🧭 Decisions
| strategy | ticker | action | side | rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | MSFT | ○ skip | — | verdict FRESH, direction bullish -> long MSFT (guidance: AI cloud provider CoreWeave raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $12.4B-$13.2B and reported a $104.2B contracted backlog driven by demand from customers including Microsoft.) [skipped: signal conflict — wanted long, netted, outranked by S3 short MSFT mat 85 (new mat 65)] → close +0.58% |
| S2 | - | ○ skip | — | no counterparty in universe |
| S3 | GOOGL | ○ skip | — | direction unclear for GOOGL → close +0.01% |
| S4 | MSFT | ● enter | ▲ long | overnight drift: long MSFT at close, exit next close (guidance: AI cloud provider CoreWeave raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $12.4B-$13.2B and reported a $104.2B contracted backlog driven by demand from customers including Microsoft.) |

Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSFT S4 | +1.51% | -6.78% | Signal: Mixed at best — MSFT did hold above the prior close (497.90 exit vs. 493.46), so the news-driven bullish read wasn't outright wrong, but there was no further upside from entry to next close, which is what this strategy actually needed. Timing: This is the dominant factor: the stock was already up ~0.9% at decision time and the fill came in at 500.85 (~1.5% above prev close), meaning the trade bought after the CoreWeave-driven pop had largely occurred. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit at -0.59% left the +1.51% peak uncaptured but also avoided the -6.78% trough — a middling but defensible outcome given the rule; the loss stems from a stale entry, not the exit mechanism. |
📖 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.
