I have a VG -Horse version with a field that uses fcfps12mq1d.s. I think this field may have disappeared with the new data supplier, but GRT1 still runs with the field.

This fieldname is not listed when I use list:*.s I am unsure what the "d" refers to?

There is a field: fcfps12m.s

And also a field: fcfpsq1.s This field is for q1 but does not match the value for fcfps12mq1d.s

To try and solve the problem I ran a screen on the NAS100From the Command Translation

https://gtr1.net/2013/?nas100.a:et1:fcfps12mq1d.s:...

step0: [NASDAQ 100 Member; lag=0 days] == 1
step1: [SI (d) Free Cash Flow/Share - TTM Q1; lag=0 days] > -1e+08
step2: [SI Free Cash Flow/Share Q1; lag=0 days] > -1e+08
step3: [SI Free Cash Flow/Share 12m; lag=0 days] > -1e+08; Cash When None


Also VG-Horse has a field to exclude financials pref(if(trbc2.s=55,1,0),if(sector.s=7,1,0),if(fincd12.a=11,1,0))

When screener is used, financials are now included. I have tried to find the new field name for Sectors. SIPro says:

Sector


Data Table Name: IND_2_DIG

Data Category: Company Information

Field Type: 2-digit number

Percent Rank: No

Industry/Sector Median: Yes

So I would think the field name would be ind2dig.s However, it is not. I think trbc2.s now has the GICS codes. For instance, when I use trbc2.s =40 JP Morgan is included. This would be correct for GICS but not for trbc2.

I am not sure what this does for back testing as the field names have not changed but the values have changed.

The "d" indicates derived field, that is, GTR1 calculates it based on fundamental data, rather than using the SiPro supplied field.
As I recall Robbie did this since there were often SiPro calculation errors that could be avoided by calculating from base data.

Having said that, I think there is something going on with GTR1, was just putting together a post on it.
Between yesterday and today, all of my screens changed more or less 100% with completely new tickers.
Yet, GTR1 has the same data date (11/29) for both runs. Normally I would suspect that new fundamental data became available.
However my intuition is that something else is going on.

I ran five SI screens yesterday, and then again today.
The first date in the each line below is the date the screens were run, and the second is that data date that GTR1 reported.
Note that they are 11/29 in each case, last Friday. However, I could tell that GTR1 had been updated, since the screens took a little longer to run.

You can see that the picks from today, 12/3, bear no resemblance whatsoever to yesterday's picks, despite both the screens and data date being the same.

Drilling down deeper, PPIH appears in the VG-Horse screen variant on both days. I had save the GTR1 output run.
There are small differences in some variables, but the main thing is that trbc2.s was 51 on the 12/2 run and became 20 on the 12/3 run.
Again, the GTR1 reported data date was 11/29 in both cases.
So it seems that a reassignment of the trbc codes has been put into effect, and it will take a bit of time to figure out the details.

It seems that the screen step I use to filter out financial and real estate companies is no longer working.
Most of the current tickers are financial companies, and it seems they have trbc2.s = 40.
If I add that to the FINwithRE filter:

FINwithRE: pref(if(trbc2.s=55!60!40,1,0),if(sector.s=7,1,if(incd.s=933,1,0)))

then the picks look more normal, but perhaps not completely. This change to trbc2.s would be something Robbie has put in, correct?
SiPro changed their data source back in October as I recall.

Mark

AAII made changes to the SI Pro data in October, so I kept the SI Pro field files frozen as of 20240930 until I had a chance this last weekend to make a few tweaks to my code that simply allowed the data to be processed and the field files updated. I have not taken any look at what changes AAII made and whether there needs to be changes in how the data is handled. Unfortunately, SI Pro data is very low priority right now (I don't use it for investing myself), and it may be a long before I ever take a deep look at what's going on with it.

How many people are still using the GTR1 backtester for SI Pro screening, and how important is it to you?

Robbie Geary

I still use GTR1/SiPro for pretty frequent updating and consider it important.
However I do wonder if SiPro screens could be ported into something else.

Mark

Robbie

I use GTR1 for one SI Pro screening. For my other SI Pro screens, I download the SI Pro data and get my own picks. What I do use GTR1 SI Pro for is backtesting.

As always. Thank you!!

Aussi

I use the GTR1 backtester for SI Pro screening, and use it for about 10% of my portfolio. Thank you for the many years GTR1 has been working wonderfully. I could find alternatives if necessary, but they would be inferior to GTR1. The alternatives might cost $1500 a year and take a few weeks work to learn. I don't have the technical skills to fully host GTR1, but could assist with specific tasks.

Even without data updates, GTR1 is valuable as a backtester. When the data was frozen on 20240930, I started using GTR1 for backtests and Radiscript for screening. Not ideal, but workable. I have a WWL method that is showing promise, but it needs the unique GTR1 daily-start backtesting.

This fieldname is not listed when I use list:*.s

The GTR1 list command returns 3900 fields Last Modified 20241129, but does not list 1621 derived fields (*d.s). The last date I have that GTR1 listed derived fields was 20200320. Most derived fields continued to work after 2020, but should be verified by inspecting the field values in a Screener report. fcfps12mq1d.s matches the sum of the 4 quarterly reports. fcfps12m.s matches the annual report when the last quarter was the year end as well:

Looking at the count of passing stocks with the screen {compareFCFd} can highlight dates where [fcfps12mq1d.s] differs from [fcfps12m.s].

Count of stocks passing step7 and step8 should be about the same:
step7: [Xd] > 0
step8: [Xs] > 0
Define: [ratio87] = count passing step8 / count passing step7
Ideally [ratio87] is 100%.

Count of stocks passing step11 and step12 should be about the same:
step11: [[Xd] - [medianXd]] > 0
step12: [[Xs] - [medianXs]] > 0
Define: [ratio1211] = count passing step12 / count passing step11
Ideally [ratio1211] is 100%.

[ratio87] is now 90%. A chart shows dips about once a year to about 94% since 2016. A 90% value indicates that 10% of stocks with positive [Xd] have negative [Xs].

[ratio1211] is now 82%. This is much lower than the previous low of 92% seen between 2004 and 2009.

Both ratios are lower than normal, indicating something has changed with one of these fields. The change happened suddenly on 20241007, about the time of the new SIP data.

Note that each data vendor uses a different FCF calculation. The new SIP data has different FCF than the old data. This doesn't affect the field comparison, but could mean backtest results are less applicable to current picks (because FCF has changed).

Robbie,

I still use a couple of SI Pro screens. I have been backtesting some WWL possibilities that I was planning on using this next year. Can I assume that backtesting is still OK and it is just the screening that may have problems?

Bottom line is avoid [fcfps12m.s]. Instead use [fcfps12mq1d.s] or [fcfpsy1.s]. Details:

FCF is adjusted both by the company and the data vendor. FCF per share:

Ticker  Barchart   M*   SIPnew  SIPold  period
  BAX     2.04    2.04   0.89    0.89    Y2023
  MMM     9.14    9.15   3.17    3.17    Y2023
 AMZN     1.12    0.73   0.49    0.72   Q202406

I do not know how [fcfps12m.s] is calculated and so would avoid using it. For example, both BAX and MMM have fiscal year ending December 31st, and latest reported quarter ending September 30, 2024. [fcfps12mq1d.s] is the sum of quarters 1 through 4 as expected. Somehow, [fcfps12m.s] is more negative than any combination of quarters.

I use a combination of everything so don't know how to quantify but yes I use SIPro fields as your tester calculates; I don't use industry category definitions much, though. So if your question is "is SIPro as reported in your tester important to you" the answer is "yes".
-Tom

FINwithRE: pref(if(trbc2.s=55!60,1,0),if(sector.s=7,1,if(incd.s=933,1,0)))

The previous (before SiPro's change in October) trbc2 codes for financial and real estate companies are 55 and 60. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Refinitiv_Busine...
The respective GICS codes are 40 and 60, and oddly the real estate company code did not change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Industry_Clas...
So the standard filter above can be replaced by:

FINwithRE: pref(if(trbc2.s=40!60,1,0),if(sector.s=7,1,if(incd.s=933,1,0)))

for the purposes of generating current picks. However the backtest will not be correct due to this change.
Backtests can be run with the old codes ending 20241001 and then they should be consistent with prior results.


Mark

I use it regularly and it's very valuable to me. I'm not an expert, no fancy stuff, just put together basic screens based on pretty simple ideas, or things shared here.

I think there was a way to make a donation to cover costs for GTR1 many years ago. Is that still true? If so, I'd like to help out.

Thanks,
John

I use the following steps in GTR1 to drop Finance and RE:

fincd12.a != 11
styp.a != 18!48

Lizgdal

If you have a link, could you please post a link to the definitions/values for the fincd and styp.

For VG Horse version I am using, changing to your industry steps and not using the SIPro industry gives me about the same backtest results.

Thanks

For new screens, I use:

styp.a Security Type counts in gtr1
http://www.datahelper.com/mi/search.phtml?nofool=y...

"In order to make it easier to include or exclude certain kinds of securities like REITs, Limited Partnerships, Closed-End Funds, etc, I have added the field [Security Type] from the daily data source to the field file styp.a. "

Excluding SPACs from GTR1 Backtests
"US-incorporated SPACs have values of 16 in styp.a while foreign-incorporated SPACs have values of 17. "
http://www.datahelper.com/mi/search.phtml?nofool=y...

All of my screens have these filters: no financial/real estate, security type only 11 or 12, and no China stocks.

FINwithRE: pref(if(trbc2.s=40!60,1,0),if(sector.s=7,1,if(incd.s=933,1,0)))

FINwithRE = 0
styp.a = 11!12
country.s != 3!7  

I backtested all of my screens using fincd12.a != 11 instead of the FINwithRE definition above.
The backtest results were arguably the same, perhaps a little better for most screens using fincd12.a.
Using fincd12.a would avoid this recent SiPro change in backtest anyway, and it gives a bit simpler code.
However Robbie has pointed out in the past that the fama french codes are somewhat arbitrary due to inconsistencies in how SIC codes are assigned.


Mark

I agree that the data vendor custom industry classifications are probably more accurate. But the computer generated [fincd12.a] makes backtesting easier.

In the S&P 1500, there are 330 stocks that are classified as Financial Sector by all 3 data sources, and only 57 stocks with disagreement. The new SIP data disagrees with the old SIP data for 29 stocks. The field [fincd12.a] disagrees with the old SIP data for 37 stocks.

If the oldSIP classifications are "correct", then the newSIP Finance Sector classifications are "wrong" for 29 out of 387 stocks, and [fincd12.a] Finance Sector classifications are "wrong" for 37 out of 387 stocks. Not much difference, and a less than 10% "error" rate.

For example, placement in the Financial Sector:
ABG Asbury Automotive Group: only [fincd12.a]
FDS FactSet Research: only newSIP
WU Western Union: not oldSIP
WT WisdomTree: not [fincd12.a]

newSIP is SIP 20241017 data with Sector "60 - Real Estate" or "40 - Financials".
fincd is GTR1 20241017 data with fincd12.a = 11
oldSIP is SIP 20240930 data with trbc2 = 60 or 55.

I use both SI-Pro's own screening (with further spreadsheet work) & GTR1 for screening - essentially as a check on each other. As such I've been leaning on own screening this year quite a bit.

I had detected that the data was frozen and so as the earnings season progressed GTR1 screening started to differ from the SI-Pro screening (as companies were updated). I've been traveling and so have done minimal MI work over the last week or two, but I'll take a look at converting the common sector & industry screening steps in-line with lizgdal's suggestion (to use the *.a fields) but it could take a few days. If & when the new SI-Pro sector & industry data come on-line then a further conversion can be made.

Thanks again for the GTR1 Robbie!

please someone volunteer and do it and email him and me that you have (so I don't have to
pay; I did it too recently to get the free period).
