Retrospectives

PLTR S4	+0.65%	-4.24%	Signal was wrong. The rationale called for upward overnight drift on a bullish-sentiment article, but PLTR fell from 208.65 to 200.30 (-4.0%), with the best unrealized gain only +0.65% against a worst of -4.24% — the stock was essentially never meaningfully in the money. Timing cannot be cleanly judged: the stock was already down -1.18% on the day at decision time, so entry was not chasing a completed rally, but the data here does not indicate what move the article anticipated or whether it had already occurred. Exit roughly matched what was available for a mechanical next-close rule. The exit at -4.0% landed close to the -4.24% worst unrealized, so the fixed close-to-close exit did not leave gains uncaptured — there were none to speak of (the +0.65% peak was negligible). The dominant factor is a failed directional signal, not exit mechanics.

📖 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.
