Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
MU S3	+0.64%	-1.03%	Signal: Essentially unresolved — the trade closed up +0.06%, but the path (+0.64% best, −1.03% worst) was noise around flat and skewed to the downside, so there's no evidence the "bullish MU on Samsung smartphone production cuts" thesis actually drove price; the rationale's causal link (a major memory customer cutting handset output → bullish for a memory supplier) is itself questionable, and nothing here settles whether it was ever a real repricing catalyst. Timing: Entry came after a dip (−0.72% from prev close, −0.95% in the prior 30m), so this wasn't chasing a move that had already happened; if anything the entry price was below the prior close. Exit: The exit captured +0.65 USD out of a +0.64% best unrealized (~0.1% of a ~0.6% available), while sidestepping the −1.03% worst — the dominant factor is that there was no directional move to capture at all, and the tiny positive P&L is indistinguishable from random drift.

📖 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.
