Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSFT S4 | +2.97% | -4.96% | Signal: Partially vindicated intraday — the short saw a favorable excursion of +2.97%, so downward movement did occur while the trade was open, though the position also went -4.96% against it, and this data can't confirm the debt-issuance thesis itself drove any of it. Timing: Not obviously late — MSFT was only -0.59% from prior close at decision time with a slight uptick into the close, so entry didn't chase an already-completed move. Exit: This is the dominant factor. The mechanical next-close exit turned a trade that had ~+2.97% (~$29) available unrealized gain into a -$8.40 (-0.85%) loss; the fixed hold period surrendered the entire favorable move and locked in the adverse leg. |
📖 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.
