Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S1	+0.77%	-0.34%	Signal: Right, but weakly — the bullish call produced a small gain, and price at entry was below the prior close (-0.88%), so the anticipated move had not already run before entry; whether the news itself was truly fresh can't be verified from this data. Exit: This is the dominant factor. The trade saw +0.77% unrealized (~$5.15 on 2 shares) but exited at +0.14% (+$0.92), capturing under a fifth of what was available — the position gave back most of its gain before the exit fired. Bottom line: Direction and timing were acceptable; the exit left the bulk of the available move on the table.

📖 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.

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.
