Global smartphone shipments fell 10% in Q2 as surging DRAM and NAND memory costs forced manufacturers to raise prices, disproportionately impacting the mass-market segment.
overnight drift: buy MU at close, exit next close (other: Global smartphone shipments fell 10% in Q2 as surging DRAM and NAND memory costs forced manufacturers to raise prices, disproportionately impacting the mass-market segment.)
The rationale is muddled: the cited news (smartphone shipments down 10%) is actually bullish for MU as a memory supplier benefiting from surging DRAM/NAND prices, yet the rule treated it as generic "other" news rather than sector-directional signal — so the +0.56% win looks more like luck than thesis. The bigger failure is exit discipline: the position was up +5.35% unrealized and gave back nearly all of it by holding rigidly to next-close. Concrete fix: either add a take-profit trigger (e.g., exit if unrealized gain exceeds 3% intraday), or require the entry classifier to tag news as bullish/bearish for the specific ticker's position in the supply chain before sizing the trade.
📖 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 ≥ 60.
