Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
TSM S1+0.44%-0.84%

Signal: Unclear — the position was closed early because a conflicting short signal netted it out, not because the thesis played out, so this trade doesn't cleanly test the bullish call. While open, price spent more time against the position (worst -0.84% vs. best +0.44%) and never sustained upside.

Timing: Partly stale — entry came after price was already +0.42% above prev close and fading (-0.34% last 30m), and the fill at 452.88 was above even that context, so the trade bought into a pullback from a move that had largely occurred.

Exit: The -0.41% realized loss sits between the +0.44% best and -0.84% worst, so the exit gave back the small available gain but avoided the full drawdown. Dominant factor: entry timing — chasing an already-priced move — compounded by a forced early exit that leaves the signal itself unresolved.

📖 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.
