Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MSFT S1	+0.08%	-2.72%	Signal was wrong — the bearish call never materialized: MSFT gained ~1.9% against the short, with a best unrealized of only +0.08%, meaning the trade was essentially never in profit. Timing wasn't the issue; only a +0.43% move had occurred before entry, so the trade wasn't chasing a completed move — the predicted move simply didn't come. Exit was reasonable given what was available: the -18.48 loss (~-1.86%) was cut before the worst unrealized (-2.72%), and with a +0.08% peak there was nothing meaningful to capture. Dominant factor: a bad directional signal (and the rationale's link from an OpenAI IPO cancellation to MSFT downside is itself tenuous, though the data here can't confirm why the thesis failed).

📖 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.
