|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | NVDA | ○ skip | — | verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> long NVDA (partnership: Nvidia invested approximately $3.5 billion in MediaTek via convertible bonds to integrate its architecture into edge computing and defend against custom silicon competition.) [skipped: duplicate theme — already holding S3 long NVDA exiting 2026-09-03] → close +0.50% |
| S2 | - | ○ skip | — | no counterparty in universe |
| S3 | AMD | ● enter | ▼ short | verdict FRESH, direction bearish -> short AMD (partnership: Nvidia invested approximately $3.5 billion in MediaTek via convertible bonds to integrate its architecture into edge computing and defend against custom silicon competition.) |
| S4 | NVDA | ○ skip | — | overnight drift: long NVDA at close, exit next close (partnership: Nvidia invested approximately $3.5 billion in MediaTek via convertible bonds to integrate its architecture into edge computing and defend against custom silicon competition.)

Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD S3 | +0.46% | -0.68% | Signal: Directionally right in the narrow sense — AMD drifted down and the short closed +0.21% — but the move was tiny and within noise (best +0.46%, worst -0.68%; the adverse excursion exceeded the favorable one). Whether the Nvidia–MediaTek news actually drove AMD lower can't be settled from this data; the rationale's link from a Nvidia/MediaTek deal to a bearish AMD thesis is indirect. Timing: Not stale — price was roughly flat pre-entry (-0.11% from prior close), so the entry didn't chase an already-completed move. Exit: Captured roughly half the best available (+0.21% of +0.46%), which is reasonable given the small range. Dominant factor: Weak signal — this was essentially a coin-flip trade on a second-order news read, and the sub-1% total price range means the small profit says little about thesis quality. |
📖 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.
