Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
MU S1+2.35%-0.29%

Signal: Correct — the bullish call played out, with the position running to +2.35% unrealized and closing +2.31%. Timing: Entry came after the stock was already up ~1.3% on the day (and the rationale cites a 5.5% rebound, which the price context here doesn't corroborate), so some chase occurred, but the bulk of the captured move happened post-entry. Exit: Nearly optimal — the +22.90 realized (+2.31%) captured almost all of the +2.35% best unrealized, with minimal drawdown (-0.29%).

Dominant factor: a correct signal executed cleanly, with the exit harvesting essentially everything the trade offered.

📖 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.
