Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S2	+0.04%	-0.17%	Signal was wrong — that's the dominant factor. The bullish read-through (Broadcom's AI chip strength implying good things for GOOGL) never materialized: the stock's best unrealized gain while open was a negligible +0.04%, so there was essentially no upside to capture. Timing wasn't the issue — price was slightly down at entry (-0.38% from prior close), so the trade hadn't missed a move; the exit at -0.15% was near the worst unrealized (-0.17%), but with a max favorable of +0.04% there was nothing meaningful available to capture regardless, so exit quality is a non-factor here.

📖 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.
