Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVGO S1 | -0.12% | -2.43% | The signal was wrong: the bullish thesis never materialized — the stock was underwater essentially the entire hold (best unrealized just -0.12%, i.e., it never even reached entry), so this wasn't a timing issue of chasing an already-completed move (entry was only +0.45% above prior close). The exit at -2.11% was near the worst unrealized of -2.43%, but with no upside ever available, the exit could only limit damage, not capture gains. Dominant factor: directional signal failure — the "fresh bullish" call on the guidance news simply didn't hold up. |
📖 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.
