Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MSFT S1	+2.11%	-0.30%	Signal was right: the bearish call on MSFT played out, with the stock falling from 530.06 to 522.5 (about -1.4%). Timing was good — at decision time MSFT was essentially flat (+0.12% vs. prev close, +0.03% last 30m), so the move had not happened yet and the short caught it from the start. Exit was the weak link: the best unrealized was +2.11% (~$11.2 on one share) versus a realized +1.43% ($7.56), so roughly a third of the available gain was given back, though the trade never went meaningfully against it (worst -0.30%).

📖 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.
