Tickfloor

Where company numbers come from, and when

Know which document holds which number, and exactly when each becomes public.

Module 7 of 26, Reading a company’s numbers. Lesson 1 of 6, about 16 minutes.

The takeaway

Always check the timestamp: information only existed after it was released. Point-in-time data is the only honest backtest.

This page is a public summary. The full lesson has the worked examples, an interactive exercise and a short quiz, and sits in the course. Lessons 1 and 2 of Module 1 are free and the rest need a pass.
