Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S4	+7.05%	-0.81%	Signal: correct — the short direction played out, with price falling after entry. Timing: partially late — GOOGL was already down 1.60% from the prior close at decision time, so some of the anticipated move had occurred, though further downside remained. Exit: this is the dominant factor — the trade saw +7.05% max favorable unrealized but the fixed next-close exit banked only ~0.6% (+$4.28), capturing less than a tenth of what was available; the mechanical time-based exit, not the thesis, determined the outcome.

📖 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.
