Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMZN S1	-0.10%	-0.96%	Signal (dominant factor): The bearish call was simply wrong over the holding period — AMZN rose from 253.68 to 254.84, and the position was underwater essentially the entire time (best unrealized was still -0.10%), so no profitable exit ever existed. Timing: The rationale claims shares had "entered correction territory," which suggests the drop may have already occurred before entry, but the decision-time context (-0.12% since prev close, +0.06% last 30m) shows no fresh move to fade or ride — the data here doesn't settle whether the news was already priced in, though the flat tape at entry is consistent with a stale story. Exit: The exit at -0.46% landed mid-range between the best (-0.10%) and worst (-0.96%) unrealized, so exit execution was neither the problem nor a save — the trade was a loser at every point, making this a signal failure, not an exit failure.

📖 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.
