Signal: Right — MSFT rose ~1.2% from entry to next close, consistent with the long call. Timing: The move had not already happened; at decision time the stock was down 1.15% on the day and still slipping over the last 30 minutes, and the fill (533.4) came in roughly 0.7% below the decision-time price (~537.2), so the entry was if anything favorable rather than late — though the data doesn't explain the gap between decision price and fill. Exit: The +6.43 USD (+1.2%) captured about 85% of the +1.43% best unrealized and never sat near the -0.92% worst, so the mechanical next-close exit left little on the table.
Dominant factor: a correct directional call on a stock that was already down going in, with the exit harvesting nearly all of the available move.

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.
