Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSFT S3 | +0.13% | -0.33% | Signal: Marginally right at exit, but weak — the worst unrealized (-0.33%) was more than double the best (+0.13%), so price spent more time/distance against the short than for it; this looks like noise, not a confirmed bearish move. Timing: MSFT was already down 0.44% from prior close at decision time, so most of what little downside occurred had happened pre-entry; the data can't confirm whether the news itself drove that dip. Exit: The +0.32 USD (~0.03%) captured roughly a quarter of the modest +0.13% peak available — exit was fine given there was almost nothing to capture. Dominant factor: Signal weakness — the bearish-MSFT thesis (derived from an Nvidia acquisition, an indirect read at best) produced essentially no move, and the trade's small profit is indistinguishable from chance. |
📖 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.
