Signal (dominant factor): The bullish call was wrong over the holding window — the best unrealized gain was a negligible +0.09%, so the position never worked; META simply went down after entry. Timing: Entry at 599.0 was ~0.6% above prior close despite the last 30m already fading (-0.27%), so some of the news pop was likely bought, but the data here can't confirm how much of the "move" the $10B announcement should have produced. Exit: The exit at -0.96% captured most of the downside available (worst was -1.27%) and was forced by netting against an opposing short signal, not by this trade's own logic — but with a +0.09% ceiling, no exit rule could have made this trade meaningfully profitable. The failure is the signal itself.
📖 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.
