Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| META S3 | -0.29% | -3.62% | Signal: Wrong. The thesis was a bearish repricing of META off a third-party (Anthropic) earnings headline, but after entry META never traded meaningfully lower (best unrealized only -0.29%) and instead retraced the entire intraday drop, closing out at 737.39 — essentially the prior close of 737.54. The data doesn't establish any causal link between the cited article and META, so the thesis itself is unsupported by what's here. Timing: The move had already happened. At decision time the stock was -1.05% from prev close (~729.8), but the fill came at 717.5, about -2.7% — the entry was taken roughly 1.7% below the decision price, at what turned out to be the low, so the short was initiated after the down-move was complete and mean-reversion took it straight back up. Exit: Nothing was available to capture — there was never positive unrealized P&L. The -2.77% realized loss sits between the best (-0.29%) and worst (-3.62%), so the exit was neither the bottom nor a blowout; the dominant factor is the entry itself: a bearish signal filled after the drop was already in, on a thesis with no demonstrated connection to the ticker. |
📖 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.
