Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA S4 | +0.66% | -1.49% | Signal: Right — NVDA rose +0.67% from entry (226.56) to next close (228.08), consistent with the long-drift call, though the exit was still below the 229.28 prior close, so the stock never actually recovered the ground it lost into the entry; whether the M&A headline drove the bounce versus general drift is not settled by this data. Timing: The move had not already happened — if anything the fill at 226.56 was ~1% below the ~228.9 decision-time price (-0.17% from prev close), so the position got in after a dip rather than after a rally. The journal doesn't explain the gap between the decision-time quote and the fill, so I can't say whether that was slippage, a late-session selloff, or a stale price context. Exit: Near-perfect — P&L of +6.08 USD (+0.67%) matches the +0.66% best unrealized, meaning the next-close exit landed at the top of the hold's range after riding through a -1.49% drawdown. The dominant factor is a correct directional signal with an exit that captured the full available move; the small dollar size (4 shares) is what keeps the result modest, not the execution. |
📖 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.
