Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| META S4 | +1.59% | -3.56% | Signal: wrong. The rationale predicted overnight upward drift on positive AI/subscription news, but META fell −2.46% from entry to exit — the direction was simply incorrect, and that's the dominant factor. Timing: adverse and partly unexplained. Decision-time context showed the stock down −0.43% from prev close (673.31), yet the fill was 682.66 — about +1.4% above prev close — meaning the position entered after a move higher not reflected in the decision context. The data here doesn't settle whether the news-driven surge had already fully played out before entry, but the fill price suggests the long paid up into strength. Exit: near the bottom of the available range. The mechanical next-close exit realized −2.46%, giving back a brief +1.59% unrealized gain and landing close to the −3.56% worst — but with a fixed-horizon rule, "capturing" the intraday peak wasn't part of the strategy; the loss reflects the failed signal more than exit execution. |
📖 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.
