Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMZN S1 | +0.33% | -1.07% | Signal: wrong. The bearish call didn't play out over the holding period — AMZN rose from entry 248.14 to 249.70, and the position spent most of its range underwater (worst -1.07% vs. best only +0.33%). The rationale itself is a multi-year breakeven thesis ("may take years"), which offers no directional edge on this trade's horizon, and price action confirms none materialized. Timing: not clearly settled by the data — entry came at 248.14 vs. a +0.56%-since-prev-close context, so the stock had already pulled back somewhat before fill, but there's no evidence a bearish move had "already happened" that the entry missed; the subsequent move was simply upward. Exit: acceptable given a bad signal. The -4.68 P&L (~-0.63%) sits between the best (+0.33%) and worst (-1.07%) unrealized, so the exit gave back the small favorable window but cut the loss before the worst point. Dominant factor: bad signal — a slow-burning macro thesis produced no near-term downside to capture. |
📖 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.
