🧭 Decisions
| strategy | ticker | action | side | rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | MU | ○ skip | — | verdict REPRICING, direction bullish -> long MU (other: Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan and Micron Technology executives warn that severe memory supply constraints will persist through 2027, driving significant price increases that benefit memory suppliers while raising costs for device manufacturers and AI infrastructure builders.) [skipped: duplicate theme — already holding S1 long MU exiting 2026-09-18] → close +1.76% |
| S2 | - | ○ skip | — | no counterparty in universe |
| S3 | AAPL | ○ skip | — | inferred short: materiality 65 below floor 75 → close +0.41% |
| S4 | MU | ○ skip | — | overnight drift: long MU at close, exit next close (other: Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan and Micron Technology executives warn that severe memory supply constraints will persist through 2027, driving significant price increases that benefit memory suppliers while raising costs for device manufacturers and AI infrastructure builders.) [skipped at close: stale at close-fill — wanted long, verdict now PRICED (+3.20% since close, 224m after decision), order not placed] |

📖 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.
