Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
AAPL S1+1.66%-0.38%

Signal: Right — bullish call on the M5 Ultra launch played out, with the stock rising ~1.4% after entry.

Timing: Fresh as claimed — at decision time the stock was only +0.05% from prior close and flat over the last 30 minutes, so the move had not already occurred.

Exit: Good capture — the +1.40% realized gain took most of the +1.66% peak unrealized, against only -0.38% adverse excursion. The dominant factor is simply a correct signal entered before the move; no meaningful flaw in timing or exit on this trade.

📖 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.
