Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMD S1	+1.01%	-0.75%	Signal: right. The bullish call played out — price rose ~1.0% from entry to exit. Timing: fine — only +0.51% had accrued since the prior close at decision time, so the entry wasn't chasing an already-completed move (whether the "agentic AI CPU demand" thesis actually drove the move can't be determined from this data). Exit: near-optimal — the +6.29 P&L (~+1.02%) matches the best unrealized of +1.01%, meaning the exit captured essentially everything available while open. Dominant factor: a correct directional signal executed cleanly end-to-end; nothing here indicates a flaw.

📖 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.
