Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSLA S1	-0.52%	-2.92%	Signal: Unconfirmed post-entry — TSLA never traded below the entry price while the position was open (best unrealized was still -0.52%), so the data shows no bearish follow-through, though whether the thesis was "wrong" versus already priced in can't be fully separated here. Timing: This is the dominant factor. The stock was already down 1.26% at decision time and filled at 358.21 (roughly -2.6% from prev close), meaning the short was entered after the repricing had largely occurred; the trade was underwater from the start. Exit: Reasonable given what was available — the -1.39% realized loss sits between the best (-0.52%) and worst (-2.92%) unrealized marks, so the exit avoided the worst of the adverse move; there was never a profit to capture.

📖 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.
