Retrospectives

META S2	-0.30%	-1.18%	Signal was the dominant factor and it was wrong. The long never saw a positive tick — best unrealized was −0.30%, worst −1.18% — so META did not move bullishly at any point while the trade was open; and the rationale's basis (a "telecom stocks" podcast headline tagged as META m&a) is a tenuous link to META at all. Timing: the stock was already +0.67% on the day at decision time and the fill (725.48) came slightly above the quoted context, but the data here doesn't show what happened after the forced close, so whether the move had "already happened" versus simply never materializing can't be settled from this journal entry alone. Exit was reasonable given the circumstances. The close was mechanical (netted out by a higher-ranked S1 short, decision 28797), not a judgment call, and the −0.38% realized sits close to the −0.30% best available and well above the −1.18% worst — so the exit captured nearly the best outcome on offer; the loss is a signal problem, not an exit problem.

Signal was the dominant factor and it was wrong. The long never saw a positive tick — best unrealized was −0.30%, worst −1.18% — so META did not move bullishly at any point while the trade was open; and the rationale's basis (a "telecom stocks" podcast headline tagged as META m&a) is a tenuous link to META at all.

📖 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.
