Delaney, you are welcome to discuss.

Do you know if the Q database adjusts for TLT dividends (or in this case the coupon payments made on the bond)?

TLT paying dividends at the beginning of each month.
It is reflected in Q data inline with other data sources but appear slightly later then on my brokerage account:
