Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S1	+0.15%	-1.53%	Signal (dominant factor): The bullish call was wrong — GOOGL fell from 342.44 to 339.75 (-0.79%), and the best unrealized gain was only +0.15%, so the predicted upside essentially never materialized. Timing: The stock was already down -0.75% from prior close at decision time, but the data here can't confirm whether an anticipated bullish move had already occurred earlier — the visible drift was against the thesis, not ahead of it. Exit: The exit was reasonable given what was available — the -0.79% realized loss sits between the +0.15% best and -1.53% worst unrealized, so the exit roughly halved the maximum drawdown; there was no meaningful profit to capture. The failure is the directional signal, not execution.

📖 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.
