Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| GOOGL S1 | +0.07% | -3.16% | Signal (dominant factor): wrong. The bullish call failed outright — the stock never moved more than +0.07% in the trade's favor and fell steadily afterward. Notably, the rationale itself (a competitor's price cut "intensifying competition" against Alphabet) reads more bearish than bullish for GOOGL, though the data here can't confirm whether the market moved on that news specifically. Timing: not the issue. Price was essentially flat at entry (-0.04% since prev close, -0.14% last 30m), so the trade wasn't chasing an already-completed move. Exit: near-worst, but little was available. The -3.07% realized loss sits close to the worst unrealized (-3.16%), and with a best unrealized of only +0.07%, there was almost no favorable exit to capture — the loss is attributable to the bad signal, not exit execution. |
📖 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.
