Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MU S1	+1.31%	-0.45%	Signal: Partially right — MU did rise another +1.31% above entry while the trade was open, so the bullish direction had something behind it, though the data doesn't show whether that was the earnings "repricing" or ordinary intraday drift. Timing: Entry came after the stock was already +1.39% on the day (1053.98 → ~1068), and the last-30m read was slightly negative, so part of the move was already in the price; still, a further +1.31% was available after fill, so timing was not the main problem. Exit: This is the dominant factor. The trade saw +1.31% unrealized (~+14 USD on one share) and was closed at -0.24% for -2.53 USD, near the middle of the +1.31%/-0.45% range — the exit captured none of what was available and instead turned a favorable move into a small loss. The journal doesn't say what triggered the exit (time stop, trailing rule, discretionary), so why the gain was given back can't be settled from this data.

MU S1

+1.31%

-0.45%

Signal: Partially right — MU did rise another +1.31% above entry while the trade was open, so the bullish direction had something behind it, though the data doesn't show whether that was the earnings "repricing" or ordinary intraday drift.

Timing: Entry came after the stock was already +1.39% on the day (1053.98 → ~1068), and the last-30m read was slightly negative, so part of the move was already in the price; still, a further +1.31% was available after fill, so timing was not the main problem.

Exit: This is the dominant factor. The trade saw +1.31% unrealized (~+14 USD on one share) and was closed at -0.24% for -2.53 USD, near the middle of the +1.31%/-0.45% range — the exit captured none of what was available and instead turned a favorable move into a small loss. The journal doesn't say what triggered the exit (time stop, trailing rule, discretionary), so why the gain was given back can't be settled from this data.

📖 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.
