Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMD S2 | +0.42% | -1.42% | Signal: Not settled here — over the roughly one-day window the trade was open, AMD went from +0.5% above prior close at fill to below prior close, so the bullish call didn't play out in that window, but the position was closed by a netting rule (outranked by an S1 short), not by the thesis failing, so whether the Helios/Vultr news would have moved the stock later can't be judged from this data. Timing (dominant factor): At decision time AMD was ~604.1 (-0.61% vs 607.85 close), yet the fill was 611.07 — about 1.15% higher — meaning the pop happened between decision and fill and the trade bought the top of it. The exit at 603.52 is almost exactly the decision-time price, so essentially the entire -7.55 loss is the decision-to-fill slippage being given back. Exit: The forced netting exit landed at -1.24%, close to the -1.42% worst and well below the +0.42% best, so it captured roughly the worst of what was available; it was a mechanical close, not a judgment on the trade. |
| NVDA S3 | +0.10% | -0.99% | Signal: Essentially a scratch, and the bearish call was weak — the catalyst (a competitor AMD/HPE order) is second-order news for NVDA, and price spent the trade mostly against the short (worst −0.99%) before drifting back to roughly flat; the +0.14% close is noise, not confirmation of direction. Timing: the fill (229.87) was ~0.8% above the decision-time price (~228.0), which actually helped the short, so a stale/late entry is not the story here. Exit: the exit captured essentially everything available — P&L (+0.14%) actually exceeds the logged best unrealized (+0.10%), which is internally inconsistent (likely sampling of the best/worst tracker) but either way there was no meaningful upside left on the table. Dominant factor: a thin, indirect bearish signal that never produced a real down-move. |
📖 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.
