Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
AMD S4	+4.53%	-0.93%	Signal: right. AMD rose from the 617.27 entry to a 633.94 next-close exit (+2.70%), and the worst unrealized drawdown was only -0.93%, so the long-direction call on the M&A headline held up cleanly. Timing: not stale. At decision time the stock was only +0.76% off the prior close (611.74) and flat over the last 30 minutes, and the fill at 617.27 was about +0.9% above prior close — so only a small slice of the eventual move had happened before entry. Whether the article itself was already old news can't be determined from what's here. Exit: left money on the table. The best unrealized was +4.53% (roughly 645) versus the +2.70% realized, so the fixed next-close exit captured about 60% of the peak and gave back ~1.8 points of gain. The dominant factor is the correct directional signal; the exit rule, not the thesis, is what capped the result.

📖 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.
