🧭 Decisions
| strategy | ticker | action | side | rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | TSM | ○ skip | — | primary short move already absorbed: TSM -1.94% since prev close → close -0.25% |
| S2 | AAPL | ○ skip | — | inferred short contradicts tape: AAPL +1.59% since prev close → close +0.02% |
| S3 | AVGO | ○ skip | — | verdict REPRICING, direction bearish -> short AVGO (regulatory: The Trump administration is considering new semiconductor tariffs on laptops, consoles, and servers that would remove previous exemptions and tie import quotas to domestic manufacturing capacity.) [skipped: signal conflict — wanted short, netted, outranked by S1 long AVGO mat 85 (new mat 75)] → close +0.43% |
| S4 | TSM | ○ skip | — | overnight drift: short TSM at close, exit next close (regulatory: The Trump administration is considering new semiconductor tariffs on laptops, consoles, and servers that would remove previous exemptions and tie import quotas to domestic manufacturing capacity.) [skipped at close: stale at close-fill — wanted short, verdict now PRICED (-2.18% since close, 44m after decision), order not placed] |

📖 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.
