Signal (dominant factor): The bullish call was simply wrong — the trade never got more than +0.11% in its favor and fell as much as -2.47%, so the predicted upside didn't materialize while the position was open. Timing: The stock was only +0.60% off prior close at decision time, so this wasn't a chase into an extended move; note, though, the fill at 370.21 was ~1.1% above prev close, meaning some drift occurred between decision and entry that the data here doesn't explain. Exit: The -1.47% realized loss sits between the best (+0.11%) and worst (-2.47%) unrealized — the exit gave back essentially all available upside (there was almost none) but also avoided roughly a point of further downside, so exit execution was middling; the losing signal is what killed this trade.

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.
