Index rebalancing questions

1.Are those updates delivered by any data provider or you are doing it in-house?
Answer: Yes, we fetch stockgroup changes from data provider (he offers actual content of stockgroups by REST API)

2. What is the rebalancing delay we need to expect?
Answer: this procedure is done regulary everyday at 9:00 pm (Prague time). So client should have delay 1 day.

3. Do we need to do anything more to update the ticker lists inside of SQX (apart from using the "update data in group" button)?

Answer: only one thing what you have to do is click on Update button above the stockgroup list

Thank you about your analysis, I'll check the differences.

Do we need to do anything more to update the ticker lists inside of SQX (apart from using the "update data in group" button)?

Answer: to get new stockgroup definition you don;t need to do anything. During starting up of strategyquant its checked if new stockgroup definition already exists. If yes, this newer stockgroup definition is automatically downloaded and new stocks are inserted to stockgroups definition. This check and update of stockgroup is done during startup of SQ only. 

You need to click on "Update" button when you really want to download history data for tickers which are oinclusesd in the stockgroup. 

thanks for the detailed info.

Then, it seems that the data provider has up to a few months of delay in adding/removing tickers to the index. Please give us a tip if you will know some details.

Best regards,
