How Often Do Indonesian Stock Screener Results Refresh on Pluang?
Refresh cadence depends entirely on which metric is driving the screen, not on the screener as a whole — Pluang's Screeners pull together data with five genuinely different update schedules. Live price and 1D % change update in real time during IDX trading hours across every screener. Intraday technical indicators, specifically RSI and today's trading volume, update continuously during the trading day. Moving averages and 52-week high/low levels only roll forward once, at market close, so they stay fixed intraday even while price keeps moving. Fundamental data — P/E, ROE, Dividend Yield, and similar accounting metrics — only updates when the underlying company actually publishes quarterly or annual results, which can mean weeks between changes. Broker Index and foreign net-buy data refresh once daily, end-of-day, so intraday broker or foreign-flow activity isn't reflected until the next trading day begins.
Refresh cadence by data type:
| Data type | Refresh cadence | Screeners affected |
|---|---|---|
| Live price, 1D % change | Real-time during IDX trading hours | All screeners — header columns |
| RSI | Intraday, during trading hours | RSI Overbought, RSI Strong Momentum, Oversold Stocks, Golden Cross, Trend-Following, Momentum Stocks |
| Today's volume | Intraday | Volume Breakout |
| Moving averages (20/50/200-day) | Once, at market close | Golden Cross, Trend-Following, Momentum Stocks, Strong Fundamental Near 52-Week Low |
| 52-week high/low | Rolling, recalculated daily at market close | 52-Week High, 52-Week Low, Momentum Stocks, Strong Fundamental Near 52-Week Low |
| Fundamentals (P/E, P/B, ROE, ROA, EPS, Dividend Yield, Payout, Debt-to-Equity, Interest Coverage) | When companies publish quarterly or annual results | All Fundamental and Combination screeners |
| Foreign net buy volume | Daily, end-of-day | Foreign Uptrend, Positive Foreign Buy |
| Broker Index, broker average cost | Daily, end-of-day | Big Broker Accumulation, Broker Bullish, Broker Bearish |
What this means in practice: open any screener during market hours and the live price column ticks continuously, while the actual qualifying list — which stocks appear at all — only changes when the underlying metric crosses the screener's threshold. An RSI-based screener's list can add or drop stocks intraday as RSI moves above or below its cutoff, but a fundamental screener's list can stay identical for weeks at a stretch between earnings seasons.
Related questions:
Q: Does the screener result list change while I'm actively looking at it?
Live price updates continuously, but whether a stock actually enters or exits the qualifying list during the day depends on whether its underlying metric crosses the screener's threshold in that moment — for an RSI-based screener, that means the list can genuinely shift while you're watching it, unlike a fundamental screener's list.
Q: How fresh is Broker Index data specifically?
Broker Index refreshes once daily, after market close — it is not a live, intraday figure. That means any concentrated broker buying or selling that happens during today's session won't show up in the Big Broker Accumulation, Broker Bullish, or Broker Bearish screeners until tomorrow's refresh.
Q: Why do Fundamental Screeners seem to change so slowly?
Because the metrics behind them — P/E, ROE, Dividend Yield, and similar accounting ratios — only change when a company actually publishes new financial statements, which happens quarterly at most under IDX reporting requirements. A stock can sit in or out of a Fundamental screener's list for the entire quarter between earnings releases.
Q: Are Screener results still usable outside trading hours?
Yes. You can open any screener at any time, including outside IDX trading hours. Live price will simply show the last closing price rather than a moving figure, and the technical and fundamental criteria still apply based on the most recently available data — you're not locked out of the feature when the market is closed.
