Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA S3 | -0.19% | -2.61% | Signal (dominant factor): The bearish call was simply wrong — NVDA rallied ~2.1% against the short, and the best unrealized was only -0.19%, meaning the trade was essentially never in meaningful profit. Note the rationale itself is shaky: it's AMD-specific strength news being mapped to a short on NVDA, and nothing in the data confirms a bearish NVDA thesis. Timing: Not the issue — price was only +0.26% off prior close at decision time, so the entry wasn't chasing a move that had already happened. Exit: The exit gave back little relative to what was available (closed at -2.08% vs. a worst of -2.61% and best of -0.19%); there was almost no favorable move to capture, so exit quality is secondary to the bad signal. |
📖 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.
