verdict FRESH, direction bullish -> long META (product: AMD unveiled its Helios rack-scale AI system with major commitments from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle, challenging Nvidia's dominance in AI infrastructure.)
verdict FRESH, direction bearish -> short NVDA (product: AMD unveiled its Helios rack-scale AI system with major commitments from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle, challenging Nvidia's dominance in AI infrastructure.) [skipped: signal conflict — wanted short, conflict-hold — mat 85 ties incumbent S3 long NVDA, incumbent held (strictly higher materiality required to flip)] → close -0.30%
overnight drift: long AMD at close, exit next close (product: AMD unveiled its Helios rack-scale AI system with major commitments from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle, challenging Nvidia's dominance in AI infrastructure.) [skipped at close: stale at close-fill — wanted long, verdict now PRICED (+2.38% since close, 155m after decision), order not placed]
Signal: wrong, or at least not tradeable — after entry META never gained more than +0.22% and fell as much as -0.50%, so the bullish thesis (a second-order read on an AMD product announcement, note) didn't play out in the holding window. Timing: the stock was already up ~0.8% from prior close at entry, so much of any news pop had happened before the fill — the entry chased. Exit: at -0.35%, the exit gave back the small available upside but stopped short of the worst drawdown; the dominant factor is the signal itself — a tangential, likely already-priced catalyst with almost no upside realized — with late entry compounding it. (Whether a longer hold would have vindicated the direction isn't determinable from this data.)
📖 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.
