Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
NVDA S1+1.36%+0.29%

Signal: Right — the bullish call played out; the position was never underwater (worst unrealized +0.29%) and reached +1.36%.

Timing: Fine — despite the stock being +1.13% from prior close at decision time, the fill at 221.83 came in below the prior close, so the entry didn't chase an exhausted move.

Exit (dominant factor): The trade captured only ~+0.35% (+$3.08) of the +1.36% available, because it was closed early by being netted against an outranking short NVDA decision — not by any judgment about this trade itself. The early forced exit left roughly three-quarters of the observed favorable move uncaptured; whether the countervailing short was itself correct isn't determinable from this data.

📖 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.
