S2	-	○ skip	—	no counterparty in universe
S3	AVGO	○ skip	—	direction unclear for AVGO → close +0.61%

Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
NVDA S4	+1.22%	-2.52%	Signal: Wrong — the long thesis failed; NVDA fell -2.34% from entry (230.77 → 225.38). Timing: The trade also chased — entry was already +1.0% above the prior close (228.45), so part of any news pop was paid up-front. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit gave back the brief +1.22% peak and landed near the worst unrealized (-2.52%), but with a fixed-close rule that's a consequence of the signal, not a separate exit failure. Dominant factor: bad signal — the predicted direction was simply wrong, and entering above the prior close added a timing penalty on top. Note: the data here can't confirm whether the M&A claim in the rationale was real or already priced in; only the price action is verifiable.

📖 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.
