Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
NVDA S3	+0.03%	-1.28%	Signal: Wrong over the holding period. The short was entered at 234.0 and NVDA rose to 236.71; the best the position ever showed was +0.03%, so the bearish call never got any confirmation. (Whether the underlying article — Samsung's profit beating Nvidia's — is even a directional catalyst for NVDA is not something this data settles; the rationale asserts bearish, the tape said otherwise.) Timing: Partially stale. At decision time NVDA was already -0.91% from the prior close, and the fill at 234.0 was lower still (~-1.4% vs. 237.42), so the short was taken after a dip rather than ahead of one, and the stock then reverted upward. Exit: The close was not a judgment call — the position was netted out by a higher-ranked opposing long (decision 27514). It realized -1.16% (-10.84 USD), nearly the full worst unrealized of -1.28%, so the exit captured almost the worst available outcome, but there was essentially no better outcome to capture (+0.03% max). Dominant factor: the direction was simply wrong; the forced exit from the conflicting long only determined how much of the loss was locked in.

📖 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.
