Sims changing overnight Reply to this Post

Last night I found that some of my sims had changed overnight. Here is an example, everything is the same they were just run at different times and both using Compustat:

Mine, too. In both cases, the annual returns were nearly identical, but drawdown was 2% worse for one sim, and 3% better for the other. Other stats were close.

Might be related to ROE fix. You have it in the ranking system and in buy rules

Some stocks that should have had NA in ROE were actually getting very high ROE because both numerator & denominator were -ve. But that's a meaningless value. Of course those stocks were probably the best performers .

Unfortunately it looks like this might be ongoing for a bit as we clean out the kinks. We had to prioritize our time to make the deadlines for the Compustat switch and we're doing our best to make the system stable historically.

Just to clarify Marco, if the issue is the ROE and the link you provided implied it may have been fixed, then is my second SIM with the greater drawdown the more accurate sim?

Or, should I just wait for when the fix is complete?

Thanks
