Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AAPL S1	+1.90%	-0.73%	Signal: Right — the bullish call played out, with the stock rising ~1.9% from entry. Timing: The stock was already up +0.73% at decision time (and the fill at 319.98 sits ~1.5% above prev close, suggesting further drift before entry), so some of the news reaction was consumed pre-entry — but ample move remained. Exit: Near-perfect capture — the +1.88% realized gain essentially matched the +1.90% best unrealized, against a shallow -0.73% worst drawdown. Dominant factor: a correct signal with an exit that captured virtually everything available; the only mild cost was entering after part of the move, which the data shows but doesn't quantify precisely between decision and fill.

📖 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.
