Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S1	+1.82%	+0.16%	Signal was right: the bullish call played out, with GOOGL rising ~1.8% from entry. Timing was good — price was slightly down (-0.63%) at decision time rather than already extended, and the worst unrealized of +0.16% shows the trade never went underwater. The exit was near-optimal, capturing +1.81% against a best unrealized of +1.82%, so the dominant factor here is simply a correct, well-timed signal executed cleanly — nothing in the data suggests any leakage between prediction and outcome.

📖 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.

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.
