Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S2	+1.22%	-0.61%	Rationale vs. outcome: The entry was a second-order inference — Intel's earnings mentioning a Google TPU order — yet the ticker traded was GOOGL, whose stock had no direct catalyst; unsurprisingly the trade went nowhere (+0.12%, essentially noise given the ±1% intraday swing). The "FRESH" verdict rewarded news recency but ignored that the news was about Intel, not the traded name. Improvement: Add an entry gate requiring the traded ticker to be the primary subject of the catalyst (e.g., the earnings reporter itself), or downgrade second-hand mentions to a weaker verdict tier (e.g., "DERIVATIVE") that requires a larger expected-edge threshold or confirmation signal before triggering a buy.

📖 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 ≥ 60.
