    Default Tracker 9/8/09

    Maybe you already know but just in case...

    0% daily returns for everybody. Except the bottom 2 and they are -100%.

    Day after a holiday is always 0%. Your YTD total is correct. Dunno about the -100%.
    2 months!

    For once, I wish I was one of the bottom two.

    This is true. Thanks for responding. It should correct itself with Wednesday's data.

    I'll look into the -100% members.

    It looks like those two members had made transfers on 9/07/09, which was the holiday. I was supposed to run a script to change the date of any transfers done on 9/07 to 9/08.

    What are the chances of me remembering this on the next holiday?

    If anyone thinks of it on any TSP holiday, please send me a PM to remind me.

    You'd think I'd know that after hanging around this board for over a year...

    Nah, it's not you. It's probably something I should be doing differently with holidays, but I don't recall if Ocean said how to handle it.

    Reminder to myself to adjust the IFT dates on the tracker on Tuesday after Columbus Day.

    Preemptive strike?

    Bump
    I'm looking for an entry below $EMW's 669, but I'll take whatever the market is willing to give.

    Thanks for the reminder. I did what I had to do. Now let's see if we avoid the tracker showing 0% as the post-holiday daily return.

    Guess not. The returns are all correct except for the daily. It still shows 0% for the day. The utility that ocean had to change the date apparently does not take care of it. It only helps with IFT's done with a COB of the holiday (it has to be moved to the next day).

    I'll try again in November. To get it to work, I believe I may have to post a share price for the holiday equal to the price of the prior business day.
