Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA S3 | +0.03% | -3.84% | Entry vs. outcome: The rationale was a second-order inference — AMD/Anthropic news traded as a bearish signal on NVDA, a ticker not even named in the catalyst — and the market disagreed immediately: max favorable excursion was +0.03%, meaning the short was underwater essentially from entry until closing at -3.84% adverse. Competitor partnership announcements have historically not dented NVDA demand narratives, so the "FRESH" verdict was fresh but the directional mapping was speculative. Improvement: Restrict FRESH-verdict entries to the ticker(s) explicitly named in the catalyst; for cross-ticker sympathy trades, require price confirmation (e.g., NVDA already down >1% on the session) before allowing entry, or downgrade them to a lower-conviction verdict tier with reduced size. |
📖 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 ≥ 60.
