Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMZN S4	+5.23%	-4.23%	Signal: Partly right — the anticipated downside did materialize while the trade was open (best unrealized +5.23%, price fell to ~$243), so the short thesis wasn't wrong on direction intraday. Timing: The stock had already fallen 1.81% from prior close by entry, so some of the news-driven move was consumed before the fill — though the further 5% drop shows meaningful downside remained. Exit: This is the dominant factor. The mechanical next-close exit surrendered the entire +5.23% favorable move and closed at 266.27, near the worst unrealized (-4.23%), locking in -3.83% (-$29.46). The signal delivered; the fixed-horizon exit rode the full reversal and captured close to the worst available outcome.

📖 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.

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.
