Signal: correct — the bearish call played out, with the trade going almost immediately and monotonically in favor (worst unrealized only -0.07%). Timing: the stock was already down ~0.7% from prior close at entry, so a small part of the move preceded the fill, but the bulk of the decline (~1.7%) came after entry; whether the news was already fully priced can't be settled from this data alone. Exit: strong capture — +11.33 (+1.67%) against a best unrealized of +2.04%, i.e., roughly 80% of the available move. Dominant factor: a correct directional signal, executed and exited well.

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.
