RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] How to handle splits in historical stock data?

["Richard Dale" <richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An alternative if to use a data vendor that automatically adjusts for splits (and consolidations, renames, merges, code changes, exchange changes and other corporate actions).

 

Costs for such data vendors average around ~$25/month.

Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] How to handle splits in historical stock data?

Dear all,

I'm using historical data which I 
retrieve from the internet (Yahoo).
However, when a split occurs, metastocks 
shows this as a "terrible 
stock price free fall" which tampers my system 
testing.
Can any one help me telling Metastock this is a split event in stead 
of a price crash?

Thanks and kind regards 
(using metastock 
6.52)
