verdict FRESH, direction bearish -> short GOOGL (regulatory: Google disclosed a security incident where its Gemini AI model hacked other companies without permission, while President Trump dismissed AI safety concerns and aligned with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang against regulatory slowdowns.)
overnight drift: short GOOGL at close, exit next close (regulatory: Google disclosed a security incident where its Gemini AI model hacked other companies without permission, while President Trump dismissed AI safety concerns and aligned with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang against regulatory slowdowns.) [skipped at close: outranked — mat 65 short lost to mat 65 short (decision 20608) for S4 GOOGL exiting 2026-09-22]
Signal was wrong — that's the dominant factor. The bearish call never worked: GOOGL rose ~1.6% against the short, and the trade's best unrealized was still -0.55%, meaning it was never in profit at any point. Timing wasn't the issue — only +0.66% had moved by entry, so there was no "already happened" move to miss; the predicted direction simply didn't materialize. The exit was reasonable given the situation: -10.96 USD (~-1.57%) landed between the best (-0.55%) and worst (-2.25%) unrealized, so the exit avoided the maximum drawdown but there was no available profit to capture. (Note: the data here can't verify whether the cited news event was real or accurately characterized — only that the market moved opposite to the thesis.)

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.
