🚨 Alert #7522 Thu Oct-15 13:00:40

Signal: wrong. AAPL never got going after entry — best unrealized was only +0.05% and it spent the trade drifting to -0.72% — so the bullish read off a TSMC article that itself carried a "cautious tone on 2027" didn't play out; the rationale's directional link to AAPL is thin to begin with. Timing: already stretched. The stock was +0.74% vs prior close at decision time, and the fill at 347.08 was ~+1.2% over the 342.96 close, meaning roughly 0.45% of adverse slippage between decision and fill on top of a move that had largely happened. Exit: captured essentially the worst available — -0.71% realized versus -0.72% trough — but this was a forced net-out against an outranking S3 short (decision 30283), not a strategy-driven exit, so the data doesn't show whether holding would have recovered anything. Dominant factor: the signal was simply wrong; the fill slippage and bottom-tick forced exit made a bad call marginally worse.
