Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVGO S1 | +1.84% | -0.96% | Signal: right. The bullish REPRICING call played out — price rose ~1.4% from entry to exit. Timing: good, arguably favorable. The stock was down 1.14% from prior close at decision time, so entry came on a dip rather than chasing a move that had already happened. Exit: solid capture. The +1.42% realized gain took most of the +1.84% best unrealized, leaving only ~0.4% on the table, with drawdown risk (-0.96%) well contained. Dominant factor: correct directional signal, cleanly executed — this trade worked as designed on all three dimensions. |
📖 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 ≥ 60.
