Signal: Wrong over the holding window — the stock never moved meaningfully in the predicted direction (best unrealized was just +0.16%), so the bullish thesis didn't play out while the position was open. Timing: Suggestive of chasing — entry came after a +0.94% gap from prior close, consistent with the "market cap surge" news already being priced in, though the data here can't fully confirm the move was exhausted. Exit: The early close (forced by netting against an opposing signal, not by the thesis) took -0.28% against a best of +0.16% and worst of -0.39% — near the bottom of a very tight range, but there was little available to capture either way. Dominant factor: a stale-feeling bullish signal on already-reported news that produced no follow-through.
📖 Glossary

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.
