Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
AVGO S4+0.12%-4.97%

Signal: wrong. The rationale predicted continued upward drift after strong earnings, but AVGO fell ~4.7% from entry — the direction call failed outright. Timing: the stock was only +0.97% off the prior close at entry, so this wasn't a case of chasing an already-completed move; the loss came from a fresh decline, not late entry. Exit: with best unrealized of just +0.12% and worst of -4.97%, there was essentially no profit available to capture, and the -4.67% realized exit sat near the trough — but under a mechanical next-close exit that's by design, not discretion. Dominant factor: the signal itself was wrong; the anticipated post-earnings drift reversed.

📖 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.
