Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AAPL S4 | +0.92% | -2.65% | Signal: Right — the long call on the iPhone Duo news paid off, with price closing +0.81% above entry. Timing: The move had not already happened; entry at 336.5 was actually slightly below the prior close (-0.52% context), so the strategy wasn't chasing. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured nearly everything available — +0.81% realized against a best unrealized of +0.92% — though the trade sat through a -2.65% drawdown along the way, meaning the positive outcome depended on the fixed hold surviving a much larger adverse move than the gain it banked. Dominant factor: correct signal with near-optimal exit capture; the notable risk fact is the -2.65% intratrade drawdown dwarfing the +0.92% peak gain. |

- S2 counterparty — trades the inferred counterparty ticker (weakest signal, LLM-inferred sympathy); exits at the same 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.
