Retrospectives

ticker	mfe	mae	reflection
TSLA S4	+0.93%	-2.34%	Signal (dominant factor): The predicted upward drift was wrong on net — TSLA closed lower the next day, and the trade lost -0.58%. The stock did briefly trade up (+0.93% max), but that's noise-sized, not a confirmation of the thesis. Timing: The stock was already down -1.83% from the prior close at entry, but the data doesn't establish when the Terafab announcement broke relative to that decline, so whether the news was already priced in can't be settled here. Exit: The mechanical next-close exit landed between the extremes — worse than the +0.93% peak but well above the -2.34% trough — so the exit gave up little; the loss reflects a directionally wrong signal, not a botched exit.

📖 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.
