Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
GOOGL S3	+0.20%	-0.23%	The entry treated a single-OEM automotive OS swap as bearish for GOOGL, but that's immaterial to Alphabet's revenue mix, and the market agreed — price chopped within ±0.23% and the trade bled a spread-sized loss. The "FRESH" verdict is doing all the work here; freshness alone doesn't imply price-moving materiality. Concrete fix: add a materiality gate to the entry rule (e.g., estimated revenue/segment impact above some threshold, or historical move size for comparable headlines), and skip trades where expected move is smaller than ~2x spread + fees.

📖 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.

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 ≥ 60.
