Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
QCOM S1	+4.75%	+0.73%	Signal: right. The bullish call worked — the trade never went underwater (worst unrealized was +0.73%) and ran as high as +4.75%. Timing: fine. Entry was only +0.86% above prior close with a flat last 30 minutes, so the move had not yet happened at entry; the trade caught the bulk of the appreciation. Exit: the weak link. The exit at +2.74% (+$24.25) captured only a bit more than half of the +4.75% peak available while open — the dominant factor here is exit efficiency, giving back roughly 2 points of unrealized gain on an otherwise correct and well-timed trade.
AMZN S2	+1.09%	+0.02%	Signal: right. The bullish call worked — the trade never went underwater (worst unrealized +0.02%) and closed up +0.89%. Timing: mostly fine, with modest pre-entry drift. At decision time the stock was only +0.64% off the prior close, but the fill at 254.71 was +1.12% above it, so roughly half a percent of the move occurred between decision and entry; the bulk of the captured move still came after the fill. Exit: good capture. The exit banked +0.89% of a +1.09% peak — about 80% of the best available. Dominant factor: a correct signal executed cleanly; this is simply a well-captured winning trade, with only minor decision-to-fill slippage worth noting.

📖 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.

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.
