Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSLA S4	+6.60%	-5.55%	Signal: Partially validated — the short saw +6.60% unrealized at its best, so downside did materialize while open, though the stock ultimately closed sharply higher, so the one-day directional call was wrong at the horizon actually traded. Timing: Some of the move had already occurred — the stock was down 0.72% at decision time and the fill at 349.34 was ~1.5% below prior close — but this is minor relative to what followed. Exit (dominant factor): The mechanical next-close exit is the blunt failure here: the trade held through a +6.60% favorable excursion and exited at -5.46%, essentially the worst unrealized level (-5.55%). Nearly the entire available gain was surrendered and converted into a near-maximum loss by the fixed exit rule.

📖 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 ≥ 70.
