICING verdicts to the ticker named in the catalyst, and route sympathy/derivative plays to a separate verdict (e.g., SYMPATHY) with a smaller position size or a tighter profit target — here, exiting near the +1.35% peak would have captured nearly all the available move.

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.
