I think that has been answered before but I can’t find the post.
Simulations are based on over-the-weekend data updates. So if a new income statement or analyst estimate came out on Tuesday, the simulation doesn’t get the update until it rebalances the following Monday.
What about the Live data? Is all data updated each day? Ie. price / volume, short interest, financial statements and analyst data all updated each day? Or is it similar to the simulations, where the database doesn’t reflect it until the following Monday?
I imagine price volume is updated but are all the other data types / sources updated as well daily?
Almost everything is updated daily. There are exceptions limited to a small subset of the analyst data, I believe. I am not sure I can give you a complete list (I will leave it to a P123 staff member to give a complete list without errors), but as you can see by the last sentence in this screenshot to the right, here is an example of the few features that are updated only weekly:
I think Yuval gave an exhaustive list in his post here: How often is Factset consensus data updated? - #6 by yuvaltaylor
“The only data that is updated only weekly is a specific group of EPS estimate revisions, namely these:
