Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMCI S4 | +1.82% | -3.78% | Signal: Right, but barely — the trade closed +0.53%, so the long direction held over the overnight window, though weakly. Timing: The move had largely already happened by entry — SMCI was up +1.88% on the day and +2.22% in the final 30 minutes before the close-price fill, indicating the news was being priced in as the trade chased it. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured +0.53% of a +1.82% best unrealized while also riding through a -3.78% drawdown — it left roughly two-thirds of the available upside but avoided a loss far larger than the gain. The dominant factor here is timing: entering after a sharp pre-close pop on already-public news left only a thin residual drift to harvest, and the position's risk (-3.78%) was badly asymmetric to what it earned. |
📖 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.
