Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
PLTR S1	+1.44%	-0.17%	Signal: Right — the bullish call was correct; price moved up after entry. Timing: The cited catalyst (surge past $190) had already played out — price was flat vs. prior close (+0.00%) at decision time — but a further move still materialized, so entering "stale" news didn't hurt here. Exit: This is the dominant factor: the trade closed at +0.51% (+$4.85) against a best unrealized of +1.44%, capturing only about a third of the available move while risk was minimal (worst -0.17%). Correct signal, late-but-workable timing, weak exit.
PLTR S4	+0.58%	-1.64%	Signal: Wrong — the predicted overnight upward drift didn't materialize; PLTR fell ~1.6% from entry to exit. Timing: The catalyst had already partly played out — entry at 192.79 was ~0.5% above the prior close of 191.79, so the trade paid a premium chasing news that had already moved the stock. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit realized -1.59%, nearly the worst unrealized (-1.64%), while the best available was only +0.58% — so even a perfect exit would have yielded little. Dominant factor: the signal was simply wrong — the news-driven pop faded rather than drifted higher, and no exit rule could have salvaged much given the shallow +0.58% peak.

📖 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.
