Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
MSFT S3+1.09%-0.35%

Signal: Correct — the bullish call played out, with MSFT rising ~0.96% from entry (whether the summit news was the actual driver can't be verified from this data).

Timing: The move had not already happened at entry — the stock was down 0.63% on the day with a flat last 30 minutes, and the fill at 493.13 was well below the prior close, so the trade bought before the rise rather than chasing it.

Exit: Strong capture — the +0.96% realized gain took nearly all of the +1.09% best unrealized, against only -0.35% adverse excursion. Dominant factor: a correct directional signal executed and exited cleanly; this trade worked on all three dimensions.

GOOGL S4+0.97%-0.48%

Signal: Right — GOOGL rose after entry, closing +0.40% above the fill.

Timing: Suspect. At decision time the stock was at roughly 335.7 (−0.63% from prev close 337.83), yet the fill was 342.85 — about 2% higher — so a large chunk of the anticipated drift had already occurred before entry. The data doesn't explain the decision-to-fill gap, but the price context makes clear the entry chased a move already underway.

Exit: Adequate — the +0.40% realized captured a bit under half the +0.97% best unrealized, and the −0.48% worst drawdown was modest; no severe give-back.

Dominant factor: Timing. The directional call was correct, but entering ~2% above the decision-time price consumed most of the available edge before the position even opened.

📖 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.
