Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSFT S1 | +0.22% | -0.82% | Signal (dominant factor): The bullish call was wrong — MSFT never moved meaningfully in the predicted direction, topping out at just +0.22% unrealized before sliding. The rationale is also weakly tied: the news is a Samsung supply story where Microsoft is a customer, a tenuous bullish driver for MSFT specifically. Timing: The stock was already down -0.92% from prior close at decision time, so entry wasn't chasing a bullish move that had already happened; there's no evidence here of a stale signal, just an incorrect one. Exit: The -0.77% realized loss (-3.92 on 510.92) is nearly the full worst unrealized drawdown of -0.82%, meaning the exit captured close to the maximum available loss — but with only +0.22% ever available on the upside, no exit could have salvaged much from a bad signal. |
📖 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.
