Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
AMZN S1+0.42%-0.02%

Signal: Right — the bullish call worked; price never went meaningfully against the position (worst -0.02%) and drifted up after entry.

Timing: Partially late — AMZN was already +1.31% from prior close at decision time, so a chunk of the repricing was in the price before entry; the remaining move captured was small (+0.25%).

Exit: Reasonable — the +0.25% realized was about 60% of the best unrealized (+0.42%), so the exit captured most of what was available. The dominant factor is timing: the trade was directionally correct but entered after most of the day's move, leaving only a thin residual gain to harvest.

📖 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.
