Retrospectives
| ticker | mfe | mae | reflection |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVDA S1 | +0.16% | -1.47% | Signal: Wrong over the holding period — NVDA rebounded after entry, with the short never showing more than +0.16% unrealized gain versus -1.47% at worst. Whether the regulatory thesis could have played out over a longer horizon isn't settled by this data, but the bearish call didn't materialize while the trade was open. Timing: The entry came after a -1.68% decline from the prior close, so the short was placed into an already-extended down move — consistent with catching a rebound rather than fresh downside. Exit: The close at 195.80 (-1.33%) was near the worst unrealized level (-1.47%) and was forced by netting against an opposing long signal, not by the thesis — but given the trade was almost never in profit, there was little available to capture anyway. Dominant factor: bad signal (bearish call into a bounce), with late timing as a contributor. |
📖 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.
