Hi, do correct me if I’m mistaken, but shouldn’t scrip payout date check be aligned with the payout date instead of the closure date?
I cannot remember exactly why I decided to choose ExDate but I can think of two reasons why ExDate was chosen.
-
In theory, a stock price will drop when it reaches ExDate, by having it set to ExDate can help mitigate it slightly.
-
There are some cases (though rare) where my data is missing PayDate
But yes, maybe we should allow both ExDate and PayDate. Wonder what others think?
