I don't mean to pick on tspgo because I'm sure he is not the only one, but for the record [FundSurfer], tspgo's effective date is actually the COB price. He doesn't do it like I do (or as the rules state). :shock:
I don't know which is best and I don't know how many people are doing it which way, but we need some consistency for those tracking us.

Semantics maybe?The F-Fund and the S-Fund triggered a buy signal on 04-12-05
ITF order entered at 10:00 pm on 04-12-05
Position effective on 04-13-05
G = 0 F=5 C= 35 S= 20 I = 40
TSPGO!
Why cob 4/14/05? I'd say more like oob (open of business) 4/14/05Semantics maybe?
I think he meant "Position request effective on 04-13-05." I actually track his new position (G = 0 F=5 C= 35 S= 20 I = 40) for cob 4/14/05.
I like that he entersthe date and time of his actual IFT request. This tells me that his request will not go in until 1200 est 4/13/05.
My .02 is that by looking at the time of his post I would say that he made the IFT the morning of the 12th making the position effective cob the 12th.The F-Fund and the S-Fund triggered a buy signal on 04-12-05
ITF order entered at 10:00 pm on 04-12-05
Position effective on 04-13-05

tspgo entered an ITF at 2200 on 4/12 - Tuesday. It was entered After the noon hour so that makes it an entry for Wednesday 4/13.ITF order entered at 10:00 pm on 04-12-05
Position effective on 04-13-05
There are more to it than that actually. At cob 4/13/05 he will get the cob share price for his previous post. Once the cob share price is allocated, it then gets transferred to the new allocation (Individual IFT will show two column; old and new allocation). So in a way, you are right about your oob analogy. However, as far as getting the % for TSP tracker that you designed,that oob doesn't really get tracked because the closing prices for 4/14/05 is what we put in to track the new allocation.pyriel wrote:Why cob 4/14/05?

Thank you. You got it right. "Effective" refers to what my e-mail from TSP will say tonight. I believe spreadsheet users would do whatever they do on 04-14-05tspgo_com wrote:

It is not my objective to create confusion. I just need to be consistent. Let me explain:
At 10:00 pm on 04-12-05, I submitted an IFT order to TSP to change my allocation as follows: G = 0 F=5 C= 35 S= 20 I = 40. This order when in before noon on 04-13-05 therefore the evening of 04-13-05, I will receive an e-mail from TSP stating that it was effective on 04-13-05. It means I purchased my shares at today (04-13-05) closing price.
For the spreadsheet it would be the same as saying that I went G = 0 F=5 C= 35 S= 20 I = 40 before 12:00 noon on 04-13-05.
Anybody who entered a transaction before noon on 04-13-05should have the same transaction date as mine on their spreadsheets. Whatever that date might be.
In my spreadsheet, I would put the COB share price of 4/13 for the old allocation, then start a new line for the new allocation on the 14th.tsptalk wrote:There are more to it than that actually.

Am I off the wall here?I feel funny talking about this from the master who designed the TSP tracker.![]()
I think what it is important is the time and date the request is submittedto TSP.gov. That can be determined by the date stamp on the post. I think we all know what happens whena request is submitted before noon on a particular day.If we ever resolve this tspgo, I'll delete these posts and give you your forum back.![]()
