Retrospectives

tickermfemaereflection
NVDA S1+0.13%-0.07%

The direction was nominally right — the stock inched up and the trade closed +0.60 — but the buyback news had already been absorbed by entry: price was +1.45% over the prior close and fading (-0.71% in the last 30m) at decision time, and the fill at 228.38 was ~+1.5% above the 225.07 close, so the trade bought after the repricing rather than ahead of it. Once open, the stock barely moved (best +0.13%, worst -0.07%), and the exit captured roughly half of that thin range, which is adequate execution given nothing was really on offer.

The dominant factor is timing: entering after a 1.5% gap meant the "repricing" thesis was already spent, leaving a sub-0.2% range to trade. Whether the buyback headline was actually what drove the earlier move isn't settled by this data, but that doesn't change the diagnosis.

📖 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.
