Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| MU S4 | +6.65% | -4.69% | Signal: Wrong on the close-to-close basis the rule actually bets on — the "overnight drift" didn't materialize by the next close; MU finished −2.85% from entry despite the bullish earnings framing. The +6.65% peak shows the direction was right at some point during the hold, but the data doesn't say when that peak occurred (e.g., at the open vs. later), so I can't tell whether the earnings pop was captured-then-faded or whether it was a mid-session spike. Timing: Not the problem — at decision time the stock was only +0.41% since prev close (+0.80% in the last 30 min), so the move had not already run before entry. Exit: This is the dominant factor. The fixed next-close exit gave back the entire +6.65% best unrealized and exited at −2.85%, closer to the −4.69% worst than to the peak; roughly 9.5 points of range were available and the mechanical timer captured none of the upside. Bluntly: a right-direction-at-some-point trade converted into a loss purely by the exit rule, compounded by the fact that the close-to-close signal itself failed. |
📖 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.
