Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S1	+0.03%	-3.14%	Signal was wrong — that's the dominant factor. The bullish call went straight against the trade: price never moved more than +0.03% in its favor before sinking. Timing wasn't the issue — the stock was slightly down at entry (-0.52% since prior close), so the move hadn't already happened; the predicted move simply never occurred. The exit at -2.34% was reasonable given what was available: max unrealized gain was effectively zero (+0.03%), and the exit came off somewhat better than the worst drawdown of -3.14%, so there was no meaningful upside left uncaptured.

📖 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.
