🧭 Decisions

|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | GOOGL | ○ skip | — | verdict FRESH, direction bearish -> short GOOGL (regulatory: California Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order to accelerate AI oversight and explore safety mechanisms like a 'kill switch' for frontier models.) [skipped: duplicate theme — already holding S1 short GOOGL exiting 2026-09-22] → close -0.29% |
| S2 | - | ○ skip | — | no counterparty in universe |
| S3 | AAPL | ○ skip | — | direction unclear for AAPL → close -0.21% |

Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| GOOGL S4 | +8.79% | -0.56% | Signal: right. The short direction was correct — GOOGL fell ~3.8% while the position was open, and the pre-entry dip (-0.75% into entry) was small relative to what came after, so the move had not already happened. Exit: the dominant factor. The trade peaked at +8.79% unrealized but the fixed next-close exit captured only +3.79% (+$26.60), giving back more than half of the available favorable move; downside risk was trivial (-0.56% worst). Blunt summary: good signal, fine timing, but the mechanical hold-to-close exit left the majority of the paper gain on the table. Whether an earlier exit was achievable in practice isn't settled by this data — we only know the peak occurred sometime intraday, not when. |
📖 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.
