Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MU S4	+2.41%	-1.37%	Signal: right. The bullish AI-demand thesis played out — MU rose +2.32% from entry to exit. Timing: fine. Price was down -1.69% from prior close and still drifting lower at entry, so the move had not already happened; the entry actually caught a small dip before the rally. Exit: near-optimal. The +21.64 P&L (+2.32%) captured almost all of the +2.41% best unrealized, with only modest adverse excursion (-1.37%) along the way. The dominant factor is simply a correct directional signal executed cleanly — signal quality drove this trade, and the mechanical next-close exit happened to land near the peak.

📖 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.

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.
