Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD S4 | +3.73% | -3.69% | Entry vs. outcome: The thesis assumed a partnership headline would produce positive overnight drift, but the news was likely already priced in by the close, and the trade bled -3.46% while excursions were nearly symmetric (+3.73%/-3.69%) — that's noise, not drift, meaning the signal had no edge here. The strategy also left a +3.7% unrealized gain on the table with no mechanism to capture it. Improvement: Add a filter requiring the announcement to be after-hours or same-day fresh AND the stock not to have already rallied >2-3% intraday on the news — buying stale, priced-in headlines at the close is just paying the market's markup. Alternatively, given the symmetric excursion range, add a take-profit at ~+2.5% intraday so a favorable overnight pop actually converts to realized PnL instead of round-tripping to a loss. |
📖 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 ≥ 60.
