Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
NVDA S4+2.68%-0.08%

Signal: Right — the long call worked; price rose ~0.96% from entry and the worst unrealized was essentially zero (-0.08%).

Timing: Questionable but not fully settled by the data: decision-time context showed NVDA at -0.40% vs prev close (224.41), yet the fill was 228.58 — ~1.9% above prev close — meaning a substantial gap-up occurred between decision and fill, so part of the earnings move was already consumed at entry.

Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured +$8.76 (~+0.96%) of a +2.68% peak unrealized — roughly a third of what was available. The dominant factor is the entry fill absorbing a large gap the rationale's edge was meant to capture; the exit then gave back most of the remaining intraday high, but that's inherent to the fixed close-to-close mechanics rather than a directional miss.

📖 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.
