Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD S1 | +2.16% | -0.59% | Signal: Correct — the bullish call played out, with the stock rising ~2.1% from entry. Timing: Good — despite the rationale citing an already "significant rally," price context at decision time (-0.07% vs. prev close) shows the move had not yet occurred, so entry was genuinely fresh. Exit: Near-optimal — the +11.55 (+2.12%) realized P&L captured almost all of the +2.16% best unrealized, against a minor -0.59% drawdown. Dominant factor: a correct signal executed well end-to-end; this trade captured essentially everything available. Note the rationale's claim of a pre-existing rally conflicts with the flat price context, but that discrepancy didn't hurt the trade. |
| AMD S4 | +10.66% | -0.06% | Signal: Right — the long call on the price-hike news played out with a large rally after entry. Timing: Partially late — the decision-time price was ~flat vs. prev close (545.09), but the fill at 557.03 was ~2.2% higher, so some of the move was missed before entry; still, the bulk of the gain came while the position was open. Exit: Essentially perfect — the +59.34 P&L (~+10.65%) matches the best unrealized of +10.66% with almost no drawdown (-0.06%), so nearly all available profit was captured. Dominant factor: a correct signal ridden to nearly its full extent; the only leakage was the entry-fill gap. |
📖 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.
