| AMZN S2 | +0.56% | -2.03% | Signal was wrong — and the rationale was thin to begin with. The article is about Oracle's cloud growth relative to AWS, not a fresh negative catalyst for Amazon, and AMZN rose ~2% against the short after entry; the direction call simply failed. On timing, AMZN was already down 0.95% from the prior close when the decision was made, so whatever bearish drift existed had largely played out before the fill at 254.77 (slightly above the decision-time price), though the data here can't confirm the dip was news-driven rather than noise. Exit captured the worst of it: the realized loss (−5.15/share ≈ −2.02%) matches the worst unrealized (−2.03%) almost exactly, while the best available was only +0.56%, so the trade was closed at effectively the low point of its own range with little upside ever on offer. Dominant factor: bad signal on a non-catalyst article; exit at the bottom made the loss as large as it could have been. |
