Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S1	-0.32%	-1.40%	Signal (dominant factor): The bullish call was simply wrong over the holding period — the trade never went positive (best unrealized was -0.32%), so there was no upside to capture at any point. Timing: The price context (-0.46% since prev close, flat last 30m) doesn't show a pre-entry run-up, so the data here doesn't establish whether the foldable-iPhone news was already priced in; it can't be settled from this record. Exit: Exit at -0.95% sits between the best (-0.32%) and worst (-1.40%) unrealized — the exit avoided the trough but couldn't have salvaged a profit, since none existed while the position was open.

S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same 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.
