Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AAPL S1 | -0.04% | -2.24% | Signal (dominant factor): The bearish call was simply wrong — AAPL rose ~1.2% against the short, and the trade was never meaningfully in the money (best unrealized just -0.04%), so the predicted margin-compression selloff didn't materialize while the position was open. Timing: The pre-entry drift was tiny (-0.31% since prev close), so the thesis hadn't already played out; note, though, the fill at 328.74 was above prev close, meaning the stock had already reversed upward by entry — worsening a bad signal. Exit: The -12.12 loss (~-1.2%) landed between the best (-0.04%) and worst (-2.24%) unrealized, so the exit cut roughly half of the maximum drawdown, but there was essentially no profit available to capture at any point. |

- S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same 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.
