Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSLA S4	+3.54%	-0.07%	Signal: Direction was right — TSLA rose +2.33% from entry to exit — but the stated catalyst (a Constellation Brands beer-demand earnings article) has nothing to do with TSLA, so the win isn't evidence the rationale worked; it's a generic overnight-drift hit on an unrelated news tag, and that mismatch is the dominant factor to flag. Timing: The move had not already happened — entry at 375.1 was below the prior close (377.71) and the worst unrealized was only -0.07%, so the position was essentially never underwater. One unsettled point: the decision-time price (-1.76% from prev close ≈ 371) is well below the 375.1 fill, and nothing here explains that ~1.1% gap between decision and fill. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit captured about two-thirds of what was available (+2.33% realized vs +3.54% best unrealized), leaving roughly 1.2% on the table — adequate, not optimal, and the data doesn't show when the peak occurred.

📖 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.
