Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSLA S3	+0.80%	-0.13%	Signal: Direction was right but marginally — TSLA drifted up ~0.16% from entry, with the best unrealized reaching +0.80% and worst only -0.13%, so the long never faced real adverse pressure. Whether that was causally tied to the Lucid-production-cut thesis can't be settled from this data; a competitor miss read as TSLA-bullish is a thin link and the move is within ordinary noise. Timing: The stock was already +1.05% on the day at decision time (and -0.22% in the prior 30m), and the fill at 379.82 was +0.35% over the prior close, so a portion of whatever "repricing" existed had already occurred before entry — though the subsequent +0.80% peak shows the move wasn't fully exhausted. Exit (dominant factor): The trade captured +0.16% (+$1.18) out of a +0.80% best unrealized, i.e. roughly a fifth of what was available, giving back most of the gain before closing. The outcome is a small win driven by a weak signal with a poorly captured exit; exit capture is the standout issue.

📖 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.
