🧭 Decisions

strategytickeractionsiderationale
S1AMZN○ skip—verdict REPRICING, direction bearish -> short AMZN (regulatory: Local opposition and regulatory moratoriums have blocked or delayed $68 billion in U.S. data center projects, posing infrastructure risks to major hyperscalers.) [skipped: signal conflict — wanted short, conflict-hold — mat 65 ties incumbent S1 long AMZN, incumbent held (strictly higher materiality required to flip)] → close -1.29%
S2-○ skip—no counterparty in universe
S3NVDA○ skip—inferred short: materiality 65 below floor 75 → close +0.58%
S4AMZN○ skip—overnight drift: short AMZN at close, exit next close (regulatory: Local opposition and regulatory moratoriums have blocked or delayed $68 billion in U.S. data center projects, posing infrastructure risks to major hyperscalers.) [skipped at close: outranked — mat 65 short lost to mat 65 long (decision 20976) for S4 AMZN exiting 2026-09-23]

📖 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.
