vrtrader64 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 What can be done when a stock undergoes a split or reverse-split (consolidation) and the data provider does not adjust the historical data? What about tick/intraday data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Portfolio Editor - select the symbol there and hit the SPLIT button. There is an option to adjust the existing data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrtrader64 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Portfolio Editor - select the symbol there and hit the SPLIT button. There is an option to adjust the existing data. that option's available for portfolios but not watchlists. Maybe it should be available for watchlist too? I did a workaround by first adding the symbol that needed adjustment to a portfolio, then selecting "adjust all portfolios" and "adjust intraday data" and that seemed to almost work (the previous day data were all adjusted except for one point).

Jerry Medved Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 The split adjust button should only be used if the data vendor does not split the data for you. If they do, then just clear the data in MT and let backfill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrtrader64 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 True, but split adjustment may be done by data vendor with a delay - so if I want to see "correct" charts immediately, I need to do split adjustment on day of split, then clear/backfill when vendor does it too. If I cannot split-adjust on the day of a split, I will lose the effective use of the chart for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 You can do the split adjustment on the day of the split - on the day of the split the stock is trading post split. MT will adjust the data for all previous days. My point was that it really is not intended as a frequently used item, so did not want to make it more prominent or add it to WatchLists.
